T-Mobile is taking a bold new step into 5G home internet with a new program that will make it easier for broadband customers to break up with Big Internet.
T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert unveiled the carrier's new initiative, which he hopes will fix the broken broadband.
Sievert said that the Un-carrier was created to fix a broken wireless industry.
T-Mobile's Internet Freedom will allow potential customers to try out fixed wireless 5G broadband without leaving their current broadband provider.
You will be able to try the company's 5G home internet for 15 days with no obligation. Since no wires are involved, you can keep your current provider hooked up. Nothing needs to change if things don't work out.
T-Mobile is so confident in its ability to win people over that it is willing to cover up to $500 in early termination fees to help ease the transition to its 5G home internet service.
The pricing games common to many other wired broadband providers will not be played by T-Mobile. The company said that internet providers raise their prices more than 30% on average.
Pricing for T-Mobile's 5G home internet will be locked in at $50 per month for as long as you are a customer.
T-Mobile is treating its 5G Home Internet just like another line on its Magenta Max family plan, so users who already subscribe to T-Mobile's wireless phone services can get home internet for only $30 per month.
T-Mobile will be giving incentives to broadband customers. T-Mobile will offer a $50 discount on any streaming device starting next Tuesday, May 10, making it even easier for people to ditch their internet and TV bundles.
