in 57 cities and towns across Texas
Home internet options in Texas are fixin’ to be a whole lot
better. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced expanded access to
its fixed wireless Home Internet service in 57 cities and towns
across the Lone Star State. Nearly a quarter of the Texas homes
with access to T-Mobile Home Internet are in small towns and rural
areas, helping improve access to the Internet, outside of just the
big cities, for everything from education to jobs.

T-Mobile announced expanded access to its
fixed wireless Home Internet service in 57 cities and towns across
Texas. Today, nearly 4 million Texans have either NO access to
traditional home broadband or have only one choice. And in the
middle of the pandemic, the Texas Education Agency estimated that
1.8 million students couldn’t participate in virtual learning
because they didn’t have a broadband connection at home. That’s
unacceptable. (Photo: Business Wire)
Today, nearly 4 million Texans have either NO access to
traditional home broadband or have only one choice. And in the
middle of the pandemic, the Texas Education Agency estimated that
1.8 million students couldn’t participate in virtual learning
because they didn’t have a broadband connection at home. That’s
unacceptable.
For millions of Texans—and more than 30 million households
nationwide—there’s finally a real alternative to traditional
landline ISPs. For places like Brownwood, Mount Pleasant, and
Fredericksburg, towns in Texas where more than a quarter of people
are without any access to traditional home broadband, the expansion
of T-Mobile Home Internet means more families can stay connected to
the classroom, work remotely, and communicate virtually. And for
homes across the state, from small towns to bigger cities, this
expansion means more people can finally ditch traditional ISPs –
the industry ranked dead last in customer satisfaction by ACSI.
T-Mobile recently announced the Big Fee Deal, bringing internet
to millions of homes for just $50/month, period. Landline ISPs have
been having their way for years, adding bogus fees on top of the
monthly rate, every single month. And they’ve gotten away with it.
In 2020 alone, they charged customers more than $9 billion dollars,
just in monthly fees. But T-Mobile Home Internet is different —
there’s no BS or surprises.
- With Home Internet, you get a flat price – it’s $50/month, with
Autopay. That’s it. And no price hikes after the first year. Or
even after the second.
- There’s no added taxes or fees, no equipment costs, no annual
contracts, and no data caps.
- Setup is as easy as it gets — T-Mobile will mail the gateway
directly to your home. Just plug it in, download the app and you’re
connected in less than 15 minutes.
- You get speeds that will let you work, play, stream, chat, game
and more.
- If you do have an issue, our dedicated experts are just a call
or message away.
- And for a limited time, new Home Internet customers get a $50
virtual prepaid card. That’s one month of service ON US!
More than a quarter of Americans reported being worried about
paying their broadband bill during the pandemic. With T-Mobile Home
Internet, you get a flat rate and reliable service — so there’s no
need to worry. And now is a great time to sign up. Customers can
also get $10 off YouTube TV and Philo for one year, Paramount+ On
Us for one year, and Netflix On Us with a qualifying T-Mobile
wireless plan; Apple TV+ on us with Magenta plans for a full year;
AND a free TVision HUB for all new Home Internet customers.
What people are saying:
“I am encouraged to hear about the expansion of T-Mobile Home
Internet - a new option for connectivity in our state," said State
Representative Trent Ashby. "It's unacceptable how few choices my
constituents in rural Texas have for reliable high-speed internet,
but T-Mobile's continued investment to bridge the digital divide is
a huge win that will increase competition and help drive more
affordable options for Texans.”
“Families across our city have been left in the dark throughout
the pandemic,” said Anthony Williams, Mayor of Abilene. “With the
expansion of T-Mobile Home Internet to households in our community,
many of those families will have a new option to stay connected—no
more sitting inside a coffee shop, visiting a library or trying to
make do with only a cellphone—new home internet options mean kids
and parents can now learn and work at home, an option some have
never had.”
“We’re excited for our city to have a new competitive option for
home broadband, especially since T-Mobile already plays such an
important role in our community, through their customer experience
center,” said Dr. Armando O’Caña, Mayor of Mission. “For many of
our residents, especially those in rural areas, staying connected
at home is still a massive challenge, and that’s something that is
no longer suitable in today’s world. T-Mobile’s continued network
investment in Texas is driving increased connectivity across our
region.”
“It’s hard to believe that in 2022 we could have so many homes
without internet access,” said Dow Draper, Executive Vice President
of Emerging Products at T-Mobile. “With the investments we’ve made
in our 5G network, we have the additional capacity needed to
deliver on the full potential of 5G technology and bring home
internet to millions of households across Texas and
nationwide.”
