How 5G internet differs from cable internet.

While cable internet relies on wired connections, T-Mobile Home Internet uses the power of over-the-air 5G to provide reliable connectivity where wires can’t reach.

How our 5G gateway works.

T-Mobile’s 5G network is built on a series of cell sites that use radio waves to send and receive data. Your gateway converts the nearest 5G signal into Wi-Fi, allowing you to access the internet wirelessly.

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet has a price and speed that won’t slow you down—averaging 170 Mbps.
