T-Mobile launches broadband service focused on small town America

The system launched last month with more than 30 million households eligible, making T-Mobile one of the largest broadband providers in the country by service area – on its first day of service.

T-Mobile Home Internet now offers fast fixed wireless broadband powered by its 5G network.

The system launched last month with more than 30 million households eligible, making T-Mobile one of the largest broadband providers in the country by service area – on its first day of service.

According to the company, the issue of affordable, reliable broadband is particularly acute in rural America, where a quarter of all households don’t have access to any high-speed broadband, and nearly 40 percent of households that do have access live in areas with only one provider.

T-Mobile said that’s why it made sure nearly 10 million of the households eligible for T-Mobile Home Internet are in rural America, and has plans to continue to expand access.

“Since the beginning of the digital age, connectivity for rural America has been an afterthought,” said T-Mobile Senior Vice President Edwige Robinson. “One of our most important goals is to ensure that small town America is not left behind during the transition to 5G. This is why 5G for All will span across the country – small towns as well as big cities, rural communities as well as the suburbs.”

T-Mobile Home Internet expects average speeds of 100 Mbps for most new customers.

Availability is based on network capacity, which is increasing all the time, as well as Wi-Fi Gateway inventory, which is limited by global supply chain constraints at launch. For more information, go to https://www.t-mobile.com/isp .
