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.

I am interested in getting more details to use OTA antenna as i have one for local TV channels. Can you please share links with more details on re-using OTA antenna? and a link to $100 external mimo antenna please to use with OTA antenna!
OTA TV antenna is optimized for TV band, not microwave signal from 4G/5G towers. This is a low reward option to improving the transfer speed. Get a modern 5G phone and check for download speed outside the house. If you're getting more than 200Mbps, then you should be able to obtain about 100Mbps indoor if you place the T Mo unit by the windows pointing the same direction toward the transmission tower. Rotating the T Mo unit by a few degrees can significantly improve download speed.
The built-in antenna is more than adequate for +95% of the users. A better antenna may increase signal strength but also noise, which would result in minimal improvement in download speed.

Thanks coloradoman_in_socal and E4300 for the inputs.

I am getting about 160mbps inside house for download but only 5 to 7 MBPS upload on s22u on 5g UC, not sure why upload is slow.
I have ordered tmo internet anyway and will see my luck, hopefully bigger antenna on modem will upload a little faster than my phone.
The closest 5G tower is about 1.5 miles to 2 miles form my house so that may be an issue?

Upload is ~10% of download. I suspect there are too many users pulling bandwidth from that tower. A better antenna isn't going to address this problem. My speed can drop as low as 80Mbps at night. Fortunately, download speed is north of 100Mbps 99.999% of the time.

Location seems to matter greatly, even by a few feet. I was getting 40/5 or so unreliably. But moving it a matter of 2 feet closer to an opening has so far made the connection more reliable. This morning I tested 100/40, the highest I've ever got.

If you are looking for reliability then this is not it
Literally had it for 10 days and led two webinars on Teams, had dozens of calls, downloaded tons of work files and streamed non stop on Amazon Firesticks and it has not gone down once.

Welll for $25. That is the target price for us people who live in shacks.

Hundreds of devices and 6000 sq foot. You don't need $25 internet. You won't notice (the price) even if internet costed you $250.

This is not entirely correct. I am seeing 350/70 speeds, so my upstream is closer to 20% of downstream. Just FYI.

Signal quality (NOT strength) would be my best guess. I have 4-5 bars throughout the house but with negative SINR, signal-to-noise ratio. In those spots my downstream is still around 200 but upstream only around 5 or so, just like yours. When I move the gateway to a location with SINR at or above 0 the upstream goes up to 70-80 while downstream increases to 350-400. You need to play with the gateway to find the best spot in the house.

It's not using an OTA antenna. It's mounting a 2x2 or 4x4 mimo antenna to the mount and running the line along side your coax line into the house to connect to the gateway.

You are an extreme outlier in comparison to most people's internet needs in a home environment.

Large square footage doesn't always mean more money. There are huge homes in less desirable areas that cost half the price of small homes in areas where people want to live.

What is causing the signal interference in some parts of a home but not others? Other internet devices in the home?
