Anecdotally, we've heard of some users seeing download speeds as high as 300Mbps. That's why my CNET colleagues averaged just over 40Mbps download speeds with T-Mobile Home Internet, and some households may get up to just over 100Mbps. The farther the distance, the less speed on the top end.įor T-Mobile to hit the road running with availability to over 30 million households at its launch, it needed to lean on its 4G LTE network and its growing 5G network. In summary: Faster 5G speeds come with shorter ranges. My colleague Eli Blumenthal has thoroughy detailed the basics of 5G and how not all "5G" is the same. The hope and promise of 5G and its capabilities have not yet been fully realized. T-Mobile Home Internet: Shouldn't it be even faster? A short year later, it proclaimed it had expanded its availability to 40 million households, and CNET's Eli Blumenthal gave it a try. By April 2021, T-Mobile announced it had launched its home broadband service nationwide. T-Mobile Home Internet started rolling out as a pilot program early in 2021, and one of my (now former) CNET colleagues, Rick Broida, was one of the first to give it a test run. Just recently, the company made a splash with the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index survey results, which placed it at the top of all nonfiber national internet service providers. At the end of 2022, the Federal Communications Commission included T-Mobile Home Internet as one of only 11 fixed internet providers able to cover over 5% of the US population.
The number of subscribers keeps rising - it's up to over 3 million customers, per the company's first-quarter 2023 report. T-Mobile's got to be feeling pretty pleased about its 5G home internet offering.
