Home internet is a new business. T-Mobile already covers 30M households for home internet (around 20-25% of US households, https://www.t-mobile.com/isp https://www.t-mobile.com/isp). Verizon has a more limited LTE home internet program. T-Mobile is currently targeting areas where they have excess capacity, but their capacity will be growing a lot over the next year or two as they launch a lot of new mid-band spectrum. Verizon is also looking to launch new mid-band capacity, however that will probably be a couple years behind given that the spectrum isn't currently free and the fact that Verizon's new spectrum will require more towers for coverage. Still, wireless companies are looking at a lot of new capacity and looking to expand into home internet. Sometimes it's about the technology coming together at the right time to offer a new product. Think about the original iPod. Before then, MP3 players were either sad 32MB players that could only handle 10 songs or large and heavy boxes that weighed a pound and couldn't fit in a pocket. Then the 1" hard-drive came around and Apple shipped the iPod. Without the 1" hard drive, Apple couldn't offer a light-weight, pocketable music player with a 1,000 song capacity. Likewise, without new mid-band spectrum and new 5G technologies, it's very hard for wireless carriers to offer home internet without data caps. However, those new technologies come around and all of a sudden it opens new opportunities. T-Mobile has already started to use some of that new capacity. Their base plans include 100GB of premium data (deprioritized when the network is busy after that) and their new MAX plans have unlimited premium data (never deprioritized). The industry will be working toward home internet over the next 5 years, but it is a reality today for a lot of customers and that will start growing quickly.
