T-Mobile has announced a new 'Away' plan alternate to their popular Home Internet plan, specifically aimed at RV&Boaters, travelers and digital nomads. It is set to go live on May 8.  

This plan at last officially offers a mobile unlimited data option on T-Mobile's network, and costs $160/mo. A capped 200GB version will also be available for $110/mo.

The plan is very similar to the terms of the Home Internet version (including the new 1.2TB priority data threshold - see below) - except it throttled video streaming to 1080p. 

With a new official "Away" plan - it is anticipated that T-Mobile may begin enforcing the fixed location terms on the $50-$60/mo Home Internet plan that many nomads are using.

If enforcement comes - nomads who have come to rely on T-Mobile Home Internet will likely be impacted by needing to update their address each time they move to a qualified area or switch to the new "Away" plan that costs 3x the price.
