From this post
The multiple ways of using this $10 line for home internet are:
1. T-Mobile Gateway + Cudy N300 or X6 which are wifi only routers to mask hotspot usage with TTL set on the external wifi router. You can use other wifi routers for this purpose but there's a menu page in the Cudy routers which makes setting TTL easy - Courtesy waterchange
1.1 Cudy router like Cudy LT500 or LT18 or the 5G P8 work as a single device with modem + wifi router. Work well for home internet. Nice thing about the Cudy modems is easy TTL (and imei magic if necessary). - Courtesy waterchange
2. M2100 hotspot device - Hit or a miss - native out of the box but less reliable
3. Orbic 5G hotspot device - more reliable than the m2100, however some people have reported throttling after 1st couple of months
4. Gateway + Project Genesis - works most reliably
5. TMOHS1 - ~ 30-50 mbps out of the box, no TTL update required
6. Tmobile Franklin - ~30-50 mbps with TTL update - the most reliable as of right now, however limited speed.
7. M2000 won't pull data from anywhere.
8. GL.iNET Spitz GL-X3000NR easier to use than Cudy and better performance but expensive. Great form factor and performance. Presets for T-Mobile TTL settings and advanced cell features like tower/band lock. External antennas.
9. M3000B works out of the box with T-Mobile version. Has battery preservation features and ethernet port. Some users say to switch 5G mode to NSA if the hotspot restarts frequently in your area.
Add/update if you have more/better info.

They will still lock you to a 2 year EIP even if it's free (They'll make a monthly credit to cover the tablet EIP)
Meaning you'd end up paying $10 for 2 years ($240) for a $129 tablet.
So if you're only doing it for the tablet then it's not worth it
soc code ZB10HSTI is the one you want.

Many companies are trying to boost profit. Netflix, for example, knows that people have been sharing passwords for years. But no actions have been taken until now.
Unrelated but what has Netflix done to curb password sharing? I've seen many articles over the years but never implemented, have they implemented anything - seems like they just raise their prices. I know they did it in India but will they do it in the US?
Also, how are people getting free devices with test drive? Dont you get charged if you dont return it?

Not trying to bruise your ego, but when someone sells brand new and sealed 5G gateways for $40 on eBay, you don't think they "fell off a truck"? Maybe you're right, who knows. But if this is TMO's "crackdown" to boost profits I am sure we'd hear about more than 2 units that got blacklisted.
In any event, now that TMO and Netflix are teaming up to boost their profits, TMO better stop switching the public IP address on the Home Internet every 30 seconds or else - to use a soccer term - the big password sharing crackdown will turn into an own goal for both.

The cost of 4G/5G transceiver plus router is minimal. The 4G TMOHS1 is smaller than a pack of cigarette and pull about 2 watts. The expensive components include the antenna/gain circuit and the high speed WiFi router.
If we discount the Ebay 5G unit, then we're down to one confirmed 5G device that's blacklisted by T Mo when used in conjunction with the $10 SIM. The $25 T Mo home internet SIM is essentially a $10 SIM that's locked to T Mo's 5G home devices. You're paying an extra $15 to access data on multiple devices at the same time. T Mo is probably losing $ if you're pulling several TB of data each month with the $10 plan.

I got two 5G gateways on ebay and haven't had any issues with them. One was $57 or so with local pickup and the other was $60 shipped after the seller accepted a counteroffer. Of course the risk is there that you will get a blacklisted device but if you buy from a trusted seller that offers returns, the risk is really minimal.

Meaning, TMHI may pull slower speeds due to congestion but the full bandwidth can be used for streaming. Tablet line pulls higher speeds during congestion but throttles certain streaming services.
Edit to add a little more flavor: I run both of these lines concurrently in a KVD21 each, both positioned in the same location with similar network metrics in the app. I have an Asus mesh system connected via ethernet and can switch the WAN input in a matter of seconds. I tested this thoroughly and am getting consistent 450 down / 60 up on the tablet line whereas TMHI dips down to 150/20 at times. Speed tests always run on PC via gigabit ethernet connection, so no Wifi involved.

You can start out with the $10 SIM, but if the device gets blacklisted by T Mo, then you're stuck with a brick. This risk goes up as you use more data each month. Those who pull several TBs of data each month put a heavy load on the transmission tower. T Mo is not in the business of losing $ each month.
I'm using the free TMOHS1 with 35-55 Mbps download and 45 ms static ping. I think the risk of "blacklisting" is very low with this setup. Will cancel the $25 plan once I get my $100 reward card. $50 for the home internet is too expensive, due the critical placement of the 5G device.
