This service is very oversold in many markets. I am on it currently, and it went completely to pot after the $25 promo in December. If I had any other option, I would jump at it, this service is so unreliable I have to use my phone much of the time. If you are lucky, this could be a great budget option, but most are going to be in internet hell! Rant over...😄

FWIW, I switched to this service in December to take advantage of the $25/mo offer. I've been very impressed by the speed and reliability. Speed Test results are typically around 600 down and about 300 up, but it goes without saying that your results will most definitely vary by location/market, time of day, router placement, etc. I'm fairly sure you have a trial period (and there's no contract anyway), so it's a low or no risk option to try it out.

I have been a TMHI customer for a year and a half, and the last 3 months have been miserable. I am located in Central Florida. For more input from other users you can check out the TMHI subreddit, many are having the same issues I am. https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobileisp/#sort=new

your satisfaction depends on the location you are, as the cell coverage varies widely. In my case tmobile 5g($25 promo) is much better than verizon 5g. I kept both as I WFH all the time and cannot afford downtime. Better try it before relying on anyone's experience.

Note, please don't rep me as I am trying to stay below 100.

You sound rural, most likely its tons better.

TMHI was a Godsend for us country folk with no other wired options.
City folk have tons of wired options.
I was previously paying almost $90/mo for "25 down" point to point wireless (really it was about 7 down at best).
Have had TMHI for over 2 years, not a single down time or even change in speed. While other folks in town are complaining about ATT or cable outages, TMHI keeps chugging along. My speeds are about 300 down and 150 plus up (cat5 to router), or about 100 down and 50 up (wireless to router) or about 60 down and 40 up (wireless to wireless extender).
You can locate towers at cellmapper dot net.
And its free trial for TMHI

For the last 2 months(from Dec.8.2022) we are very happy with T-Mobile home internet...
Had a great pleasure to call Optimum and tell them to go **** them self, with their prices that keep going up every year or 2...
T-mobile service in NYC is really great(we are 0.02ml from the tower).And $25 a month for life?
I mean, come on!!!
No more monopoly for Optimum like it use to be. We have Verizon, T-mobile...

It'll all depend on your location to the tower and how dense the subscriber base is around you. I got in on the $25 deal, have a 5Guc tower about 50 yards away from me and my connectivity and speed is rock solid. Get 600mb down and 150up consistently. Dropped my cable internet like a hot potato. If you're close to a tower, you won't regret it.

You are welcome. This service is prioritized lower than phone services, so if your phone gets slow this will be slower still. At peak load times TMHI becomes useless in my area. I think they need to at least have a minimum service speed, especially if they are calling this a "Home Internet" option. I would pay $100 a month for cable internet, but they never ran cable on my street.😕
I disagree. I've seen zero drop in speed versus what I pull down on my phone. Been running 24/7 since December, no issues.

Quote from goodness97 :
On a serious note, how reliable is T-mobile internet compared to AT&T fiber internet. Currently, att is about $65 for 500 mbps.
There are few threads related to T-Mobile 5G home internet. The consensus is stop asking how reliable T-mobile internet is because it is totally depend on location. Someone can say NYC (or .... ) area but even few blocks from each other, the signal you get may be different since the distance from the tower is different.

Think of it this way, when you are traveling around with your cellphone, is there some place you have no signal and some place you have good signal? If you go to some place that has no (or very poor) signal, in reality, you can't even connect to internet or very slow. If you are at some place that has very good signal, then depend on how crowded the cellphone tower you connect to, it can be <10Mbps (extremely crowded) to >500Mbps (not very crowded).

If you go back and read all the posts in those Tmobile 5G home internet threads, many people has posted all kind of different speed. I think people should take what number people post with a grain of salt.

As many posts before mentioned, the speed and ping varies by location. Location will play a huge role in stability and consistency of connection. Kind of like a "location lottery".

And when you add tons of new users because of this deal, the chance of winning this "location speed/ping lottery" is getting slimmer. And this deal likely has big impact to existing home internet users also.

Remember Tmobile doesn't guarantee the minimum speed you get. The only way you know is try out few months first and then decide if this is right for you. And you can't figure out how reliable it is based on using it for one day. Time of day (and or day of week) also matter if you live in crowded area. Many people here mentioned certain time of the day, the speed is acceptable. But during the time when most people home using internet, the speed is so slow or inconsistent that playing YouTube video may stop for few seconds for buffering every min or few mins. And that also mean during long holiday like Christmas, Thanksgiving, the usage pattern may be different and have to adjust your own usage if the speed suddenly become very slow. People also mentioned weather also affect 5G signal especially if you are a bit further away from the 5G tower. Good weather day during off peak hour, the speed may be decent even if you are a bit further away but during bad weather, the speed may be inconsistent.

Or you can go with the $10 option that hundreds, maybe thousands of people have been getting for almost a year.

I don't understand why people are happy to save $5 but don't want to do ten minutes of reading to pay a third of the price
I don't understand why people make cryptic comments they can not prove. Yet here we are.
