Anyone using T-Mobile's 5g home internet?

[3Hotdogs]

Got an email ad. The transmitter is about 200ft from my house, on a pole across the street.


Anyone using it?

Difficulty switching Netflix and Prime from Verizon to T-Mob?

Any difficulty with channel selection?

1. just a question for you...

do you have a hotspot on your phone? if so, why pay extra for the other device?

we use our phone hotspot for our home internet and are able to stream movies, surf internet, etc no problems.

we are NOT high-end users, no gaming etc.

3. Maybe your plan does not have a restriction

But most limit how much data you can use via hotspot. That's why they sell house internet.

2. I'm sticking with fiber optic.

That RF internet sounds sketchy for higher speeds.

4. I tried it twice

I don’t recommend it unless the signal is all-bars-all-the-time strong. It’s not like I had gaming and streaming going on with multiple devices when connection issues happened. When it works, it works great. Just make sure final strength is adequate.

5. I use it

I switched from FIOS and have not found a problem.
I stream movies and videos but am not a heavy game user.

On edit: i don't use the services you specifically mentioned so I can't comment on them.

6. Just switched 10 days ago from ATT 1G fiber and I can tell NO DIFFERENCE! No TV hiccups, PC net is great.

not a gamer. Upload speed is a little slower but suits my needs for over half the price of those greedy ATT mofos

7. Dumped T-Mobile due to their use of Muskrat's Starlink...

and funding of Drumpf's destruction of the East Wing for the new Ballroom.

8. We have been using T-Mobile 5G for approx 2 Years.

The 5G transmitter is a few hundreds yards from our router, direct shot no obstructions. We ditched AT&T after a year of multiple multi day outages with the added BS with their CSRs constantly lying to us & they hiked their price. T-Mobile offered a 'free' 50" HG fire TV & a guaranteed price per month. Very easy to set up, we're geezers in our 70s & have frustrating problems with much of the new technology.
T-Mobile had much higher speeds than AT&T offered at the time. To date, no problems, was easy to hook up & has worked seamlessly with Direct TV stream, Prime Video, Netflix & several other apps we use. Looking back over the last two decades, it's the best service we've had, compared to Comcast & AT&T, which were both horrid when outages happened.
Bottom line is take the time to research where T-Mobile leases space for their 5G transmitters on cell towers, after all is said & done we purchased an 70" OLED TV for our living room & are constantly blown away with the picture quality, especially when compared to the B&W TVs we grew up with.

9. Most mobile phone carriers have 5G home internet devices these days.

I tried Verizon's 5G offering after hurricane Helene chewed up our town last year, knocking out AT&T and Spectrum's home services. It was OK but had one big problem: The 5G signal you receive for the internet is shared with all the other 5G users who have cell phones and the cell phones get priority when things get congested like after 5 PM when users are at home streaming stuff on their cell phones. The performance during the evenings was poor ... something to keep in mind.
