Need much faster home internet for your house? T-Mobile just announced a massive new broadband option for people who want serious speed. The company is now offering a five gigabit fiber connection priced at ninety dollars a month. That price comes with a major perk attached. If you sign up for the service now, the carrier promises your monthly rate will not increase for ten full years.

The company offers multiple internet speeds to fit your home

The new five gigabit tier is built for households pushing heavy amounts of data. This means multiple people can game online, work from home, and run smart devices all at the same time without hitting a bottleneck. Because the connection uses true fiber optic lines straight to your house, it delivers symmetrical performance. Your upload speeds will completely match your download speeds. This helps a lot when you use video calls, security cameras, or cloud backup tools.

If five gigabits is more speed than you need, T-Mobile offers other choices. Here are the four fiber options available right now:

  • 300 megabits per second for $35 a month
  • 1 gigabit per second for $55 a month
  • 2 gigabits per second for $70 a month
  • 5 gigabits per second for $90 a month

All these monthly rates require you to set up autopay billing, and they do not include taxes or extra fees. The carrier is throwing in a few limited time incentives to get people to switch. New customers can get bill credits that add up to two free months of service. You can also claim $300 in virtual prepaid cards as long as you keep the internet active for the first year.

You should always read the fine print on long term promises. The ten year price lock applies only to your base service cost. If you decide to voluntarily upgrade your equipment or jump to a faster speed tier down the road, you will lose that locked rate. Taxes and other fees can still go up over time. You can check the carrier website to see if the fiber service is available in your neighborhood.
