Summary
- T-Mobile now offers Fiber Home Internet plans with 5-year price locks, starting at 500Mbps for $75 per month.
- A limited-time Founder’s Club deal offers 2Gbps for $70/month and comes with a 10-year price lock.
- You don’t need to be an existing T-Mobile customer to take advantage of the special offer, although once it’s over, also having the carrier’s voice service will cut $15 off your internet bill.
T-Mobile has been on a bit of a spree lately. It recently introduced new mobile plans with 5-year price locks to try and sway customers fleeing competitors like Verizon, on top of periodic free line giveaways. It also acquired the physical networking services of fiber providers MetroNet last year, and Lumos more recently.
While the endgame was always clearly to offer its own fiber subscription, those plans are now set to go live. Starting June 5, you’ll be able to purchase a Home Fiber Internet plan from the leading US carrier. For a limited time, you can make certain you always have the bandwidth you need and don’t see any major price increases for a decade, too, thanks to the enticing (and limited-time-only) Founder’s Club deal.

Standard pricing for T-Mobile Fiber Home Internet plans is split into three tiers: 500Mbps, 1Gbps, and 2Gbps speeds for $75, $90, and 105 per month, respectively. You can save $15 monthly with each plan if you also have T-Mobile voice service. The upper two tiers include a Wi-Fi mesh system, but otherwise, the feature sets are the same. All three include the 5-year price lock T-Mobile’s been all about lately, although keep in mind that may not apply to future fees outside the plan’s exact cost.
But the most interesting part of the launch isn’t just that it’s happening. For a short time, you can get the top tier — that’s a whopping 2Gbps bandwidth — for $70 less than the lowest tier’s sticker price. You don’t even need a T-Mobile voice line. Plus, the Founder’s Club offer comes with a decade-long price lock, something we’ve never heard of on a contract like this.
If you’re currently in the market for wired internet at home, T-Mobile’s upstart fiber network is impossible to beat as long as the Founder’s Club is accepting members. If you’re not married to your existing ISP, it’s such a great price for so much speed that it’s worth considering a switch. Because home internet plans don’t get much more reasonable than one with 10 years locked into a good price, and providing more bandwidth than most people could possibly utilize.
