Which is better, T-Mobile or Verizon home internet?
They tie on price ($35 bundled / ~$50 standalone) and setup. T-Mobile is available in more places (29,681 vs 22,475 ZIP codes per FCC) and offers 5-year price guarantees; Verizon posts higher peak speeds where its Ultra Wideband is strong. The deciding factor is signal quality at your specific address — check both.
Is 5G home internet reliable enough to replace cable?
For most households yes: no contract, no equipment fees, and 100–400 Mbps typical. Speeds do vary with tower congestion, so run each provider’s address check — approval means they have capacity for you.
Can I get T-Mobile or Verizon home internet without a phone plan?
Yes — both sell standalone at roughly $50/mo. The $35 headline price requires a qualifying voice line (any line for T-Mobile; select unlimited plans for Verizon).
