I had this service for 6 months in Tampa. When it worked it was great but some days it did not work. Many drops and multi-hour disconnects per month.

Since this is a no contract service they will not force you to buy anything. You get a free modem/router to use unlike many wired services that lease you a modem. If you have to upgrade for a fee you simply cancel the service.
so you do agree not "for life"?

That is correct. I had it for about 20 days a few months ago and returned it. When I first received it, wifi speeds were consistently 600-700mbps when doing speed test, then after a week, they dropped to 400-450 level, and I was still fine for the price (I have magenta Max, so internet was $30 for me). Then one night I couldn't even stream a video, everything was lagging. I did a speed test and speed showed 60-70mbps. Contacted their customer support, which was clueless, they couldn't help. Restarted device, and speeds were back to 600's, then a few day later, they dropped back to 70's range. At that point I started doing research and apparently I wasn't the only one having this problem.
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.
I had massive issues with it as well. I kept mine for I think under 2 months. When I researched the issue I found, as you said, other people also experiencing similar things. Except mine was way worse I never got 600 mb down or anything close to that. My best was like 200 down and I was getting less than 10!!! most of the time during the day. It was not useable at all since I work from home. If I remember right the issue is that since tmobile home internet is using the cellular tower and so when there's congestion the home internet people are given low priority and our speeds get absolutely crushed. what I concluded is that tmobile is just not ready for this in my area. it was like amateur hour. i had to go to the local library to get their 30 mb down while i was on tmobile's home internet.

Will it be backed up by Elon musk's starlink when speed slows down?

Quote from pet1700 :
Because most people unfortunately never upgrade or use high quality network equipment and rely to the hardware provided to them. Hence, a strong selling point from TMO that you get modem and router for free for only $25 a month without having to buy any other equipment.
That is true, as average user will not want to mess with anything, rather connect it and leave it alone. For 80% of population, this is an amazing deal, and most people won't notice speed difference week to week.
I mean I was very surprised to see 700 down and almost 100 up on a 5G hot spot. My area a few month ago had its tower upgraded and now I get 5G UC. On my phone when I do speed test, I get consistent 800-850mbps, which is insane for a 5G connection.

They're talking about connecting to the modem/router, not to the "service" itself. 5G has nothing to do with your internal LAN.
He was replying to my comment, where I said I wish T-Mobile had an actual physical line like Comcast or fiber internet.

It's basically like a super hotspot lol not close to spectrum or any other dsl service
I can confirm the speed is not consistent. I have been using it for around 8 months now. To be precise, the download speed cannot consistently exceed 100 Mbps like cable, it is more around 50 to 70 Mbps average. That's ok and enough to stream HD Netflix, play online games games and surf the web in 5 different computers.

The upload still is usually better than the cable... Average around 7 Mbps. I could get over 12 Mbps sometimes.

Connection consistency is ok I guess.. I was only ok... I got disconnected total 3 times in 8 months... No

How can you tell who owns the tower? There's a cell tower that was recently installed pretty close to my house, but I don't know how to tell what carrier owns the tower.
Good question. When we were building our home we noticed the tower right behind our lot. At the time my cell service, with TMO, was always 4g LTE and I usually got 1-2 bars. About 4 months ago I heard a helicopter that sounded like it was in my back yard. When I went outside to see what was going on I saw the helicopter lowering parts of a new antenna array onto the tower with a few guys at the top bolting it on. A few weeks later my phone started registering 5Guc with a solid 5 bars and that's how I knew.

This tower has 3 different antenna arrays on it so I think it services many different providers. I looked it up and found that the tower is owned by a company named Mobilecomm. It seems they own many towers and probably lease the tower to providers.

Wonder if I activate a 2nd Internet under a different address that some of the phones on my plan are on, if I can then cancel the T-Mo internet I have at another address and then change the address on the $25/mo internet to where I canceled the existing service.

Edit: Well scratch that, just read the CNET article again and they amended it.

"After earlier telling CNET that multiple lines on an account could sign up for the offer -- such as a family plan where not everyone still lives together -- the carrier said on Wednesday that the deal will be limited to one Home Internet line per account. "

Had tried this previously. Wasn't bad until they did an upgrade and basically lost signal. Had to go back to comcast (yuck!).

Other issue was with the 5G unit they gave me I had to use their DHCP/DNS services unless I disabled their unit's wifi and connected my wifi router. I have pihole set up with DNS so wanted to use that instead.

What if towers are busy when everyone ditches xfinity (like me)? will you get priority or throttled?
That I don't know to be honest. I'm willing to give it a try and see.

Look at the $10 taxes included t-mobile internet thread - no need for any voice lines - , seems to be easy setup using a 4G modem like the T9 or a modem and router ( router running script to change ttl) that works with some of the 5G modems.
this sounds very interesting. I can't find the link though. Can you find/share? THANKS
