Mint Mobile is trying something a bit less \u201cmobile\u201d with its new prepaid 5G home internet plan<\/a> that goes for as little as $30 a month<\/a>. To get that price, you will need to also have a Mint phone plan and pay for at least three months up front. But it\u2019s still one of the cheapest 5G at home plans out there even if you can\u2019t lock in the lowest price.<\/p>\n

5G Home Minternet (yes, that is what they\u2019re calling it) delivers the same speeds \u2014 typically between 133-415 Mbps down \u2014 and unlimited data as T-Mobile\u2019s 5G home internet, which is unsurprising seeing as how they run on the same network. The difference is that throttling during periods of network congestion kicks in after 1 TB of data on Mint, but after 1.2 TB on T-Mobile. You\u2019ll also miss out on some perks like advanced security features<\/a> or bundled streaming services<\/a> that are included in the more expensive T-Mobile plans, but that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the pricing structure is a bit of a mess. If you have a Mint phone plan and pay for three months of service, it will cost you $30 a month. But that price is only for new customers, and renewing for three more will cost you $40 a month. If you opt for a six month plan, it will set you back $35 a month. You\u2019ll have to pay for 12 months up front to maintain the $30 per month pricing.<\/p>\n

The service costs $10 more per month if you\u2019re skipping a phone plan and only getting home internet. Which means this supposedly $30 a month 5G home internet could actually end up costing you $50 per month depending on how you sign up. Still, with no contracts and no need to have a technician come and drill holes in your walls, it might be a decent option<\/a>depending on where you live<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mint Mobile is trying something a bit less \u201cmobile\u201d with its new prepaid 5G home internet plan that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[3688,1638,2306,50,227,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-202213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-5g","9":"tag-internet","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-tech","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
