- Speeds 20-140 mbps download, 5-30 mbps upload depending on your location, time of day, phase of the moon, usage on the network
- Sometimes the service completely drops out, at least once a day, and my video meetings stop working for 30-120 seconds.
- Not great for gaming due to latency.
- You don't have to pay for the box but you will be charged $350+ if you don't return it in good condition at the end of your service.
- The box forgets its wifi settings when it loses power.
- It has a battery but the transition from outlet to battery power instigates a reboot of the box.
- WiFi on the box is not ideal - connect your own access point via the ethernet ports.
- The box does NAT + DHCP. You cannot bypass this.
- May require a hard credit pull.

From my quick research, T-Mobile is shipping new devices that are 5G capable, so they are not enabled yet... Also to mention, the new devices they are shipping will not allow you to change any settings except for wifi name/password...
After introductory, I was able to negotiate but still over $40.

I have DSL, but am technically beyond the physical limit from the switch.
With no options other than satellite, I asked them to hook me up anyway.
On a good day, I get 3 Mbps, just barely enough to stream a show.
I have a company Verizon hotspot for WFH that gets 25 Mbps.
I had the T-mobile hotspot trial and it was well over 10.
NEITHER company was willing to sell me wireless "home internet," even though I meet their criteria. -The problem being my zip code includes areas that are served by multiple high speed options.
Both would be more than happy to sell me hotspot service, however, with higher total cost and data caps.
I have cricket(AT&T) for cell service, but I quite often miss or drop calls inside my house. (I don't care, because if I'm home, I prefer the landline anyway and I can't beat the cricket multi-line plan I have.)
2. No contract. There is a buyer's remorse period (20 days?)
3. Read my comment earlier for speeds.
It is only available in certain markets at the moment. Not everyone will be eligible due to location.
