T-Mobile\u2019s big home internet push<\/a> continues, now with a new way to sign up for the service: as a backup option. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The company is offering a new Home Internet Backup plan<\/a> starting at $30 per month (including an autopay discount) that\u2019s designed to supplement your cable or fiber internet connection in the event of an outage. Seems handy if your internet is down a lot! But it also seems like overkill for most people, especially considering that most of T-Mobile\u2019s phone plans already come with plenty of mobile hotspot data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Like T-Mobile\u2019s standard home internet service<\/a>, the backup plan comes with a gateway router that connects to T-Mobile\u2019s cellular data network. The backup internet plan comes with up to 130GB of 5G data each month, which T-Mobile\u2019s website says is \u201cenough to keep a typical household connected with Wi-Fi for up to seven days a month.\u201d Depending on your primary router, you could set up T-Mobile Wi-Fi as an automatic fallback option when your main internet connection goes down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Useful for sure \u2014 but probably only appealing to a small demographic. Switching to a phone hotspot when the internet goes down isn\u2019t a huge burden for most people, and even T-Mobile\u2019s basic Essentials plan comes with some<\/em> hotspot data. If all you want to do is stay connected, you\u2019ve already got options. But if your primary internet goes down a lot<\/em> and you need a more robust connection than a phone hotspot provides, maybe $30 per month is worth it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

T-Mobile\u2019s Home Internet Backup plan will be available for sale starting tomorrow, June 6th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
