Note: You'll find complaints here about reliability or speed, but this varies by region. Many people have no problems. That's part of the reason they let you try it out cheaply. People also have different needs, so someone with typical bandwidth usage may be fine, and someone with demanding needs may or may not.

Additional, 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).
There are enough posts just in various Tmobile Home internet thread that said they get into speed/ping and disconnect issues especially during peak hour and it is for something important like work from home (or online gaming, etc) that they switch back to other ISP.
If you have time, go read all the posts in those threads. Remember Tmobile doesn't guarantee the minimum speed you get. If you do get this, don't cancel your old ISP right away. Try out few months first and then decide if this is right for you. Hopefully you can get a better picture what kind of speed, ping, and disconnection, etc you get after those few months.
And people should stop asking what's the speed they may get or how stable it is. As many posts before in various thread 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 various Tmobile Home Internet deal, the chance of winning this "location speed/ping lottery" is getting slimmer.
Pretty easy to understand when each cellphone tower can only handle so many devices (or home internet users) and up to certain speed share by all the Tmobile users in that area. Each person may get xxx mbps download (and certain ping). When more and more people signup with various Tmobile Home Internet deal, the cellphone tower capability for each person/device will decrease (in certain area may decrease dramatically) when add these many new users to each cellphone tower. That download(and ping) number is not going to stay the same after adding so many people. So whoever posted their number, that number may change after potentially many people joining their area with various deals.
Also, if you live near place like shopping plaza, church, school, community center, park, etc which a lot of people come and go, there may be significance number of people joining your cellphone tower (at certain time of day, etc) which affect your speed/ping, etc at various time of the day.
Tmobile Home Internet has lower data priority than cellphone user. So if there are a lot of cellphone users using the cellphone tower your Tmobile Home Internet connect to, since Home Internet data has lowest priority, it is the first thing that get slow down.
The first two months were a bit rough. My wyze cameras would stutter and only show a frame every 2-4 seconds. I messed with my ubiquiti router settings and eventually I feel like it fixed itself. I haven't really thought about it. Just works. No complaints from the Netflix watchers. I'm very happy with it.
Though supposed to be 30Mbps to 180Mbps - mostly on the lower side.
Returned it in less than a month.
The return experience was annoying when I took the modem to a nearby TMo store (does TMo have franchisees?). Initially said they will not accept it and later said they can take it but cannot guarantee when they will send it back. I signed up and got the modem from the same store though.
Asked me to return the modem to the corporate stores or UPS.

I live in a Condo where the only alternative that will service my address is Spectrum and since the complex has no choice they want $80.... so T-Mobile Internet has been a lifesaver for me.
