T-Mobile to Release Home TV Service, TVision Home

By Jessica Guyon

Yesterday, T-Mobile introduced a new home TV service known as TVision Home in its latest push to take on Big Cable. The “un-carrier” revealed that the service is an upgraded and rebranded version of Layer3 TV, a company they acquired back in 2017. T-Mobile wants people to switch over to TVision Home so badly that they are willing to pay up to $500 in early termination fees for those in Dish and DirecTV contracts.

TVision Home is ready to go live on April 14 in Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington D.C. metro areas, and Longmont, CO – areas Layer3 has already been serving.
