T-Mobile Now Offers Home Internet For $50 a Month With No Data Cap.

$50.00

Back in March 2019, T-Mobile announced that they have started to test home internet services using LTE. At the time, this program offered LTE home internet to 50,000 households to begin testing out T-Mobile's hardware ahead of their 5G home internet services launch. Now T-Mobile has opened its $50 a month unlimited home internet service up to everyone (subject to network availability).

"We've tripled our LTE coverage as we work to create a network where everyone in America has access to fast and reliable home internet, no matter where they live." T-Mobile says in a statement on its website.

This new service will offer 50 Mbps down home internet (due to "LTE network and spectrum capacity constraints") for $50 a month with no data cap. T-Mobile is quick to add that the new 5G home internet services will be far faster when it launches. T-Mobile says this service comes with no annual contracts, no data caps, no hidden fees, no price hikes, and no hardware costs.

This could be an excellent option for Americans living in markets with data caps. Using T-Mobile Home Internet could give you an opportunity to stream all you want without worrying about your data cap.

FAQ:
Can I use the LTE Wi-Fi Gateway elsewhere, like my vacation home?
No. The T-Mobile Home Internet LTE Wi-Fi Gateway will be geographically locked to your specified home's location so you won't be able to move it from one home to another.

Anybody know if there's a soft cap?
From their T&C:
Further, to provide the best possible on-device experience for the most possible customers on T-Mobile branded plans and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may, without advance notice, take any actions necessary to manage our network on a content-agnostic basis, including prioritizing all on-device data over Smartphone Mobile HotSpot (tethering) data and, for the vast majority of Rate Plans, further prioritizing the data usage of a small percentage of heavy data users using more than 50GB of data in a billing cycle, below that of all other customers in times and locations where there are competing customer demands for network resources, for the remainder of the billing cycle.

Long time Xfinity customer here...tired of their horrible service and pricing strategy. Sadly it's monopoly here and faster than LTE. I would love to see how 5G performs.

Still says not available in my area (major city with excellent T-Mobile signal)
How do you know if it's available at your location?

I Checked Availability, dropped a pin on my house, and the next page asks for my contact info and IF it's available they'll contact me.

Looks like a deal. Right now I am with spectrum and paying 65 per month. I am not a heavy data user but at least I dont have to try to threaten to cancel every year just to try to get their 50 promo price for a year.

you have to give them phone and email to even check on availability.... they appear to be building a big database as you have to authorize them to contact you

I wonder if this gets added to your cell bill or is a separate bill.

You'd want to try it out and make sure T-Mobile gets good speeds at your house. It's good if you're in the city but if you're at all rural probably not going to be great speeds/signal.

How do you try it out?

From the FAQ on the site - looks like a big fat NO

No. The T-Mobile Home Internet LTE Wi-Fi Gateway will be geographically locked to your specified home's location so you won't be able to move it from one home to another.

good for those who need to hop in and out of cable/dsl plans and take advantage of the 1 year promo pricing. im lucky that my cancellation threats always come through everytime they try to hike the rates.

If you're presented with that form, it's not available in your area.

It's quite ironic that I actually depend on my current ISP for cell coverage at home... this will be a bummer for me unless they are doing it wired somehow

There are a lot of options instead of getting this "T-Mobile Home Internet"

AT&T Prepaid - Unlimited Data for iPads = $35.00/month with a soft cap of 22GB

AT&T Unlimited Connected Car $30 for standalone and $20 with a plan also with a soft cap of 22GB

AT&T Unlimited Tablet = $20 with Unlimited Plan with soft cap of 22GB

T-Mobile Unlimited Tablet = $20 with autopay with a wireless plan 50GB soft cap.

If you are a light user and will not even hit these soft caps. Even if you hit the soft cap they will just slow you down a little (depends on area). Just buy one of these plans and put the sim into a modem (Dlink US Cellular) or a Mifi and all of these options will work. As long as they are not branded AT&T or T-Mobile devices the network will always think that it is on a tablet.

Example of soft cap: If you get 50mbps originally after you hit the sofr cap you will get 10-15mbps. Coverage and soft caps are always area dependent and remember it depends on what modem/mifi you use too.
