T-Mobile’s New 5G Internet Offers
T-Mobile has announced a reshuffle of its 5G internet options, introducing a new mid-tier plan and adding a streaming bundle to its most expensive plan. These changes will be effective from December 11th and come with prices that are consistent with the preceding 5G Home Internet options for new T-Mobile customers.
The New Plans and Pricing
The first of these new changes is the T-Mobile Rely Internet plan, which will cost new customers $50 per month. This is the same price that T-Mobile currently charges for its Home Internet Unlimited plan. However, existing T-Mobile customers will need to pay $35 per month, which is $5 more than the current $30 a month promotional offer.
“There are no changes for existing customers on the outgoing plans.” – Katie Brinton, T-Mobile spokesperson
The Rely plan also includes a previous-gen 5G router, unlike its pricier counterparts.
The next plan is the T-Mobile Amplified Internet plan, which comes with a price tag of $60 per month for new customers, or $45 per month with a T-Mobile voice line. This plan includes the latest T-Mobile 5G gateway, with the small business version of the plan throwing in a mesh access point.
The final and most expensive new plan is the T-Mobile All-In plan. This plan includes the latest router and a streaming bundle with ad-supported Hulu and Paramount Plus Essential. New customers will have to pay $70 per month, while existing customers will pay $55 per month.
A Strategy for Growth
These new internet offers, complete with added streaming services, appear to be a key part of T-Mobile’s strategy to continue its growth in the wireless internet category. This comes as wireless carriers in the US are increasingly looking to fixed wireless internet as a way to maximize the use of the 5G spectrum that they’ve acquired.
T-Mobile’s Position in the Market
T-Mobile has been leading the pack in this domain, boasting 6 million wireless internet customers as reported in its October 2024 earnings release. However, its net internet customer additions have seen a year-over-year decrease, which the company attributes to increased deactivations from a growing customer base.
