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

For FPS games, I'm teleporting all the over the place. For movies on my OLED, it makes it look like whatever is less than 480p. It'll look good when it's running fine, but the buffering and random lag spikes in between makes it too unstable to enjoy, at least in my area.
Basically YMMV, but please do research because others on T-Mobile's forum and Reddit have reported this same issue. Those reports are also a year or a few months old, so this problem still persists.
For those that only need the most basic internet--and they don't care about latency issues--then this is probably a good deal for you.

Me personally, I hope no one signs up that connects to my tower. I've had it since May 2022. $30 per month with Magenta Max. My speeds do increase late night and also during the day when everyone goes to work. Teams via VPN, streaming Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus work fine for me. Xbox, PC, and Switch multiplayer is decent. I have no complaints.
T-Mobile is offering home internet service with a modem and Wi-Fi 6 router for $25 a month for life, no long term commitment. It may be a game changer for some, for others it isn't. If it isn't, cancel the service and move on. I wouldn't recommend canceling your existing service until you have thoroughly tried it out.
My boss lives in BFE and was connecting to the work VPN via hot spot on a work issued iPhone 8 Plus. It was horrible. She signed up for T-Mobile Home Internet and loves it. She is finally able to participate on Teams without dialing in, including video.
AT&T is finally laying fiber in my zip code. Once it is available at my address I am signing up. There is no comparison. But I am grateful for the service T-Mobile has provided me at my address. My previous provider was bought out and the multiple daily outages were preventing me from doing my job. They offered to lower my existing gig cable internet to $30 a month to stay. I heard about T-Mobile Home Internet and signed up. Tried it for a month, then canceled my existing service. No regrets.
I do have four unlimited lines for $120 and no complaints about their network.
Update: I called T-Mobile directly and with my simple choice plan because I have never had internet service from them I qualify for the $25 off for life which is $25 a month today and no activation or any additional upfront fees for me. I am in the Tampa area about 5 mi from the University of South Florida. Also, the rep indicated that she had no idea that this promotion existed and in her words it just started.
This is fake news, folks!
I wish I had 100% confidence in the chat reps, but with no fee to try it, will give it a chance.

I think this "deal" is probably only for Magneta and Magneta Max plans.
