I believe 35 is auto pay.

Does T Mobile have a data cap where data is throttled after usage? That's one reason I'm considering switching from Xfinity because they have a hard data cap and I thought T mobile home Internet was truly unlimited.
T-Mo announced a data cap of 1.2TB [cordcuttersnews.com]a year ago, after which you may be throttled if there is high demand. This is not the typical deprioritization that hits the entire tower but is account-specific. However, I don't think they are enforcing this yet, and with normal use (lots of day-long HD TV), we seem to typically hit about 800GB, so 1.2TB seems OK until 4K TV becomes more prevalent.

$35 is autopay, AND you must also have cell service (at least one post-paid line) with them.

If you don't have a line with them and don't do autopay (which must be via a debit card, by the way), the Rely service costs $55.

RELY:

Typical Download Speed
87 – 318 Mbps (5G)
Typical Upload Speed
14 – 56 Mbps (5G)

AMPLIFIED:

Typical Download Speed
133 – 415 Mbps (5G)
Typical Upload Speed
12 – 55 Mbps (5G)

You have to expand the sections but that's from the link to the deal.
It's the same service, but the modems/gateways provided have different antennas and can obtain different channels that can theoretically provide better speeds. I have the Rely service with the newer Sagecom modem. It has access to several very fast channels and we typically get around 200/50 during the day, up to 300/100 at night. The higher-tier services get the G4AR modem, which supports more channels and also has outside antenna ports, which you can use with an external antenna to improve reception further.

Dont see any reason why not, there is no contract. I plan to cancel as soon as i get my GC.
If the plan is canceled after 2 or 4, 6, etc. months does the Rely or Amplified internet device have to be returned or it's yours to keep?

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.
Unless you know someone in your neighborhood, asking anyone how their service will be irrelevant.

I get 300 without fail minimum. So quite happy.

Nope my monthly usage is like 8TB-16TB/month, no throttle; just speeds are slightly reduced during peak hrs or if tower is under load. So its YMMV on location. I have been with them for 2 years already because of the $25/month promo and my speed is like at least between 250-600Mbps Down/60Mbps-120Mbps Upload.

T-Mobile does not count streaming data as part of the plan's data.
Say, your plan is a 50Gb/mo data plan and you use 40Gb of those and you stream 1Tb watching Netflix, etc., you'll still have 10Gb left over.

Not sure but I think other providers like Verizon count everything as usable data.

That's great. Can the system know the difference between regualr internet usage on a laptop/desktop vs streaming on Fire Stick, Smart TV or even on a laptop? I hope that works out.

Also a question - in my home area the cellular 5G of T-Mobile isn't great (tried Metro/Mint).
Does that mean that the Home Internet would be low speed and not good?

All data streaming or not will go through the Home Internet device first where the T-Mo SIM card is located before it gets to any other devices like a PC or a smart TV through Wi-Fi or hard wired. So, it doesn't matter where you stream the content.

If your area doesn't have a reliable 5G the connection will kick to 4G which is very capable but its speeds will be 4G speeds, which of course will depend on the cell towers in your area. But T-Mobile is constantly expanding its 5G network.

Also, if the 5G signal in your area is weak, the home Internet device location in your home is critical, and it should be in a window facing the cell towers.
If you get the Amplified T-Mo device that has the external antenna connection you may want to consider getting an external 5G antenna sold by T-Mobile and by other companies like Waveform I think. But that involves an additional expense.
The Rely device doesn't have external antenna connections, so you should not get that.
