T-Mobile Internet Plans

T-Mobile Internet Deals, Price Lock, and Fine Print

T-Mobile sells internet with a very simple pitch: one flat monthly price, no annual contract, and hardware included. The lineup now covers 5G Home Internet for houses and apartments, T-Mobile Fiber in select buildout areas, and 5G Business Internet for offices and shops. Most plans come with a long price guarantee (T-Mobile says five years on Home and Business Internet, and even up to ten years on a special early Fiber offer), but that guarantee applies to the base service price and not to taxes or fees.

Plan types you can get

For home use, T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet plans are sold in tiers like Rely, Amplified, and All-In. These plans run on T-Mobile’s 5G and 4G LTE network, include unlimited data, ship with a Wi-Fi 6 gateway, and can usually be self-installed in about 15 minutes. Typical download speeds land in roughly the 133–415 Mbps range, with uploads often in the 12–55 Mbps range, depending on local signal and congestion. You also get a 15-day test drive window so you can cancel if it doesn’t work well at your address.

T-Mobile Fiber is the wired side: Fiber 500, Fiber 1 Gig, Fiber 2 Gig. These are symmetrical (same download and upload speeds), include pro install and mesh Wi-Fi gear on higher tiers, have no data cap, and don’t force a yearly contract. Pricing can drop if you also have an eligible T-Mobile phone line.

For businesses, 5G Business Internet is sold as either your main connection or a backup/failover line. It comes with a five-year price guarantee and promos like a virtual prepaid card for switching.

There’s also AWAY (sometimes shown as an RV / camper / travel internet plan). That option gives you a portable 5G/LTE gateway you can take on the road, with either a fixed monthly data bucket (like 200 GB) or an unlimited version. You’re even allowed to pause service seasonally instead of canceling.

What you really pay each month

The “as low as” price you see on T-Mobile’s site is almost always the best-case number. For example, Rely Home Internet is advertised as low as about $35 per month if you (1) use AutoPay and (2) already have a qualifying T-Mobile voice line on the account. Without a T-Mobile phone line, that same plan is typically around $50 per month with AutoPay. If you turn AutoPay off, T-Mobile says the bill is usually about $5 higher. Taxes, regulatory fees, and a one-time ~ $35 connection or device setup charge are extra and not part of the locked rate.

Fiber works the same way. Fiber 1 Gig, for example, is marketed around $75 per month with AutoPay plus a qualifying T-Mobile voice line, or about $90 per month with AutoPay alone. Those prices include pro install, Whole Home Wi-Fi gear, unlimited data, and no annual contract.

On the business side, 5G Business Internet is sold at about $50 per month if you keep an eligible business voice line active on the account, or $65 per month as a standalone line. Taxes and fees still apply, and the business gateway has a similar one-time connection charge. Credits like “$300 back” for new activations can take up to two billing cycles to post.

Terms discounts and the fine print

T-Mobile pushes three pillars: no annual contract, no data cap (for normal home and business plans), and a multi-year price guarantee. In plain terms, you’re not signing a one- or two-year cable-style agreement, and T-Mobile says it won’t raise the base monthly internet charge for at least five years on most plans. That promise doesn’t freeze taxes, surcharges, regulatory fees, or optional add-ons, and the company can change promo perks later.

AutoPay also matters. The lowest rate assumes you pay automatically from a bank account or debit card. Paying by credit card or turning AutoPay off usually bumps the bill. Credit approval is required, and T-Mobile may charge a non-return fee (up to hundreds of dollars) if you cancel and don’t send back the 5G gateway or fiber hardware.

How billing hardware and speeds work

The Wi-Fi gateway (or fiber gateway/mesh kit) is included — no ongoing rental line item. That’s a big difference from traditional cable bills. But there is often a one-time ~$35 connection or device fee on new internet lines.

T-Mobile also says it will help cover your old provider’s early termination fee, sometimes up to $750, via a virtual prepaid card when you switch to select Home Internet, Fiber, or 5G Business Internet plans. You have to submit proof of the charge, keep service active, and wait a couple billing cycles for the credit.

Speed-wise, 5G Home Internet and 5G Business Internet depend on location and signal. T-Mobile’s typical range for home downloads is ~133 to ~415 Mbps down and 12 to 55 Mbps up, but performance can dip in congested areas or after extremely heavy use (for example, over ~1.2 TB in a month). Fiber plans deliver consistent symmetrical speeds like ~1 Gbps down and up.

How to sign up

Availability is address-based. T-Mobile only activates Home Internet in areas where it believes there’s enough 5G/LTE capacity for you and your neighbors, and Fiber is still rolling out city by city. The easiest move is to check your address on the T-Mobile site. If you’d rather call, T-Mobile lists 1-844-839-5057 for Home Internet and Fiber sales, and 844-513-3183 for Business Internet.

If you qualify, they ship the gateway, you plug it in, and you’re online. You get a 15-day grace period to test it. If it’s not good enough, you can cancel, return the hardware, and walk away without an early termination fee. That mix — flat pricing, included hardware, long price lock, and no contract — is why we give T-Mobile internet an overall score around 4.5 out of 5, with the main downsides being taxes/fees, required AutoPay, and the fact that speeds still depend on local network strength.
