Mint Mobile Launches Affordable 5G Home Internet Service
Mint Mobile has introduced a new prepaid 5G home internet plan priced as low as $30 per month, targeting customers who also have a Mint phone plan. To secure this rate, users must pay for a minimum of three months upfront, reports 24brussels.
The 5G Home Minternet service offers speeds ranging from 133 to 415 Mbps and provides unlimited data, mirroring T-Mobile’s 5G home internet capabilities, as both operate on the same network. However, Mint’s data throttling occurs after 1 TB of usage, slightly earlier than T-Mobile’s 1.2 TB threshold. Notably, customers will miss out on certain features available with T-Mobile’s higher-tier plans, such as advanced security options and bundled streaming services.
The pricing structure, however, introduces complexities for potential users. While new customers can access the $30 monthly rate by committing to three months, renewals will increase the rate to $40 per month. Six-month plans cost $35 per month, while maintaining the lowest rate requires a full 12-month upfront payment. Those opting out of a phone plan will face a $10 monthly surcharge, leading to potential total costs of $50 per month.
Despite the pricing intricacies, Mint Mobile’s offering remains appealing due to the absence of contracts and installation requirements, allowing users to bypass technician visits for setup. The plan could be a viable option depending on customer location and specific internet needs.
As the competition for internet services heats up, the launch of affordable 5G internet plans by Mint Mobile signals a growing interest in expanding home connectivity options amid evolving consumer demands for flexibility and convenience.
