T-Mobile Caps New Rely 5G Home Internet Speeds at 354 Mbps

3 articles · Updated · Cord Cutters News · Jun 13

Summary

  • New T-Mobile customers on the budget Rely Home Internet plan now face a hard 354 Mbps download cap, marking a shift from the carrier’s earlier practice of avoiding strict speed limits.
  • The cap applies only to new sign-ups on the entry tier; higher-priced Amplified and All-In plans remain uncapped, and existing Rely subscribers keep their current uncapped service for now.
  • A $5 monthly price increase hit all three home internet tiers at the same time, though a matching $5 boost to the autopay discount means eligible customers with a linked postpaid mobile line may see no net change.
  • For most households, 354 Mbps is still enough for multiple 4K streams, gaming and smart-home use, but the move signals a more explicitly tiered fixed-wireless strategy from T-Mobile.
