As a 5G provider piggybacking off a cellular network, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is fairly slow compared to other top internet options. But that doesn’t mean you should discount it. “It’s worked pretty well for me,” says T-Mobile internet customer Rick Francis. “The speeds feel a little up and down sometimes, but it generally does everything I need it to.”

Interestingly, T-Mobile speeds sometimes exceed the advertised numbers, according to data from cities with the fastest T-Mobile 5G Home Internet speeds. This is unusual—most internet providers lag behind their advertised speeds—but valuable. Essentially, some customers find themselves getting faster speeds without paying more. What’s not to love about that?

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is available nearly everywhere in the U.S., which makes it unique—it hits a lot of rural areas with limited internet options. But despite the service’s abundance in sparsely populated locales, it’s also widespread in urban areas. Several of T-Mobile’s fastest cities have populations of 60,000+ (and Belleville is a suburb of Detroit).

California has the fastest T-Mobile connections: Pomona, Corona, Union City, and Georgetown all have T-Mobile 5G Home Internet speeds within range of or above the advertised maximum of 415Mbps.

Of course, not every location with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet has speeds above the norm. But its average speed is 91.19Mbps, which is promising. (The FCC says high-speed internet starts at 100Mbps, so the typical T-Mobile customer speeds are just below that.)

If you have a small household or are in a rural area where your other options are snail-like satellite connections, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet should especially work for you. With T-Mobile’s speeds, you can download an entire football game in just a few minutes.

The Rely Internet plan is typically T-Mobile’s best internet option. For $50 a month, you get up to 318Mbps in download speeds and up to 56Mbps in upload speeds. With Rely, you don’t get the perks of the more expensive plans—like advanced cybersecurity or a free Hulu account—but you have everything you need to get online.

Additionally, T-Mobile has introduced a new 5-year price guarantee that locks in the base price of its internet (or mobile) plans for the next five years. So you can sign up for the Rely Internet plan and secure that sign-up price for the next five years.

Maybe the best news is that T-Mobile has virtually no hidden fees in its internet bill. So enjoy the pricing you sign up for!
