I wonder if this is portable as long as you have an oulet for power?

Also, that person said they were wondering why a device was not supplied without Wifi, not 5g. So it seemed reasonable to gather that they were talking about the modem/router that T-Mobile supplies, which has wifi on it. So, whatever you want to say, but the post you originally replied to was talking about onboard wifi, not a line of service into the modem. That would defeat the entire purpose of this very thread.
It doesn't matter if TMO provided a standalone modem or not...there is no physical connection going into the house. #2...having a router built into the modem that you could simply turn off has no implications on speeds or lag if you connect your router

Funny anecdotal story: many, many years ago, I was visiting my parents who moved to a remote area and only had dialup. While this was ~20 years ago, broadband was a thing in most areas and I had like a 3mbps cable circuit at my place or something like that. Anyway, trying to use a single modem for Internet was beyond painful, especially for work related stuff. They had two phone lines, and I had a built in modem in my laptop plus a PCMCIA card one, so figured, WTH let's see if I can double up. Never tried it before, but it connected fine, bridged the two connections and I was getting ~100kbps. Still sucked, but double the speed of the alternative. Made that week a bit more bearable.
Fast forward about a month and my mom calls me saying she got a bill from her ISP (AT&T or some subsidiary) saying she was charged around $500 in overages and asked me if I knew what happened. As this was an "unlimited" plan, it didn't make any sense. I told her I would call them and I spoke to some billing rep who was very confused since it normally didn't bill people anything for a flat rate plan. She started digging in and said it looks like I was connected twice at the same time. At that point I realized what happened, but played it cool and said "how was that possible", etc. She agreed it didn't make any sense so issued a full credit. But it seems like while the ISP supported it from a technical standpoint, they charged people like $0.50/hour or something crazy if they did it.
I also looked into shotgunning two Xfinity gigabit connections however the rep had no idea what I was describing and kept telling me that 'wifi is like a waterfall...'
Then I called Tmobile. From the sounds of it, using hardware chung_chang cited I can join my Xfinity with up to two Tmobile connects. I am a unclear how much bandwidth is lost by overhead, but I did confirm the sim cards are accessible. The only concern I have with T Mobile is that my address isn't actually supported. I get 5G in my home, but I can't technically buy service.
Now, if you're primary usage at home is during rush hour and you live near a freeway, or you're in a tourist area of a big city and you stream on weekends, this is probably a lousy deal . T-mo is looking to maximize the use of their towers and this is one way to do that. It's an advantage if you happen to want to use internet when most phone users aren't.
Have many IP Camera's, Plex server, and other things that require remote access.
Everything now is humming along nicely with Frontier Internet at $65 a month, speedtest 400/300, and Asus RT-AX3000 router. On Samsung S22, T-Mobile shows 5GUC and speedtest 416/100 ... and BOOM, just lost my T-Mobile $10 kickback for going over data while running the speedtest LOL.
Could put up with the slightly slower speed, with hopes it would improve at 1/2 the price, but not worth the hassle if I need to go through hoops.
First, I called Xfinity and asked them one more time if I could please pay for their Gigabit x6 plan that is in my town but which no one will return my calls. They told me they would 'submit another ticket'.

So yeah, I think it's good deal for people who use normal/light internet but heavy users and people who stream this is not for you. I do know that Tmobile might have 600+ speeds in some states so of course those are different.
