In socal it has been. Family hasn't noticed we switched. Speed tests can vary depending on time of day, but experience has been good. Upload speeds better than cable I had through spectrum.

Ping times can vary dramatically, so if you have any online gamers (PC, Xbox, PS5, etc) they will immediately notice a difference if the tower you are connected to is oversaturated.
TMHI is also the lowest priority on the tower, so your data will always be the last to leave the tower to the network (and on to the internet). This is not a problem if the tower has appropriate capacity, and is not overloaded. If it is overloaded, it'll be difficult to stomach.
I have this for my in-laws who don't have any other options for home internet other than satellite, and it works great for them (no DSL, no cable, in the boonies).
I also have it for my backup internet at my house to Spectrum (although an alternative $10/mo plan for 30gb of data, instead of unlimited - but it's using the same Tmo home internet router). My wife is 100% WFH, and I'm about 30-40% WFH. It has picked up the slack when Spectrum has gone down.
Also note, TMHI uses CG-NAT (carrier grade network address translation), so you can't do any port-forwarding if you host anything at your house. Not a problem for most people (as you're consuming stuff from the internet, not the other way around). There are a few technical solutions to get around this...
Best option is to give it a shot - swap it in. Don't tell the family, and see if anyone notices. If you're seeing outages and problems, you have 14 days to return the device and from what I understand, you won't pay anything (meaning, you get your bill refunded). Keep it 15 days or longer and you're just paying for the monthly service, which isn't a huge cost.
We had it for four months until fiber was installed in our area. We now have fiber and I wish we had T-mobile back!!! We loved it, but it is dependent on your area. SIL is in a remote area and everything there is spotty. I'd try it out, though!

Reiterating to try them out first to see if your location is good. Would have loved it because of that no data cap alone.

There is no way your speed should be slower with fiber. You might want to call your provider. Fiber optic is the most reliable you can get.
I need to VNC into a remote machine for my work and my T-Mobile internet isn't consistently fast enough to do this. 99% of the time it works fine, but that 1% of the time I'm getting 1MB/s of download speed and that's not fast enough. I previously had Comcast (Xfinity), but they were gouging me. They sent me a letter advertising $25/month for a slower speed than I had before, so I'll probably switch back.
We've had them out. It's not slower, but it drops out. We never noticed and dropouts with T-mobile. Just this morning, it was out for a second or two. We're paying $75 and getting drops. T-mobile was $45 for us and we didn't have drops. We were/are good on speed for both.
