As a result of the pandemic, remote working and learning has increased dramatically, driving data consumption and broadband usage to an all-time high. In 2020, the pandemic led to a 51% spike in broadband traffic, and in 2021 traffic jumped again, up 11% from 2020. And virtual experiences are set to continue for years to come . By 2025, an estimated 36.2 million workers, or 22% of Americans, will be working remotely, an 87% increase from pre-pandemic levels. This change has made access to reliable home broadband even more crucial than it was before the pandemic.

But access is not the only problem. For those with home broadband, they’ve probably been stuck with fixed ISPs, which are notorious for things like terrible customer service, skyrocketing bills after the first year, and monthly fees for everything and everything. anything. In 2020 alone, ISPs charged customers over $9 billion in additional fees alone. It’s crazy. And T-Mobile is tackling it head-on.

T-Mobile Home Internet is different. It’s a new alternative to traditional home broadband, and it’s available to more than 30 million homes nationwide. It builds on T-Mobile’s core 5G network and leaves behind old-school ISP tactics like annual contracts, monthly fees, and bombastic promotions. And now it’s available to millions more in the South.

what people say

“We are thrilled that our state has a competitive new option for home broadband with T-Mobile Home Internet,” said Alabama Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth. “For many of our residents, especially those in rural areas, there are still too few options to stay connected, and this is something that is no longer acceptable in today’s world. T-Mobile’s continued investment in the network in Alabama is a huge win.

“Families in our state have been left in the dark throughout the pandemic,” said Louisiana House Speaker Clay Schexnayder. “With the expansion of T-Mobile Home Internet to households in these communities, many of these families will have a new option for staying connected – no more sitting in a coffee shop, visiting a library, or trying to make do a mobile phone – New home internet options mean that children and parents can now learn and work from home, an option some never had.

“As T-Mobile rolls out its new home broadband service in cities across Mississippi, including the Central District municipalities of Cleveland, Greenville, and Vicksburg, they’re using their technology to bring additional options and faster Internet to people. thousands more homes across the state,” said Mississippi Central District Civil Service Commissioner Brent Bailey. “We are thrilled that T-Mobile’s investments and efforts are paying off for our communities, bringing a new broadband option to homes that need fast, reliable and affordable Internet access more than ever.”

“Thousands of more homes now have access to fast, unlimited high-speed Internet access, thanks to T-Mobile,” said Bradley Jackson, president and CEO of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “T-Mobile Home Internet has expanded access in Tennessee, giving our state a truly competitive option for wireless home broadband, where many households are still left with no option or no good option. T-Mobile’s investment in our communities helps thousands of customers stay connected when it matters most. »

“We launched T-Mobile Home Internet just over a year ago, and already we’ve completely disrupted the home broadband industry. We provide fast, reliable 5G home internet access to more than 30 million homes across the country. And in the fourth quarter of last year, we were the fastest growing broadband provider in the United States. It’s amazing,” said Mike Katz, chief marketing officer at T-Mobile. “Today, we are once again extending home internet access, now to 3 million more homes in the South. 5G is truly breaking through the digital divide, bringing choice and competition to places that never had it before.
