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.

A few weeks after, it crapped out again.
Back to local cable I went.
Been 6mo now, rock solid service, no downtime. min 150M/24 / avg 350/35 / max 500/40
My unit is connected to band B2 for 4G and band N41 for 5G.
BTW T-Mobile is taking away the $5 autopay discount unless you switch to debit card. They should be sending out emails. This is for all lines, including mobile phone and TMHI so it could be quite a hefty change if you have multiple autopay discounts active and don't change off credit card.
Call again, or stop in a store. Might take a few attempts, but they sometimes let it through. Some "shady" people sign up under a different address.
Of course, make sure Tmobile works well where you are. If you have Tmobile at all, a cell antenna might help, but it voids the warranty on these if you add one. Also, you don't own this router, so if you do void the warranty, there's a return fee of a few hundred dollars when you cancel. Metro home internet (by tmobile), you do own that router, same one, and you have no need to return it.
Another option below (may include antenna connectors/easy to add, but I didn't verify if they do).
They aren't enforcing the sign up locations, at least they weren't unless they recently started, so it MIGHT work, but they also MIGHT flag it moving constantly. But that non-enforcement is why it works to sign up with another address (again, unless that's changed very recently).
Another option is Calyx internet. It's also Tmobile. And, you have to pay for the year up front, and not at this price.... The service is tied to the hotspot they send (it would take modifying another device to match to use it in something different, which isn't that hard, but is frowned upon). They've been around for a number of years, using an old Sprint agreement for the service, legit, and they are a non-profit. They are mobile plans, so should have no issue with that part.

It's too early to definitively say much, however:
- 100% uptime
- Real-world use and speed tests put bandwidth at around 400-600mbps down, 20-50mbps up
- I have successfully played FPS games without lag or other noticeable network issues.
I am pretty sure if this become a widespread problem, tmobile may start enforcing the rule more strictly. So up to someone if they want to take the risk and get caught in the future.
I would say if you plan on using it this way have backup access just in case.
A while back I asked FedEx how come they never verified whether the senders with the preprinted labels were who they said they were. They said the cost of verifying was more than any fraud they would ever catch. Sometimes it just isn't worth it to address a problem until it becomes a problem.
TMHI is lowest priority so you aren't crowding out the premium customers even if you move around. Maybe you have a slight effect on towers that are over capacity. These guys have more bandwidth than they know what to do with with their 5G buildout and are looking for Return On Investment however they can. My guess is you'll have a couple of years of free reign until 5G gets saturated.
Its marked as expired but I just checked and the plan is still available
