Back in March 2019, T-Mobile announced that they have started to test home internet services using LTE. At the time, this program offered LTE home internet to 50,000 households to begin testing out T-Mobile's hardware ahead of their 5G home internet services launch. Now T-Mobile has opened its $50 a month unlimited home internet service up to everyone (subject to network availability).
"We've tripled our LTE coverage as we work to create a network where everyone in America has access to fast and reliable home internet, no matter where they live." T-Mobile says in a statement on its website.
This new service will offer 50 Mbps down home internet (due to "LTE network and spectrum capacity constraints") for $50 a month with no data cap. T-Mobile is quick to add that the new 5G home internet services will be far faster when it launches. T-Mobile says this service comes with no annual contracts, no data caps, no hidden fees, no price hikes, and no hardware costs.
This could be an excellent option for Americans living in markets with data caps. Using T-Mobile Home Internet could give you an opportunity to stream all you want without worrying about your data cap.

I Checked Availability, dropped a pin on my house, and the next page asks for my contact info and IF it's available they'll contact me.
How do you try it out?

Can I use the LTE Wi-Fi Gateway elsewhere, like my vacation home?
No. The T-Mobile Home Internet LTE Wi-Fi Gateway will be geographically locked to your specified home's location so you won't be able to move it from one home to another.
Google Fiber?

AT&T Prepaid - Unlimited Data for iPads = $35.00/month with a soft cap of 22GB
AT&T Unlimited Connected Car $30 for standalone and $20 with a plan also with a soft cap of 22GB
AT&T Unlimited Tablet = $20 with Unlimited Plan with soft cap of 22GB
T-Mobile Unlimited Tablet = $20 with autopay with a wireless plan 50GB soft cap.
If you are a light user and will not even hit these soft caps. Even if you hit the soft cap they will just slow you down a little (depends on area). Just buy one of these plans and put the sim into a modem (Dlink US Cellular) or a Mifi and all of these options will work. As long as they are not branded AT&T or T-Mobile devices the network will always think that it is on a tablet.
Example of soft cap: If you get 50mbps originally after you hit the sofr cap you will get 10-15mbps. Coverage and soft caps are always area dependent and remember it depends on what modem/mifi you use too.
