T-Mobile 5G Home Internet Coverage and Availability

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is available in every U.S. state except Alaska, although its coverage across the Western states has some notable gaps. According to federal maps and Reviews.org’s own proprietary data, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is most widely available in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. 

T-Mobile's internet offerings are consistent across all service areas—that's because T-Mobile internet uses the nationwide T-Mobile cellular network. The plans and prices are the same whether you’re in Rhode Island, Georgia, Montana, or Arizona.

Here are the ten largest cities in the United States where T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is available.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is in high demand, with over a million customers on its waitlist, according to T-Mobile Consumer Group President Jon Freier during the USB TMT Summit in December. T-Mobile can’t quite meet growing demand for its internet service because there are some dead spots in its coverage and also it has limited bandwidth to serve internet-only customers on a cellular network built primarily for mobile phone users.

To scale up for additional customers and add fiber to its internet roster, T-Mobile is working out a deal to acquire internet brands Metronet and Lumos.

T-Mobile is also potentially expanding its internet service by partnering with Starlink. Through the help of Starlink satellite signals sent directly from space, T-Mobile cellular customers can now receive service in former dead zones with no cell towers. Since T-Mobile internet uses the same cellular network as T-Mobile cell phones, this wider network coverage could mean increased internet access for millions of customers.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet not only is the most widely available 5G internet provider for customers across the country, but it’s also the best deal. T-Mobile offers three different plans that are all low cost with no extra fees for equipment or installation. Customers can also get discounts when they bundle their service with T-Mobile phone plans.

No T-Mobile internet plan exceeds speeds of 245Mbps. Although 245Mbps is a little slower than what I usually recommend for home internet service, customers say the 5G service is fast enough to “get the job done.”

T-Mobile also has a portable AWAY service, similar to Starlink Mini, that you can take on the road with you, which starts at $110 a month.

Not many internet options are as widely available as T-Mobile 5G Home Internet. As a provider that encompasses both big cities and rural areas, its best coverage competitors are satellite internet providers Starlink, Viasat, and Hughesnet.

But in its massive coverage area, T-Mobile 5G also bumps up against other, non-satellite providers, like cable options Xfinity and Spectrum, fiber provider Verizon Fios, and direct 5G competitor Verizon 5G.
