T-Mobile launches $90 5Gbps fiber internet plan

T-Mobile has added a 5 Gbps fiber plan for $90 per month, expanding a service that launched in the United States just over a year ago after the company acquired Lumos. The plan includes a 10-year price guarantee, symmetrical upload and download speeds, and a mesh Wi-Fi extender to improve coverage from the included gateway. The price requires enrollment in AutoPay, and the guarantee excludes items such as taxes and fees, equipment or speed upgrades, certain promotions, third-party services, and per-use charges. New customers can also receive two months of service through bill credits and a $300 virtual prepaid debit card.

The new tier sits above T-Mobile’s 2 Gbps plan at $70 per month, 1 Gbps at $60, and 300 Mbps at $45; all offer symmetrical speeds. Its price compares favorably with Google’s GFiber, which charges $100 monthly for 3 Gbps and $150 for 8 Gbps. T-Mobile’s fiber service had reached about 500,000 customers when it launched, so availability remains a key limitation for households considering the offer. Customers outside its fiber footprint can instead choose the company’s 5G Home Internet service, starting at $50 per month. The higher speed may appeal to demanding users, though many households may not need bandwidth at that level.
