MINTernet 5G Home Internet Now Comes With Less Commitment, But the Same Great Service
There’s never been an issue with Mint Mobile’s 5G Home MINTernet offer. A 12-month Unlimited cellular plan bundled with fast, reliable 5G home internet cost just $45 per month, combined. But just when you thought that was hard if not impossible to improve upon, this limited-time offer arrives: Now through September 30, you can get the same $45 monthly rate for Unlimited cellular and 5G home internet with only a 3-month commitment. The difference comes in the upfront cost — just $135 due at signup instead of the $540 for the 12-month commitment.
Anyone who’s been on the fence about dropping cable internet but was not ready to commit to a full year of 5G home internet service can now dip a toe in the water for just 3 months. The bundle is well-suited to households that are paying a combined cable-and-wireless bill well north of $100 per month and want a consisten price that does not move, without signing over the next 12 months to find out if the speeds hold up. It also makes sense for people who have been on Mint Mobile’s cellular service and already trust the network, but have not yet moved their home internet over. The 3-month window gives both groups a lower-risk entry point than has been available before. Mint offers a 14-day money-back guarantee regardless of which term you choose.

Huge Network, Tiny Install Job
MINTernet runs on T-Mobile’s 5G network, America’s largest 5G network. Setup is an easy one-person task: Mint ships a 5G Gateway device at no equipment charge and no monthly rental fee, and the hardware is designed to be running within minutes of arrival. No technician appointment, no installation window to schedule around, no waiting on a service call to activate what you already paid for. Unlimited data applies to the home plan with no caps and no throttling language in the fine print, which puts it ahead of cable plans that start soft-limiting speeds after a certain usage threshold. The standalone MINTernet plan runs $40/month on its own, and adding the Unlimited phone plan is only $5 more.
The wireless phone line bundled with MINTernet is a Mint Mobile’s premium Unlimited plan, which also runs on T-Mobile’s network. T-Mobile’s 5G network covers more ground than any other carrier in the country, and that footprint matters to anyone who’s ever dealt with the frustration of spotty service that dips out of 5G or drops entirely in the middle of a call. Home internet stays at the address where the gateway lives. The phone plan goes wherever you go, which means coverage isn’t a concern.
The $45 combined price for cellular service and 5G home internet, combined with the speed and quality of the network that handles both, is virtually unbeatable. Cable internet packages at comparable speed tiers typically run $60 to $80 per month on their own, and that number is usually a promotional rate good for 12 months before it resets to a higher figure. Adding a phone line on top of a cable internet bill pushes the typical household’s monthly total well past $100, often higher once fees work through. Mint’s $45 monthly rate does not move once you are locked in, and the equipment is included rather than added as a line item. The savings compound over time with amazing speed, especially when you prepay at signup and have no bill at all for the next 2, 5, or 11 months, depending on which length of commitment you choose.
Six-Month Deals Also On the Table
The 3-month path to that rate is the limited-time piece. Six-month terms are also available at the same $45/month bundle rate through September 30, for anyone who wants to cut it in the middle. Both options exist thanks to Mint Mobile’s current $15/month phone plan promotion makes shorter commitments viable; once that promotion closes at the end of September, the bundle reverts to requiring a 12-month phone plan and the full $540 upfront. The rate does not change, but the flexibility does.
Mint has earned a stellar reputation as a value carrier since its launch, and MINTernet extends that positioning into home internet with the same approach: fewer fees, straightforward pricing, and no promotional rate that quietly resets after the first year. The brand runs on T-Mobile’s network without any hidden markup, which is the how the bundle price is able to land where it does. That is the part of the offer worth understanding before the promotion ends: The $45/month rate is a lock, not a teaser, but the 3- and 6-month commitment window will be closing after September 30.
