T-Mobile has transitioned from trial to full commercial launch of its fiber-based home internet service, marking a significant expansion beyond its existing 5G cellular broadband offerings. The move comes after the wireless carrier's strategic acquisition of Lumos, a major fiber internet provider, which has enabled T-Mobile to serve over 500,000 households nationwide with dedicated fiber connections.
Service Coverage and Expansion Timeline
- Current Coverage: Over 500,000 households across the United States
- Target Coverage by 2030: 12-15 million households
- Key Acquisitions: Lumos (completed April 2024), Metronet (pending)
- Launch Date: June 5, 2024
- Current Market Position: 5th largest broadband provider in the U.S.
Service Launch and Coverage Expansion
The official launch of T-Mobile Fiber Home Internet represents the company's ambitious push into the traditional broadband market. Following the completion of its Lumos acquisition in April, T-Mobile has leveraged the existing fiber infrastructure to rapidly scale its service availability. The company projects aggressive growth, aiming to reach between 12 to 15 million households by the end of 2030 through continued acquisitions and partnerships, including the pending Metronet acquisition.
Comprehensive Plan Structure with Competitive Pricing
T-Mobile has structured its fiber offerings across four distinct tiers to accommodate different household needs and usage patterns. The entry-level Fiber 500 plan delivers symmetrical speeds of 500 Mbps for USD 75 monthly with autopay, dropping to USD 60 for customers who maintain a T-Mobile voice line. The mid-tier Fiber 1 Gig option provides 1 Gbps speeds for USD 90 monthly, or USD 75 with a voice line discount. The premium Fiber 2 Gig plan offers maximum speeds of 2 Gbps for USD 105 monthly, reduced to USD 90 for voice line customers.
