If this is anything like T-Mobile's service I'd stay away. I'd frequently get downloads speeds of kbps and had frequent drop offs. Could not even stream YouTube many times.
That depends on your market and your local towers. Will always be YMMV as cell infrastructure varies from site to site. And if it is a nationwide issue for you it may be a hardware issue.

So, this post brings up another point.I was considering Tmobile home internet but if other providers can do the same thing using the Tmobile platform for lower price, then it would be worth it.My concern is that this company will belly up or have issues and I am stuck with a 175 brick like Netzero modem that cost about 200 bucks which I got a charge back from my credit care company when they stop doing the free internet (you had to buy the modem)But I do need reliable coverage and I need to know the speeds and latency.
It's a risk. I mean there aren't many services out there that offer unlimited 5G for these prices. You should calculate how this compared with T Mobile or Verizon home internet and how many months of using this gets you a better value. I see Verizon and T Mobile are $35 per month with an existing phone line. Within 8.75 months this device would save you more money than using those services. If this company makes it that far, you've already won the deal. If you're looking for just internet backup, T-Mobile's $20 may be better overall assuming you really are only using it for backup (120gb cap).I also found this service:https://pcsrefurbished.com/sales/...hatgpt.com

I bought it, there were no requirements of proof of income or anything at all.
when try to order they just ask your name, email and phone number not delivery address. are they email you back and ask for any sort of income proof.

Are there better options for a mobile hotspot at the <$175 price point? I see that C4P directly offers the T10 LTE hotspot, which makes me think their service runs off T-Mobile.

If so, would this be a possibility for 5G? https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-W...B0F739S28K

I consistently get 100 Mbit with T-Mobile Home Internet. Can get more in certain parts of town.

Problem is that I'm currently on T-Mo Home Internet! Not many options here though they're running Quantum fiber around now. Orange cables and flags all over town so we shall see! Maybe then the T-Mo backup will suffice. I'm also 100% WFH but could drop this SIM into a spare phone and hotspot it? Or better yet - take the day off and blame the boss for not covering my internet expenditures. Smilie
#jealous Re: Quantum!

If you got this as backup internet to your Tmo Home Internet (assuming we're not talking Tmobile Fiber), you'd be using the same provider as you currently have- Tmo. Same towers, same backbone, I don't see that providing any additional "downtime" coverage.

lol @ company covering home internet.

I pay the $10/mo so I don't have to hear it from the wife if our primary provider goes down Big Grin

I would think SIM could be dropped into an unlocked or maybe T-mo phone and turn on hotspot feature in settings. I was looking at the cheaper and refurb stuffs on AMZN but have not yet pulled trigger. Might be okay to order "free" SIM and try it out.

Oh, I'm ditching T-mo home internet as soon as I can get that orange line installed (scheduled for this Thursday!) Quantum is CenturyLink here but being purchased by AT&T I think?

This would be a fallback to T-Mo if Q is down.

I got the TMobile 5G internet about 18 months ago and I have been pleased with the service. I bought it as a backup to Xfinity which went out once in awhile and had data caps back then. The caps have been lifted in our area I think, so I am thinking of turning in the modem and canceling to save the $51.40/mo I pay for service that is fairly reliable and gets 100 - 200 mps. My Xfinity line is 1.2 gps and I am paying $85/mo.

Truly YMMV depending on where you live another other factors. If they had a trial that would be the way to go.

"fully unlocked and portable" in the OP and the link if a person clicks it.
The Shield 5G Home Router is fully unlocked and portable. It works with most SIM cards and supports 5G, 4G, and 3G networks. The Shield 5G Hotspot, however, is locked to work only with our Shield Internet plan. <- the second half says that it's locked only to shield internet plans. It's really weird because it says it's a shield 5g home router. So.. wth

I tried out T-Mobile 5G service last year when I got a $25/mo deal. Service was actually good. Bad was that there was no option to configure the router to allow options for things like port forwarding, etc. so wasn't able tp access some media services outside my home like I could before the switch. If you don't care about such things then I recommend it of you have good access to a tower.
