MINTernet 5G Home Internet Now Comes With Less Commitment, But the Same Great Service

There’s never been an issue with Mint Mobile’s 5G Home MINTernet offer . A 12-month Unlimited cellular plan bundled with fast, reliable 5G home internet cost just $45 per month, combined. But just when you thought that was hard if not impossible to improve upon, this limited-time offer arrives: Now through September 30, you can get the same $45 monthly rate for Unlimited cellular and 5G home internet with only a 3-month commitment . The difference comes in the upfront cost — just $135 due at signup instead of the $540 for the 12-month commitment.

Anyone who’s been on the fence about dropping cable internet but was not ready to commit to a full year of 5G home internet service can now dip a toe in the water for just 3 months. The bundle is well-suited to households that are paying a combined cable-and-wireless bill well north of $100 per month and want a consisten price that does not move, without signing over the next 12 months to find out if the speeds hold up. It also makes sense for people who have been on Mint Mobile’s cellular service and already trust the network, but have not yet moved their home internet over. The 3-month window gives both groups a lower-risk entry point than has been available before. Mint offers a 14-day money-back guarantee regardless of which term you choose.

MINTernet runs on T-Mobile’s 5G network, America’s largest 5G network. Setup is an easy one-person task: Mint ships a 5G Gateway device at no equipment charge and no monthly rental fee, and the hardware is designed to be running within minutes of arrival. No technician appointment, no installation window to schedule around, no waiting on a service call to activate what you already paid for. Unlimited data applies to the home plan with no caps and no throttling language in the fine print, which puts it ahead of cable plans that start soft-limiting speeds after a certain usage threshold. The standalone MINTernet plan runs $40/month on its own, and adding the Unlimited phone plan is only $5 more.

The wireless phone line bundled with MINTernet is a Mint Mobile’s premium Unlimited plan, which also runs on T-Mobile’s network. T-Mobile’s 5G network covers more ground than any other carrier in the country, and that footprint matters to anyone who’s ever dealt with the frustration of spotty service that dips out of 5G or drops entirely in the middle of a call. Home internet stays at the address where the gateway lives. The phone plan goes wherever you go, which means coverage isn’t a concern.

The $45 combined price for cellular service and 5G home internet, combined with the speed and quality of the network that handles both, is virtually unbeatable. Cable internet packages at comparable speed tiers typically run $60 to $80 per month on their own, and that number is usually a promotional rate good for 12 months before it resets to a higher figure. Adding a phone line on top of a cable internet bill pushes the typical household’s monthly total well past $100, often higher once fees work through. Mint’s $45 monthly rate does not move once you are locked in, and the equipment is included rather than added as a line item.
