Nuked The prepaid service will carry T-Mobile’s metro branding. Customers will be able to sign up for it at Metro retail locations. This brings a prepaid option to T-Mobile’s $ 50 a month service.
T-Mobile’s router is included in the $ 50 a month (with autopay) price, but with the metro option, you’ll have to pay $ 99 for it upfront. You also have to have’one or more voice lines’ to sign up, which is n’t a requirement for the postpaid option.
You could also see slower Internet speeds if T-Mobile’s network gets busy. You’ll have to pay $ 5 extra a month if you do n’t want to use autopay.
In terms of Internet speeds, equipment, and price, Metro customers will get the same experience as T-Mobile’s postpaid 5G home Internet customers, according to an email sent to the verge by T-Mobile spokesperson Elizabeth seelinger.
T-Mobile’s 5G home Internet does n’t work great for me when I tried it out for a month. T-Mobile’s CEO has mocked it, though it’s easy to imagine some ulterior motives there.
T-Mobile does n’t make you sign a contract or pay activation fees. The $ 100 charge for the gateway that’s locked to T-Mobile’s network makes it much less of a’try it’ transaction.
T-Mobile is providing an option for those who ca n’t pass a credit check or who do n’t want to go through that process. It’s good to see that traditional ISPs are getting some competition.
