We had the worst time with this service and had to switch back to cable internet. I spent probably more than 10 hours on the phone over a week with their tech support. It would work fine for a brief moment and then nothing despite appearances that everything was OK. It was a complete nightmare.

My speeds are around 400/40, but it's useless if you do online gaming.
For office and home use and streaming, it works well.

see below. you can do your own research too.

Hello! I apologize that you are having issues with Home Internet. I personally use T-Mobile Home Internet for Gaming, and I can agree with you it can be a little frustrating getting it to work with Video Games if at all. The reason for this (confirmed by a Supervisor from Home Internet department) is because the High-Speed Gateway lacks the "UPnP" feature which in short terms is used to connect to certain aspects of a Video Game such as Chat Systems for example. Without UPnP, video gaming can be tough. T-Mobile is aware of the issue, and they are working on a fix, but don't know when it will be released. I hope my answer has helped. Have a great week!

and

had issues with the port forwarding. The issue is that t-mobile and others use a carrier grade NAT which will never assign you a public IP when connecting to the internet. You will be assigned a shared IP to WAN which means there is no way to direct any particular port to your device directly. Unless t-mobile offers a service to allow a public or dedicated IP this probably will never be supported, even if the router they provide has it available in their settings

Love my T Mobile home internet....saving $20/mo compared to Spectrum with speeds at least 2 to 7 times faster! (150mbps download up to as high as 500mbps). If you're close to the towers, you'll love it....seems to be hit or miss though, although I've heard more people like it than not.

When I try and sign up online it says it's not available at my location, but it's available at the house across the street... 40 feet from me. WTF?

Just FYI: You cant disable the NAT/Firewall on the TMO Modem even if you plug in your own router....

This makes it a non starter for anyone running a server (BT and certain games) or custom cameras.


Quote from kijb :
I got 900mbps down and 100mbps up on my 5G iPhone through Tmobile. But unfortunately, the home internet speeds were not the same for me. GAMERS BEWARE: high ping and packet loss base from my own experience.
This is most likely due to the inherent lag with wireless and also the Firewall issue... many games need particular ports open for optimal matchmaking and performance which you cant do on the TMO modem.

Quote from Psygnius :
I heard you can move it around, but they discourage it. If you wanted to take it on a road trip, this thing has a battery in it, and I don't think they'll disconnect it if it goes out of town. It's pretty much a sim card in a wifi device.
Just FYI, when the modem is running on the battery it does not allow you to connect to it. I had T-Mobile internet fo few months and when I received the Nokia (the tower) modem, I tried to take it on the road to test the speed in our area and closer to the 5G tower that is about three miles from my place. The modem turned on but I could not connect my iPad to it. Called customer service and they said the modem shuts down the router service when it is on battery. So the battery is practically useless unless they change the firmware.

The main problem is when busy traffic during the day, tmo router gets deprioritized and throttled down to less than 3Mbps!
I live in orange county, CA. It was perfectly fine in the summer. When my near by high school went back in session, it got hit hard and became useless.

Quote from wuss :
Not knocking t mobile, but you cant really make claims of how much faster it is vs spectrum without providing an apples to apples cost/speed information. Otherwise, Spectrum is most definitely faster than tmobile being that you can get over a gigabit down in most areas. Not that i have any love for them, i'd drop them in a heartbeat if fiber was offered in my area.
I CAN make claims about how much faster T Mobile Home internet is for me compared to the service that Spectrum provided to me for $70/mo (only 70 mbps download and 6-7 mbps upload). For $20/mo less with T Mobile Home Internet, I'm now getting 150-500 mbps download and 20-55 mbps upload. Yeah, if I want to spend even MORE money with Spectrum, I could get faster speeds with them. But why would I want to do that with the alternative that T Mobile provides to me?

I have Frontier's 500mbps for $49.99 and I consistently get between 450 to 550 mbps. I use my own router as theirs is not that great (I was getting 250-330 with their router).
It helps if there is competition as we have spectrum as an option too.

you dont really understand my comment, so i wont bother explaining.
He probably does not understand that if you want a deal you do not just sign up on their (Spectrum) website.
If there is completion where you live (Spectrum, Frontier, T Mo 5G, Verizon home 5G, etc) you can call them and say what deal can you give me.
I use to have Spectrum GIG internet for $65.99, it was for 2 years though.

Damn nothing at my location. Can't wait until they come to my area to break those monopoly of the cable company. I really don't have any alternatives to cable internet at my place.
If you have a corporate T-Mobile store near you then you can get one even if it isn't available through the website. Try it out and return if it sucks.

Spectrum Gig for new customers in town next to me with no other competition is $110 for 12 months then its $135

Spectrum also tried get FCC to allow them add data caps back last year. The 7 year Merger agreement expires in 2023 so they can legally add data caps again next year.

Same here. Only other option is 15mb no name company. And I pay $155 a month. AND T-Mobile is available across the street from m but not at my house. Merica.
