T-Mobile’s 5G home internet service is now finally official

t mobile 5g home internet.

T-Mobile is finally -- and officially -- getting into the home internet game. The company has been testing its home internet service for a while now, but now it's moving out of that phase and launching its service to the public.

According to T-Mobile, 30 million households are now eligible to sign up for the service, and 10 million of those households are in rural areas. Pricing on the service sits at $60 with auto pay or $65 without. There are no fees for equipment rental, and T-Mobile says that customers will install their own equipment -- which should be easier than cable-based internet services.

T-Mobile’s Home Office Internet service brings 5G to businesses nationwide

T-Mobile is getting more serious about internet services beyond phones -- and it's all on the back of its nationwide 5G network. The company has announced a new wireless Home Office Internet service, and it's built specifically to "give remote employees the bandwidth and security needed to get work done."

The new product is one of three services that are bundled into what T-Mobile calls "T-Mobile WFX" and is for enterprise customers -- so it's not necessarily for those looking for a replacement to their wired home internet service just yet. People who sign up for the service will get a router that they can install themselves and that basically converts 5G or LTE signals to Wi-Fi for the surrounding area.
