Great price but most of the reviews state it isnt consistant speeds and has frequent drops.

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

I had this from its inception, originally it wasn't too bad-as time went on the signal got worse and buffered like nuts, 3 TV's a pc and phone. I finally gave up after 7 months and terrible to non-existent customer service. The price is definitely tempting, btw, their newer modem was worst than their first, I had a pc fan underneath to cool it down, no difference.

If true it's a no brainer. I have the service. You can expect 100mbs-300mbs. Down time nonexistent.

Just got mine.. and ran a quick speed test ( attached ) ! Not bad.. no where as good as thru my phones ( 750+ DL / 120+ UL ) but def doable!
Very interesting and opposite to my experience. My phone runs slower than the gateway. I think the reason is that my location get weak signal and the device with more sensitive antenna gets better speed. Your location has robust signal and the device with faster processor gets the better speed.

So far so good. New Gateway is the same or better. Already disconnected the old line (different account and account holder) and apparently they don't accept returns in store so I have to mail it back using UPS. I kept the original box even the plastic wraps. Will report back if any issues on the return.

The difference between 700 and 800mbps is vitually none for online experience. The biggest problem with Comcast service in my area is the extremely asymetrical upload speed. Did you get a better upload speed after the upgread?
You're right about the download speeds. Upgrading the cable lines also won't prevent tree branches from taking them out completely, which tends to happen during winter storms for many of the hours-long outages. That said, I did fieel that some of the overhead lines after a lot of rain and moisture got degraded signals maybe more noise interference, and that combined with evening neighbor traffic congestion could slow things down. Test speeds often fluctuate between 500-700 Mbps, though today I tested a high of 860 Mbps (there's a supposed 20% overprovisioning, so optimally I could see 960 Mbps if the xFi modem can handle it).

But about the upload speeds, we actually increased speed tier a few times the last two years, not because of download but rather to increase the upload from 15 Mbps to 25 Mbps. Esp when people doing a lot of Zoom calls and social media video uploads. Not to mention the Apple devices randomly do Cloud backups and saturate the upload for up to 15 minutes, killing even simple web browsing downloads. Back when we had 15 Mbps upload, I'd regularly see 18 Mbps due to the 20% overprovisioning, but now on 25 Mbps tier, max I ever see is about 25.5 - so no improvement even with the Comcast line upgrades yesterday.

Back to the T-mobile Internet - sometimes I see 30 up, so theoretically better than Comcast, but a minute later it might drop to 10 up so not consistent. Also ping latency are typically 50-100 msec, vs <10-20 msec for Comcast. So I don't think T-mobile will give me any better experience on the things where upload matters either.

EDIT: Just double-checked, and realized my Comcast tier is only 20 Mbps up, so sometimes seeing 25.5 is actually max with the ~20% overprovisioning...

Actually the biggest problem with Comcast is and has always been Price Creep

For those who got it to work with an existing wifi router, could you comment on if you needed to change any setting on the router? I use the Apple airport extreme wifi router with my Xfinity modem. When I connect the wifi router to the T-mobile gateway, it does not get any connection. I checked the LAN ports of the gateway with direct wire connection with a laptop and it works fine. Just the model doesn't connect to the gateway.

Any setting I need to change on my Apple AE? TIA.

It says unavailable @ my address. I used a few addresses in LA / OC / IE to no avail.

Anyone in Southern California (Los Angeles County) getting this promo to work?

In reality, mobile infrastructure has much higher availablility than DSL or cable. You are less likely to have single point of failure. In the case of power outage, your DSL or cable service is likely to experience outage too. But as long as you put the home 5G gateway on a UPS, your internet is much less likely to be affected. If the concern is in the rare event that all T-mobile towers in your area go out, you can still use land line service or have a backup phone with a cheap plan from a different carrier.
In reality? Seriously? I was speaking from 1st hand experience, can't get more real than that. I think you meant to say "YMMV". And I made no mention of power outages anywhere, so not sure where that's coming from? Where my community is, we have 1 T-Mobile tower in range. There are other towers from different carriers. But when Comcast has monopoly in your community, and they go down (not necessarily due to power outage, could be cut line or a dozen other reasons), all carriers (not just T-Mobile) in my area get congested from the sudden influx of thousands of smartphones switching from wifi to cellular service. You'll be lucky to get 1 text message out from your phone in 10 minutes, let alone internet service or calls via cellular. So any cheap plan from different carrier would do zelch. Again, this actually happened to us recently for almost an entire day, so it is very real. Of course YMMV.

Go to a store and they might be able to override the address availability. They will ask you what is your reception from your phone. This is very YMMV as it depends on which rep you get and how knowledgeable they are. If you get a new guy that does know what TMHI is nor how it works you might be out of luck, so try to get the geek looking guy at the store lol.

Turns out Sprint lines don't need to lose hope! Got a text out of the blue this morning stating my (swac) account has been migrated to tmo billing. Went right down to the tmo store after that then signed up and walked out the door with my gateway no problem!

I get ~450/20 in the most ideal but least convenient spot in my home, but upper 200's/low 300's down and around 15 up simply placing it where my cable modem sat which is NOT in an ideal spot for best reception. Decided to take that hit on speed for the location convenience. I'm happy with it! Great deal!
When you log into tmobile and view your accounts/lines/bills does it still redirect you to sprint to view? Or does it stay on tmobile?

I have an Advantage Unlimited Premium, Advantage Unlimited and Unlimited on Us plan on my account. Curious what you had for reference and comparison. TIA

Got one for our office and it's great so far (about 300mbps down on 5G UC). However, I've noticed that if my TMo iPhone uses the wifi for calling, the call fails after a few seconds each time. Happened on my wife's phone, too. For the price, I don't care much, but something to note.

Got a text saying I was migrated to T-Mobile billing, and had to set some basics up for the T-Mobile login (login credentials stay the same), and that was it. I couldn't even log in to the sprint app any,ore. 100% native T-Mobile after that. Went right down to the local store to get the $25 internet shortly after that.

Any particular reason why you want to use the AE? Technically the T-Mobile router could provide faster WI-FI speeds than the AE.
