T-Mobile’s most affordable 5G home internet plan has been hit with an artificial speed cap. We’re talking about the Rely Home Internet plan, which has been updated to include a new artificial cap on data speeds for new subscribers. Simultaneously, the prices of the 5G Home Internet plans have also increased.
T-Mobile has reportedly added an artificial speed cap to the Rely 5G home internet plan
As spotted by The Mobile Report, T-Mobile’s Rely Home Internet plan previously advertised as offering download speeds in a typical range of 170 to 498 mbps based on your location. However, it now reportedly offers speeds up to 354 mbps. This will apply to all new customers. The report notes that the plan now carries the internal name “Rely Home Internet Capped.”
Before the change, all T-Mobile’s 5G home internet plans offered the same speed range, with higher tiers offering extra perks like Wi-Fi 7 routers and video streaming bundles. Now, those perks remain on the more expensive plans, which are now also promoted as coming without speed caps.
There’s a price change
T-Mobile has also quietly increased the price of all three 5G Home Internet plans by $5 per month for new subscribers. However, the autopay discounts have also gone up by $5, effectively cancelling out the price change for most new subscribers. They’ll be paying the same price, technically. Again, these new changes don’t affect existing subscribers. If you’re already on T-Mobile’s Rely plan, you have nothing to worry about. This only impacts new customers.
Separately, the carrier is marking 10 years of T-Mobile Tuesdays by launching “Member Month” this June. It has announced a bunch of freebies and discounts, turning it into a broader loyalty platform. The perks include Delta premium in-flight drinks and a free one-year subscription to DashPass by DoorDash. Then there’s up to 50 cents off per gallon of gas at Shell stations.
