T-Mobile quietly rolls out fiber-optic home internet service in select markets

Good news to all T-Mobile customers! It appears that T-Mobile has started offering fixed fiber optic connections in some markets. First on her list to get fiber optic home internet is Manhattan, New York City.

According to a report, T-Mo has started selling the service in a number of Manhattan apartment buildings. At the time of this writing, only one plan is offered: a 940 Mbps symmetrical fiber that comes with a set of eero Pro 6 routers. T-Mo’s website states that this service plan will be available at “A monthly package” but there is no mention of what that rate will be again.

While we’ve only heard of T-Mo’s fiber-optic home internet service now, the company has been quietly working to make it available for some time now. In fact, they have already created a dedicated page for the service. There is even a Faq which gives answers to certain answers.

But T-Mo has yet to publicly announce the service. According to another report, the link to the website is currently only shared with potential customers in the region. And if you have any questions about the service, you can chat and email their customer service team.

This report suggests that T-Mobile use fiber lines from Pilot Fiber. Evidence of this possible case is that Pilot Fiber’s residential service website is now redirected to T-Mobile’s Fiber landing page instead of its getpilot.com site. And judging from the prices offered on Pilot Fiber’s home internet service, customers paid $ 60 / month with the eero Pro 6 router. This may be the same price for the new fiber home internet service. T-Mo optics.

Since the service appears to be still in its early stages, there are not too many active customers on the service yet. But then, it is possible that the current customers of the service are former home Internet users of Pilot Fiber.

It sounds like a pretty bold and ambitious move for T-Mobile. A report says T-Mobile hopes to be known as “an ISP that also has cellular service.” It’s interesting to see how T-Mobile will evolve with this goal in mind. But knowing T-Mobile, anything is possible.
