If you ever had a prepaid hotspot or prepaid phone with T-Mobile, the email used with that old account should NOT be used when ordering home internet. You may have problems associating the home internet gateway device with that email address when you receive it and may need to ask for help to fix this or to change the email address. To keep things simple choose a different email address when ordering.
If you have a Sprint account that has not yet migrated to the new T-Mobile system, you may or may not be to enroll in home internet with this deal. Instead T-Mobile will suggest that a family member enroll instead. If that's not possible, T-Mobile can also enroll you at a higher rate of $60 per month.

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

My entire process from ordering TMO Home Internet, to receiving gateway within 4 days, to quick and painless initial setup, to daily use, and getting my rebate has been extremely easy. I am sorry to hear folks who are either not already TMO customers or with Sprint having such difficulties. They really need to work on making this easier to non-TMO customers if they want to grow their customer-base.
Also another quick update...for the last 30+ days, there have been 0 outages, not even small blips. My 24x7 Nest Hello cloud recording has had zero gaps, and I've been checking everyday. And I've been running speedtests everyday as well and about 98% of time, my speeds have been solid around 500Mbps down and 30Mbps up. The other 2% either dips down to 400/20 or goes up to 600/40. This was done at random times throughout the day, including congested time. I have yet to reboot my gateway during that whole time and bands have been locked onto N41/B2 the entire time. I think my 2 external antennas help with the solid connections and consistent speeds alot.

Thank you
Let me talk to a rep before I get it. Else it is a waste of time.

The other possibility of no service is from what I've read, TMO is supposedly using excess bandwidth for the home internet service. If your area is always congested, I guess there would be no "excess bandwidth" left. Keep in mind TMO Home Internet is de-prioritized at the bottom so all their other services take priority. If they already have too many home internet subscribers in that area taking up "excess bandwidth", they may stop offering home internet in that area.

Has anyone done this? I can't tell if T-Mobile does a credit check for this service, but if they do there would be a mismatch. Thanks.
