To the best of my knowledge it is not mobile. There are large, permanently installed antenae.
I have had this service in San Diego Couny, CA and in Las Vegas, NV. I recently switched to the same kind of 5G home internet service from Verizon. Everything is highly dependent on your location relative to the nearest tower(s) and the relative absence of barrier between you and those towers. The San Diego location was fairly close but our unit's windows were only on one side of the building and multiple walls between us and the tower. Signal was rather inconsistent. In Las Vegas we fared a lot better but yes, we did have fluctuations-- this is not a secret-- it's inherent in the technology and the provided gateway equipment-- which lacks connections for external antennae. We had unacceptable bouts of signal loss.

We switched to Verizon's service to determine whether we'd do better. We have. Not only is it more stable but the gateway provides for features that the primitive T-Mobile unit didn't provide-- especially port forwarding. We did have had to power cycle the gateway 3 times in the past month. But this was less frequent than with T-Mobile. I've been a T-Mobile cell customer for more than 16 years now and I found that the support provided by the T-Mobile Home Internet business did not match my experience with the mobile voice side of the business for the most part. I got great support if I reached a US call center (not surprisingly best times were during weekday business hours).

But you wanna hear something you're not gonna expect? I might serious consider taking on the T-Mobile $25 offer if they will have me back at that rate. This would give me backup.

Why am I resisting the local cable provider? You can guess, can't you. The industry players have awful reputations. And they put data caps on the plans.

As for portability:
The mobile providers determine your eligibility based on your location. So they already know that location is crucial to the viability of service at a given site. I suspect you can get away with going on a road trip to one major metro area to another. But I also suspect the carrier will not be happy seeing you violating the understanding-- and of course they can readily determine what cells your gateway would be accessing. This is not a substitute for StarLink-- even if you want to avoid Elon Musk.

We use it as a backup when our 1Mbps cable is down. It works great and is much more reasonable versus the monthly cable price and monthly data cap.

Tmob knows they can't blanket an area so only limit availability to any tower location. If you're interested don't wait to sign up.

The only option I had at my house was DSL with max speed of 8 mbps. T-Mobile was getting ~65 mbps, but would sometimes drop down to around 4 mbps until a reboot of the modem. That was until I installed external antennas and now am getting constant ~120 mbps service. Have a friend that lives closer to the tower and he is getting better speeds without external antennas.
which external antenna did you install?

I want to try this but I am a little concerned. We have Frontier fios now 500/500 at about $70 a month, no issues.

Have 5-6 nest cameras running 24/7

Stream 2 TVs at a time

Use YouTube tv and other streaming services

Use PS4/5 and Switch for online gaming such as Fortnite and Call of Duty

Spouse and I both work from home. I can have teams/webex calls that last 8 straight hours

Is T-Mobile internet even something that would work for us?
Quote from howdy_tx :
I sure like to know too! Similar situation
Had a friend using it and he mentioned that he was having problems playing online games due to not being able to port forward. Do a quick Google of "T-mobile Home Internet Gaming" and you will find plenty of threads online of people complaining about the issue and at least last time I did a search there was no work around other than maybe using a gaming VPN service.

Definitely try the service before you cancel your existing one.

You all keep talking about data speeds but I have 25mbps cox throttled down to 10mbps because we keep hitting the 1TB cap and it works fine for 3 streaming on pads. I'm guessing the real problem with T-Mobile is latency??

They also have another antenna that's better if you have direct site of the tower and a 4x4 if you want to do all the antenna connections it has. I've heard that its better to do 2 2x2 antennas though but not confirmed that

Anyone know the speed of internet for this plan ?
Depends on your nearest towers, congestion in your area, overall signal quality, etc... same stuff as for mobile phone plans, but your connection should be more consistent since it isn't mobile.

That being said, I average about 300-400 mbit down and 30-50 mbit up, with occasional peaks to 700 mbit down and 80 mbit up.

I think it's more aimed towards people that have limited options. The only other option I had was ~8mbps dsl or wait forever on the starlink waitlist (others in my area have it and aren't having the best of luck with) If I had the option to have fiber I would switch to that.

Been using for about 4 months now and for the money $30 i can't complain and I stream all content. After the first few weeks I did have daily random drops that would immediately come right back up. I installed a fan on the router and have only had one quick drop in the last 3 months and that's being monitored 24/7. I do have a tower less than a mile away and a wave point exterior antenna attached. It's definitely not for everyone but again for the money it's hard to beat if you have a good cell signal nearby. I also have a few customers now using t-mobile service and they have no issues either. I constantly test 75-100mbps and know others that are around 50 and have seen some 300-500mbps
