Founded nine years ago with the intent to reimagine the wireless shopping experience, Mint Mobile has its eye on a new prize: reinventing the home internet market with the same buy more, save more model.
On Oct. 15, Mint introduced MINTernet, home internet for as little as $30 a month (powered by T-Mobile’s 5G network), with help from longtime face of the brand (and former owner) Ryan Reynolds. The clever ad stars Reynolds alongside an actual Mint Mobile customer named Natalie “Tilly” Norwood who shares a name with the currently-trending AI-generated actress, Tilly Norwood. The commercial’s goal is to drive home the point that while Mint Mobile’s new $30 internet package may seem “too good to be true,” it is, in fact, true.
Beyond the buy more, save more model (meaning the more months you buy upfront, the more you save), Mint is offering a number of perks to get new and current network users on board.
First, similar to its phone plans, the company is offering the first three months of MINTernet at a new customer introductory rate. This means customers can commit to just three months of MINTernet for the regular monthly rate of a 12-month plan: $30 per month for Home MINTernet/Mint Phone Plan customers, and $40 per month for MINTernet customers without the Mint phone plan. This ties into the next perk: Customers who have a Mint phone plan will save an extra $10 per month on Home MINTernet during both the introductory period and renewal. And since phone plans start at $15 per month, this makes internet service plus a phone plan for new customers just $45 per month.
Following the three-month intro rate, packages can be purchased in 12-month, six-month and three-month increments. For Home MINTernet/Mint Phone Plan holders, the 12-month renewal price is $30 per month, the six-month price is $35 per month and the three-month price is $40 per month. For strictly internet holders, MINTernet comes out to $10 more: $40 per month for 12 months, $45 per month for six months and $50 per month for three months.
