T-Mobile Keeps Hispanic Communities Connected During ISP Outages with Launch of Home Internet Backup

A substantial number of Hispanic households in the U.S. are still without stable broadband access, which can hinder educational, professional, and personal growth. To address this, T-Mobile announces the launch of Home Internet Backup – a dedicated backup internet service that ensures connectivity during ISP outages.

Home Internet Backup is a new plan that will give traditional internet service provider (ISP) customers — like cable and fiber — an affordable, reliable, backup 5G internet connection in case their primary service goes down.

Home Internet Backup from T-Mobile is just $30 a month with AutoPay — and customers that also have an eligible T-Mobile voice line can pick it up for just $20 a month with AutoPay for a limited time — and comes with: 

  • 130 GB of 5G data a month.  Enough to keep a typical household connected with Wi-Fi for up to seven days a month when their primary internet service goes down.  
  • A 5G gateway included at no extra cost. There are NO monthly equipment fees at T-Mobile! Home Internet Backup customers get all the equipment they need, without paying a penny more.
  • Fast and easy setup. Go from box to browsing in 15 minutes or less with a simple self-install process. And when that primary connection goes down, quickly switch over to the T-Mobile Wi-Fi signal for connectivity.  

Home Internet Backup is available in T-Mobile stores and online via chat at www.t-mobile.com/home-internet-backup.

This initiative is particularly crucial for the Hispanic community, where 25% of households lack a broadband connection. By providing a reliable backup, T-Mobile aims to bridge this digital divide and ensure that more families have access to the internet for all their essential needs.
