T-Mobile has announced it will launch its T-Mobile Fiber Home Internet services tomorrow (June 5), a couple of months after finalizing its acquisition of Lumos Networks.
In the carrier's announcement yesterday (June 3), T-Mobile said it will launch the service to more than 500,000 households across the US.
The plans include a five-year price guarantee, while there are no monthly equipment fees, installation charges, or annual contracts.
“With the official launch of T-Mobile Fiber, we’re delivering on our promise to bring better broadband to more people,” said Allan Samson, chief broadband officer, T-Mobile.
"Our new plans, backed by long-term price guarantees, are designed to give customers more choice and peace of mind. And, we’re just getting started."
T-Mobile has broken down its fiber offering into three separate plans; Fiber 500 (500mbps), Fiber 1 Gig (1Gbps), and Fiber 2 Gig (2Gbps).
The company has ramped up its fiber push to match rivals AT&T and Verizon. In April, the carrier, along with EQT Infrastructure closed their joint venture (JV) acquisition of fiber provider Lumos.
Lumos operates a 7,500-mile fiber network and provides fiber connectivity to 475,000 homes across the Mid-Atlantic.
As part of the JV, T-Mobile and EQT aim to reach 3.5 million homes by the end of 2028.
T-Mobile has previously said that it will invest $950 million into the JV, with an additional $500m planned between 2027 and 2028.
The carrier said that through strategic fiber partnerships and JV's, it will reach 12 to 15 million households with fiber by the end of 2030.
The company isn't finished there, as it's also poised to close the acquisition of Metronet. T-Mobile CEO Michael Sievert said the carrier expects to "close the deal soon," during T-Mobile's Q1 financial earnings.
Giving Americans a diet full of fiber
Rival carriers AT&T and Verizon have also pushed hard on fiber in the last couple of years.
Last month, AT&T struck an agreement to acquire Lumen's mass-market fiber business for $5.75 billion.
AT&T has previously outlined its fiber ambitions. In December, AT&T CEO John Stankey said the company plans to reach more than 50 million fiber locations by 2029, with the company currently having 29.5 million. Stankey said the carrier will surpass 30 million fiber locations midway through this year.
Regarding its own fiber M&A opportunities, Verizon said last week that it expects to close its $20 billion acquisition of Frontier Communications in early 2026.
