T-Mobile is required by the feds to offer a certain number of low-income units to meet 2.5 GHz spectrum licenses. They're already ramping up self-ship efforts to replace Mobile Beacon in anticipation of the agreement ending.

Yes, I realize this deal is for unlimited 5G internet access, but, depending on your use case (and the uncertainty of how long it will work), the $175 buy-in would shy me away.

I got the refund for the router this morning. I'm going to give the kuWFi C160 a try with the sim card.
I'd doubt it would take months shipping. Give it a week or two, shipping from NJ, probably snail mail.
