T-Mobile launches 5-gigabit fiber for $90/mo with 10-year price guarantee

T-Mobile has launched a new 5 gigabit fiber broadband service, priced at $90 per month, effective immediately. The company has committed to maintaining this rate for the next ten years, barring any changes in taxes, fees, voluntary equipment or speed upgrades, select limited-time promotions, per-use charges, third-party services, or network management practices.

The company currently offers four home broadband plans with fiber connections. For a limited time, new customers can also receive bill credits equivalent to two months free, and $300 in virtual prepaid cards, provided they do not cancel within the first year.

T-Mobile's fastest service, "5 Gig," is designed for households with high bandwidth needs, supporting multiple people and devices online simultaneously. This includes gaming, work, and the increasing number of smart home devices. The service is delivered through a 100% fiber-optic connection to the home, resulting in symmetrical speeds, meaning upload speeds are just as fast as download speeds. This is crucial, as many activities such as video calls, security cameras, and cloud backups require fast upload speeds.

Andre Almeida, T-Mobile's chief commercial officer, highlighted the growing online activities in households, stating that the 5 Gig plan provides customers with remarkable capacity for all their online needs today, with room for future growth. However, it's important to note that the price guarantee does not cover any changes in broadband speeds over time, as upgrades to a faster service in the future would invalidate the guarantee. Availability of the service can be checked on T-Mobile's website.
