Mint Mobile just took the wraps off MINTernet — a 5G home internet option aimed squarely at people tired of rising broadband bills and cable bundles. The new offering promises plug-and-play setup, no monthly equipment fees, and introductory pricing that undercuts many traditional ISPs — all running on T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G network.
Last month, the company ran promotional spots to build awareness ahead of the formal rollout. The move into home internet expands another major mobile brand, using its existing 5G networks to compete with cable and fiber. Oftentimes, these companies can undercut long-standing ISPs on price and simplicity. If you’re shopping for alternatives to cable or DSL, MINTernet gives you a low-cost option to test 5G home internet without long-term hardware contracts.
“People are sick of internet companies treating them like human ATMs,” said Scott Venuti, GM of Home MINTernet at Mint Mobile. “So we did what Mint does best: we made it fast, fair and affordable. Plus, ours is simple to set up and, in most instances, can be set up in under 15 minutes, which is probably faster than your current internet company answers the phone.”

How Much is Mint Mobile 5G Home Internet (MINTernet)
At launch, there’s an introductory deal that brings the price as low as $30/month for the first three months when bundled with a Mint phone plan (that requires an upfront payment and Auto-Renew). Without a Mint phone plan, the introductory price is approximately $40/month (also prepaid). After the intro period, customers can choose different renewal lengths (3, 6, or 12 months), including a 12-month renewal that can lock in the lower rate. Taxes and fees extra, and terms and conditions apply.
