I recommend their internet service. Me and my girlfriend have it and it's not only faster than what we had from Spectrum with better reliability and surprisingly about the same latency. It's perfectly fine for gaming and we're usually streaming on multiple devices and gaming at the same time.
Terms and conditions state "Activate qualifying new Home Internet line between 11/21/24 and 1/15/25".
FWIW I submitted for the December promo and I'm still waiting. 6-8 weeks is what they say. Pretty happy with the service though, I use a Keep Connect and reset every 2 days and have had almost no issues.

So today is the last day (I'm in CA) for the deal? Got 2 hours to decide. I have the $175 capital one offer also

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.

Good luck even getting the home Internet if you live in the densely populated area I live in an area with a lot of apartments and it's not available because they can only allow so many customers not to overload the system. My mom lives on the other side of town where there's no apartment buildings and just nice houses and it was available. Supposedly I've been on a waiting list for two years.

Anyone compared this to Fios? I currently have 1GB for about $75/mo...I'm sure it's overkill but they make it hard to downgrade to 500mbps.
1) It only $35 if you have phone service with them. Other wise its $60-$70.
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.

Not seeing the rebate option for the lowest cost plan - only the Amplified Home Internet $45 /month with postpaid line and above shows the promotion

Canceled my ATT Fiber and got this for $30/month flat with $200 visa gc back 5 months ago. Loving it. Had a little trouble redeeming the gc and CS couldn't get it to work, so they sent me a check instead.

I always tell folks that location matters. I'm glad you're having a good experience, but I just can't imagine that's everyone.

I just bought the service two days back and haven't yet received the router so registration is yet pending. Will I be automatically upgraded from $200 to $300 promotion?
I also had the other promotion of Capital so worried if calling tmobile would cancel the other promotion.

Please advise

Try reaching out to T-Mobile care team on social media or calling the rebates department. If you were eligible but got denied, they should be able to honor it.
I was misled by TMobile to the tune of about $600 and they wouldn't help. Did a bad review on facebook and they reached out and gave me a $600 statement credit right away.

What's the dl/UL speeds? Specifically the UL speeds as DL is always good enough ; minus the lowest low speeds.
As others say, location matters. Describing the location here and how it works. It's a long post, feel free to skip, just trying to point out for the people that ask "how fast" aren't going to get a universal answer.

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 hear T-mobile is hard for them to honor stuff like this. The 300 GC

I was able to get my fire tv and the gift card pretty easily last year.

IME you won't even get 500mb with this. it also gets slower the more people in your area start using it. If you're okay woth slower speeds it is cheap and it works

I use a Keep Connect
Could the same be accomplished with a smart plug?

I got this a few months ago and am happy with the service. Just be careful with the billing. I didn't receive the router until a week after I placed the order, but my billing started the day of the order. As did my trial period. A call to customer service made things right, but it was still a pain.

Ordered the $60 plan since thats the only one with the 300 GC.

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.

Consider yourself lucky! I tried T-Mobile Home Internet mid-2024 and it was horrible. They signed me up as a customer even though the two cell towers near me were oversold (too crowded). They didn't have enough capacity to offer me reliable service, but signed me up anyway. I experienced 5-minute outages multiple times a week for about 3 months. Called Customer Service regularly the first two weeks, they tried to help but told me (honestly) that the towers were too crowded, there were capacity issues and one of the towers was undergoing maintenance as well (so even less capacity). I got 1 month of free service and another 1/2 month service credit for all the hassle. I stayed as long as I could to get my $300 cash rebate, then went back to Comcast/Xfinity for a 2-yr contract ($35/month for 300mbps speed).

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.
