Update (Nov. 14, 2024, 5:25 am EST): T-Mobile officially revealed more information about its internet backup plans. We have updated the article below to reflect the official announcement.

Outages may not happen often, but they are nonetheless equally annoying for customers that rely on their internet service provider (ISP) for connectivity. Luckily, T-Mobile has a way to make sure households and small business stay connected during these times. 

As shared by PhoneArena, T-Mobile customers with a cable or fiber connection are getting extra data at no extra cost. These customers will continue to have backup 5G internet connection to stay connected during times of an internet outage. T-Mobile customers have access to this through the T-Mobile Home Internet Backup and Small Business Internet Backup plans that cost $20 per month with AutoPay. The plan already includes 130GB of data. 

All T-Mobile backup internet customers will receive three free data passes every year starting November 14. These data passes come with an extra 130GB of data to hook you up when your Wi-Fi goes down. Each pass lasts for three days or until the data is used — whichever comes first.

In addition to this backup connection, T-Mobile is offering the Nimble Champ Pro 20k 65W Portable Power at 50% off to new customers for a limited time period. This is a great portable battery pack that you can use to power your 5G gateway for seven hours. With the discount in place, you can get the portable battery pack at $49.99.
