I am experimenting with the T mobile 5G home internet service. Been just a few days, but so far so good. I’m in an Ultra Capacity area

Had AT&T fiber installed today. So far so good. The 1/2 Gig package is downloading at 668 Mbps and upload is 544 Mbps. Has improved my Streamed live TV. Scrollers at the bottom of screens are much smoother. The most I have seen on WiFi 5 Ghz has been 222 Mbps. Best part is it's $5 less a month than DSL. Plus this 45 year AT&T customer locked in my new price for life of $45 including modem. All I had to do was mention the Spectrum and T-Mobile price available in this area and in 30 seconds the deal was done.
In my area, Verizon Fios straddles your price point, but both plans have slower speeds. 200 Mbps for $39.99 and 400 Mbps for $69.99 per month. That’s why I’m trying the T Mobile 5G service for $50 per month.…
I'm envious, stuck on ATT ADSL (50/12). It seems ATT pretty much halted their fiber expansion (after the subsidy check from Uncle Sam cleared).
My speeds are satisfactory for what I do. The thing that really bugs me is that they (ATT& everyone else) charges market price. I get less than 1/10th the bandwidth you mention yet pay more - even with a 1-yr discount from changing tiers.
I pay $85/month for this. It’s fast enough for my streaming tv but not ideal. My neighbor got Starlink and is getting 180 download speeds for $100/month. Spectrum wants us to pay $30,000 to come to my neighborhood, which would be split among 10-20 homes if everyone could agree.
Comcast: 475 down and 24 upload. Wired connection.
Consolidated Cable just installed fiber optic all throughout our town. On the low end they are selling 50MBS for $35/mo with install and modem/router included, On the high end 1gbs for $70/mo. Of course cost go up after one year.
Why get more than 50mb for home use, even streaming 4K video.?
Then the just changed their name to the silly: fidium. My wife said some guy was going door to door trying
to get people to sign up. She shood him off.
M-lab said I was 80 down / 5 up to a NYC server 270 miles away.
Comcast/xfinity ( my provider ) tested at 255 down / ? up to a Boston, MA. server 45 miles away Ipv6 protocol

Part of the reason for the good price, is that they want to shut down the old copper DSL lines here in the KC metro. When enough people switch around here they can justify the shutdown. The service tech stated at that point, they will ask you to move to fiber, or switch to another provider, and shut off the DSL If you want a land line here, it is $80+ a month.
OMG, I am soooo jealous! Thanks for this post of what we can look forward too one day! Back in Jan 2021 to Feb 2022 I did a HUGE thread on TMobile Home internet right here on BITOG, ultimately after promising results the first day or two of service things when south. TMOBILE TRIED TO MAKE IT WORK, including engineers who contacted me, bottom line, our towers are just not updated enough, so they took the equipment back, refunded and said once towers are updated will be notified, I bet it will take years because I checked for service through their website now within what must be every direction out over 10 miles from my address and shows not available. So annoying Spectrum is way to expensive for what I need and I can literally see the tower through the trees in my community! Ugh!
I wasn't a big fan of the T-Mobile router but I did get it to work with my router and I can't begin to answer how I did being the T-Mobile has very limited settings... but one thing for sure is it does have pretty good built in WiFi range for an all in one and thank TMobile for having great pricing.
Yeah, I went back and looked at some of your thread. Got your hopes up and then they couldn’t quite make it work in the end. I’m only a few days in, so I’m expecting a lot more variation than what I’ve seen. Honestly with better placement I’ve been able to increase the speed some. Ethernet connected devices are seeing 600+ Mbps speeds now. I’m keeping Fios as a backup for now and may try a load balancing router so I can run off both T-Mobile and Fios connections with the ability to fail over if needed. Of course I would look for reduced bandwidth from Fios (and reduced $)
Yeah, would love an update next month, thanks.
Im good with just 100 Mbps, 200+ would be wonderful. Dont need more then that but if I did its cool to see for sure.
I know the TMobile Router/Modem inside out now, tried so many combinations besides signal, working to get it to work with our home network due to limited settings and my wife's at home workplace workstation, Its all good, now I just need the service. At least once a month I put in a request but all I get is we are not in your area yet.
It was cool in the beginning when we were able to sign up so I keep waiting for that OK. *L* Frustrating, more so when I see the tower and not that far aways it another but they are not exactly loaded down with antennas yet.
this app doesn’t seem to measure ping, but I’m really happy with this T-Mobile 5G home internet service for $50 a month…
