Mint Mobile 5G Home Internet prepaid $30/month for existing & new mint mobile phone customers offici... [mintmobile.com]
With Mint's 3 month plan you pay $90 if you already have a mint phone plan or you can purchase it at the same time as your buy a 3 month to 12 month phone plans. Prior to this Mint would invite select phone customers to get the reduced rate internet.
They don't have the $35 install fee like you could get from parent company T-mobile. You get the older G4AR gateway vs the newer faster G5AR version at T-mobile.
Nater Tater [youtube.com]shows the difference in speed between these two gateways. Although the Internet plan says it is unlimited after 42 gb your internet is deprioritized with Tmobile phone customers.
You can try it for free for 14 days if you wish. All of this will be shipped by Mint mobile to you instead of going to a T-mobile store since tmobile only carries the newer gateway. You could also try the service for free with T-mobile although their gateway will be faster. Hope this helps.

I suppose you could torrent stuff, but you're probably torrenting video which is virtually the same thing. video is the heaviest files around for the most part.

I usually don't have issues with throttling unless I've downloaded a couple big games, which also makes me apprehensive about downloading stuff that's new. I downloaded Stalker 2 and then they had a HUGE patch like less than a week later, and before the month was over they had another huge patch. I had to say nah because I was looking at 300gb+ total for a game that I was only playing on gamepass.
Intro Offer
3 Months
$40/mo
$120 upfront payment required
What am I missing? Maybe I need to log in first? EDIT: Yes it then shows up... but notwhen I add to cart ..it shows up 40 per month and 120...not $90
"Save $10/mo on Home MINTernet when you add a phone plan
You can add a phone plan to your order at cart. But if you already have a Mint phone plan, simply call 844-646-8638 to buy Home MINTernet at the discounted rate"
edit: i did call and tried to set things up (i really want to drop Spectrum they are kind of scummyish). but he couldnt set it up and the csr will call me back. they csr's do have a quota or whatever as told by the csr.
To those that have the prepaid mint mobile phone plan kits from target or best buy. It may be in your best interest to activate a plan you paid $30 or $45 for if it's going to save you $120 off the home ethernet. You are going to want to do that BEFORE you pay for 12 months of service if it's all prepaid and nothing says you have to keep the plan after those 3 months it it's already paid for. Someone correct me if any of that is wrong.

Use a router..configure everything to use it and let it control wifi. Turn wifi off at the gateway and just use the ethernet cable to the router's wan. Since this is cellular and you are going to have to use a vpn that supports port forwarding if you want incoming access to your ports the extra nat situation won't really be a factor. The dedicated routers give better wifi range typically and you can run custom firmware, change the ttl to bypass throttling etc.
If you give the router the same name as your existing device and/or clone the mac or setup some internal port forwarding then reconfigure should be minimal.
I like the idea but if you can't stream what's the point? ..Also I am confused..... it says<br />

Never experienced a throttle or even gotten a warning, have regularly exceeded 1tb in a month streaming nonstop and downloading PS5 game updates. Funny it works better in the middle of f-all in my RV with towers way further than at home. I guess my home tower is oversold so I'm glad I use Visible/VZW for cell.

TMHI never geolocked, it was a scare (or stupid idea to toy with) and it cost them a lot of customers, so they never implemented it. I've been using mine all over the country for almost 2 years. It's been plugged in at my house where it's registered for a whopping 2 weeks in that time period, mainly to test if it's still awful here (it is) despite being less than half a mile from a tower.
