Mint Mobile Launches $45 Bundle Of Home And Mobile 5G Broadband

T-Mobile’s Mint Mobile prepaid brand has a new discount for customers who aren’t concerned about commitment: 5G broadband for a home and a phone for $45 a month as long as you pay for a year of it up-front, at $540 total.

This “‘Unf*! Your Bills’ bundle (we said fox)” bundle announced Tuesday evokes the OneConnect bundle that AT&T introduced last week. But the Minternet home 5G that Mint began reselling in October is much slower than the fiber broadband in AT&T’s offering, which starts at $90 a month, taxes and fees included, for that fixed connection coupled with wireless service for one phone and up to three wearables and tablets.

To offset speeds that Mint’s broadband-facts labels estimate at 133 to 415Mbps for downloads and 12 to 55Mbps for uploads, Mint’s combination is vastly cheaper than AT&T’s, even after you add in the taxes and fees not included in that advertised rate. This $45 rate is also covered by a five-year rate-lock guarantee, although that itself excludes taxes and fees.

Unlike AT&T, Mint isn’t leaving would-be customers guessing what wireless plan they’ll get. This bundle includes the “premium unlimited” option, which tops Mint’s menu of plans and allocates 20GB of mobile hotspot usage. You can add a second mobile line to this bundle for $15 a month.

The fine print for Mint’s bundle notes the possibility of slower speeds if T-Mobile’s network slows and a wireless user has used more than 50GB of data in a month; on Minternet, that threshold is 1TB. Searches of Reddit’s r/mintmobile on Tuesday for complaints about that only surfaced gripes about iffy performance, apparently disconnected from that usage threshold.

Fixed-wireless home services like Minternet and the T-Mobile Home 5G that it’s based on have proved exceedingly popular with customers despite the risk of slower connections because they assure lower prices, especially compared with cable ISPs that have historically stuck subscribers with strict data caps.

Mint’s messaging for its bundle emphasizes that comparison with cable, including a YouTube clip featuring actor Ryan Reynolds (a Mint co-owner until T-Mobile bought the company in 2024) hamming it up with neatness advocate Marie Kondo about how people should sweep “big cable bills” out of their lives. Kondo agrees, saying in Japanese that “savings spark joy!” before suggesting that Reynolds’ vibrant jacket does not meet that standard.

Unstated in the video and the rest of Mint’s promotion: This bundled rate also undercuts T-Mobile’s home 5G rates—starting at $50 standalone, or $35 with a T-Mobile voice line—by a tidy margin.
