Overview
- Reports say T‑Mobile has added an artificial speed cap to its lowest‑cost Rely 5G home internet plan for new customers, with advertised top speeds listed at up to 354 Mbps and an internal label of “Rely Home Internet Capped.”
- The carrier reportedly raised list prices by $5 a month for new subscribers across its three home internet tiers while increasing autopay discounts by $5, which offsets the sticker rise for many new signups.
- Existing T‑Mobile home internet subscribers are reported to be grandfathered and not affected by the newly reported cap or the price adjustments.
- Higher‑tier 5G Home Internet plans are still promoted as uncapped and continue to include perks such as Wi‑Fi 7 routers and video streaming bundles, which shifts product differentiation away from the entry plan.
- The change was identified by The Mobile Report and reported by Android Headlines and has not been independently confirmed by T‑Mobile, a development that raises questions about how carriers disclose speed limits and tiering to new customers.
