Gone are the days of waiting for your internet device to be delivered and installed by a technician.

Powered by DoorDash, T-Mobile now delivers its 5G Home Internet gateway device to your door the same day you sign up. That means no hours-long appointment windows waiting for a technician to come into your home. Simply order through the T-Life app or on their website, pick a delivery window, and your gateway router will be delivered directly to your door. Best of all, you can track your 5G gateway in real-time at no additional cost for eligible customers.

Once the gateway arrives, it’ll take about 15 minutes between delivery and browsing the internet. Setup is easy for almost anyone, since T-Mobile’s gateway only requires one cord.

Anyone who has switched home internet carriers knows how inconvenient it can be to wait for a technician or make the trek to a provider’s brick-and-mortar location. Plus, this same-day delivery is paired with a worry-free 15-day test drive.* That means you have two weeks to make sure the wireless signal and hardware work at your address.

The underlying product is T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, which runs on T-Mobile’s wireless network rather than a cable or fiber line. The gateway device combines a modem and router, converting 5G signal to Wi-Fi throughout your home. T-Mobile offers three tiers: Rely, Amplified, and All-In. Download speeds range up to 415 Mbps on Rely and up to 498 Mbps on the higher tiers. According to the experts at Ookla Speedtest, T-Mobile holds the ranking for fastest 5G home internet.** Pricing is also guaranteed to stay the same for five years,*** with no annual contracts and no equipment fees.

The All-In tier adds some noteworthy extras: advanced cybersecurity, 24/7 interactive live video support, and Hulu with Ads and Paramount+ Essential included.

T-Mobile also offers an “escape hatch” for customers locked into internet contracts: switch your home internet to T-Mobile, and the company will pay off your early termination fee, up to $750.***
