T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is a fixed wireless internet service that provides broadband internet to homes. It relies on T-Mobile’s 5G cellular network, the same one that powers your smartphone’s data service.

While T-Mobile’s 5G network is the largest in the nation, not everyone can sign up for T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. The service is mostly limited to cities and suburbs across the country where its 5G network is strong enough to support both home internet and wireless services.

If you can join the network, it offers affordable home internet that can be bundled with a T-Mobile wireless plan for even more savings. The Rely plan bundle will score your home internet service for as cheap as $35/month. Plus, we measured average data speeds around 100Mbps during our T-Mobile 5G Home Internet testing

Check out our guide to see if you live in T-Mobile’s Home Internet coverage area and see which internet plan is best for you.

T-Mobile has the nation’s largest 5G network, but its home internet service is not available everywhere. To maintain its wireless phone service, the carrier can only offer home internet in locations where there is a strong concentration of T-Mobile 5G towers. Even if you see a 5G signal on your smartphone, it may not be strong enough to support home internet.

The good news is that T-Mobile’s 5G home internet map stretches across almost every state (except Alaska). Most cities and suburbs are covered, and there are even some rural areas with access too.

Here are some of the largest cities in the nation with confirmed access to T-Mobile 5G Home Internet:

Can I get T-Mobile 5G home internet where I am?


The only way to determine if you can get T-Mobile 5G Home Internet at your home is visit T-Mobile’s 5G home internet address check.

Remember that even if a T-Mobile home internet zip check says you live in an area with internet availability, you may not be able to sign up. Spaces are limited since T-Mobile can’t overload its wireless towers with internet customers. If all your neighbors have already signed up, T-Mobile may not be able to take you on as a customer just yet.

If you find you can’t sign up for T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, you still have other options. All the major carriers have 5G internet plans now, so you may find another 5G home internet provider nearby, like AT&T or Verizon.

You may also find you can get service through a fiber, cable, or satellite connection. Check out our internet plans page to enter your address and see what internet service providers offer plans in your area.

How does 5G internet work?

5G internet uses a wireless company's 5G mobile data network to provide broadband home internet. It’s considered a fixed wireless service, which is when internet service is delivered wirelessly using radio waves sent from a fixed location, in this case, a 5G cell phone tower. Think of it as essentially a more advanced version of a smartphone’s mobile hotspot.

Check out our 5G home internet guide to learn more about how this technology works.

T-Mobile 5G home internet plans


For customers who can hop on T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet, the carrier offers three plans:

  • Rely Internet for $50/month
  • Amplified Internet for $60/month
  • All-In Internet for $70/month

If you bundle these plans with a T-Mobile wireless phone plan, you can also score a $15/month discount on your internet service.

All the plans include unlimited data and a free gateway router. T-Mobile’s 5G home internet speeds are fairly similar across all three plans. The Rely plan’s average speeds are 133–415Mbps, while the Amplified and All-In plans' average speeds are slightly faster at 170–498Mbps. Your actual speed will depend on how close you are to the nearest 5G tower.

The other big difference between each plan is extra perks. The Amplified and All-In plans include features like better gateway routers and streaming perks, making them more expensive. Most customers can get by just fine on the cheaper Rely plan.

Why can I get T-Mobile 5G on my phone but not for my home?

Where is T-Mobile 5G home internet available?

T-Mobile 5G home internet is available in major cities and suburbs across the United States. You must check your address with T-Mobile to see if it's available at your home.

What is the difference between T-Mobile fixed and AWAY internet?

T-Mobile's fixed 5G home internet is designed to be used in one location. T-Mobile AWAY Internet is designed for travelers who need a mobile internet connection, like RVers and digital nomads.

Can I take my T-Mobile 5G Home Internet anywhere?

No, you can't take T-Mobile 5G Home Internet anywhere. The service is tied to your home address and cannot be relocated. If you need mobile internet, look into the T-Mobile AWAY plans.
