There’s a certain satisfaction in telling your internet provider, “it’s not me, it’s you.” T-Mobile, of all companies, just made that breakup a little sweeter — $300 sweeter, to be exact. If you sign up for the All-In 5G Home Internet plan, the carrier will send you $300 on a virtual prepaid Mastercard. That’s actual spending money, not some vague “bill credit” you’ll forget about. The plan itself runs $55 a month, which is on par with a lot of entry-level broadband packages, but the extras are where it starts to feel like a long-term relationship worth having.
The Offer in Plain English
You get download speeds up to 400 Mbps, a five-year price lock (a rarity in this business), and the option to knock a few more dollars off with AutoPay. And then there’s the entertainment kicker — Hulu and Paramount+ included. Together, those cost around $18 per month if you were paying separately. T-Mobile says you’ll keep those streaming perks as long as your account stays in good standing. In other words, no sudden “trial expired” emails after 90 days.
Oh, and They’ll Cover Your Breakup Fees Too
Here’s the part that made me raise an eyebrow: apart from these 300$, if your current ISP tries to hit you with early termination fees, T-Mobile will pay them off — up to $750, also via a prepaid card. That’s… not a small gesture. It’s worth noting that you’ll need to check whether T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is actually available at your address. (The sign-up page has a quick lookup tool; I tried it myself and learned my apartment’s still out of range — frustrating, but not unexpected.)
Why This Might Be the Right Moment
Internet deals like this tend to surface in bursts — often when providers are looking to grab market share in the middle of the year, before the big holiday sales push. Maybe you’re fine with your current provider. Maybe you’re not. I’ve personally spent more than one afternoon tethered to my phone because home internet mysteriously died, so the idea of a wireless-based setup has its appeal.
The pitch is simple: same or better speed, no annual price hikes, and a pile of perks — plus a check that’s big enough to buy, say, a decent tablet or cover a couple months’ groceries. Whether that’s enough to convince you to switch… well, that’s between you and your patience level with your current provider.
