I have two of these on my account. One for our AIRBNB and the other we keep in our van for traveling.
1. As long as you are in a 5g Service area, you will have service. Our AirBNB is downtown Oklahoma City and it pulls around 500mb down, 300mb up. It varies alot, but is always more than powerful enough for several devices. I have seen it as low as 50mb down (perhaps during a storm?)
2. As long as the device is plugged in and in a service area, it will work. I believe in the fine print it says it wont and it is somehow geo tied to your address, this has not been my experience at all. It has worked while traveling through multiple states so far.
3. No idea if this promotion will apply to existing customers, I plan to explore it fully and if need be I will order two more services and eventually cancel the old ones.
Not impossible your 'remote access' or (current settings'd) VPN might break, but otherwise all local config, access, etc. will remain the same.
As far as VPNs go, I have successfully connected:
-Private Internet Access
-NordVPN
-Aura VPN
-Speedify
T-mobile doesn't actively block VPNs, but the way their tech is setup (IPv6-native network, Double NAT, etc) it may require some reconfiguration or workarounds.
In my setup, the TMHI gateway is 'upstream' of the US-24 Switch 2 levels.
I have Ethernet lines from both a CenturyLink Gateway and TMHI Gateway going into a 1U Rackmount PC running Windows Server 2019 and Speedify (ISP 'bonding') + Connectify (Connection Sharing). That "Speedibox" then 'uplinks' to the US-24 Switch that supplies my home w/ Ethernet.
It works really well considering I can't do DMZ/port forwarding on the TMHI, but can 'drop' to CenturyLink for low latency gaming or hosting.

Of course, YMMV depending on how good your signal is but even then we only get 3 bars and still excellent download rates.

I am not sure if the device reaches its capacity and starts bottlenecking or what, but even at $25 for life I would not get it, not unless they fix their problem.
It would be better if they have offered their own modem that way you can use your own router to potentially avoid any speed drops.
Now my friend that lives 20 minutes away, has an older gen device (grey instead of black tower), he doesn't see any issues with speed drop.
Just wanted to share my experience that I had.

Also, this does not work in all locations, so YMMV.

What happens if i port out the only line i have with Tmobil AFTER i get this? Do i keep it and pay only for internet or keeping a cell line is a MUST to retain internet?
