Remember that other Tilly Norwood who broke the internet by… not being real? Cute stunt. Mint Mobile just answered with receipts, and an actual Natalie “Tilly” Norwood made of 100% carbon-based vibes, to launch its new 5G home service, “MINTernet.”
Here’s the gist: Mint is bringing its wireless playbook to your living room with home internet plans starting at $30 a month, riding T-Mobile’s 5G network. No bundles, no “our price after 17 mail-in rebates,” no limited-time-for-the-rest-of-your-life fine print. Just a router, a signal, and a bill that doesn’t require a séance to decode.
Mint’s pitch is basically: you hate your current internet bill (join the club), 66% of you are ready to switch, and cable “bundle deals” are about as satisfying as store-brand cereal without milk. So Mint stripped the gimmicks and kept the savings. The setup? Under 15 minutes in most cases, aka faster than your current provider’s hold music gets to verse two.
Ryan Reynolds shows up, naturally, to do Ryan Reynolds things: “We literally deliver it to your home,” he deadpans. (Not a metaphor. A box arrives. You plug it in. The Internet happens. Wild.) Watch below:
And because the universe has a sense of humor, Mint enlisted the real Tilly Norwood to poke the AI hornet’s nest, smart, timely, and way more fun than pretending a CGI influencer pays rent.
Bottom line: if your ISP treats you like an ATM, MINTernet is the petty, practical revenge. Real value. Real savings. Real Tilly. Take that, uncanny valley.
