I just go ahead and get it. With $475 back it pays for itself for a year. Will get my brother on it and cancel his $85/month spectrum service
No, today isn't the last day. It started today.
2) Speed wise I can only speak to my experience 2 years ago. The tower was the next street over about 300 ft from my house. I was able to get 600-800 mb down and 80-120 mb up.
Generally speaking if I were you I would stick with the fiber internet. It might be overkill but unless you can get the cheaper rate due having phones with them you will most likely pay a similar amount for much slower speeds.
The only issue I had was I needed to use my own router for a vpn to my parents. I signed up for their business line and had a public static ip. I could access some sites some times but not others. One computer would work and the one next to it would not. No one was ever able to figure out why. I eventually figured out that I believe the issue was the MTU size needed to be lower but I was unable to test that as I had cancelled my service. This isn't an issue if you use their router.
I also had the other promotion of Capital so worried if calling tmobile would cancel the other promotion.
Please advise

Extremely rural area, houses average miles apart, no cities. T-Mobile came into the area for the first time a couple years ago. Their equipment is on the Verizon tower over 10 miles away. Verizon only offers band 13, does about 10Mbps max here. T-Mobile has no usable signal without a roof antenna (unlike Verizon). Does about 130Mbps near the tower, and about 100 here.
Internet options here for comparison -
There are no land Internet options here since dialup. Up until a year and a half ago I was using Verizon. Fiber is supposed to be coming this summer, if it matches town it will be 100Mbps at about $100 (the speed is what the funding states). Low demand area for Starlink, $90/month, and $100 discount for signing up. And it averages over 200Mbps.
I'm actually using a Metro phone SIM in a router, my understanding is it's the same priority as T-Mobile Home. The router was $450 and the upgraded antenna I needed, since my old one didn't support T-Mobile, was $400. At the time they didn't offer home Internet here. There is no noticeable fluctuation in speed with the time of day here (no congestion).
I was able to get my fire tv and the gift card pretty easily last year.
Spectrum sucks and my bill keeps increasing due to falling off promos. currently 60, but increasing to 85 in august. Absolutely absurd.
I even gave them a last chance by speaking to a rep, if they can give me some discounts or i'll leave. they wouldnt budge, so here i am.

When the service did work, it was OK. Not as consistent or reliable as Comcast cable modem internet. Also T-Mobile doesn't give you a static IP (Comcast does, in my area; though the static IP can and does change periodically). For anyone who signs up for T-Mobile Home Internet (TMHI), I recommend keeping your existing internet service for several weeks before you cancel it to make sure TMHI works well for you. That way if there are issues you can cancel TMHI and send the equipment back.
