I've had it for over 8 months now in Sanford NC and it saved us big time! We bought a house that has no cable TV access and we did not know it until it was too late and we both are working from home. I do not do any gaming but have had 3 different computers on video conference meetings at the same time and it worked perfect. I am very impressed and greatful. So far so good, thinking about switching our phone service now to T-Mobile also. Even stormy weather does not seem to affect it. Nothing like satellite!

I switched from cable Internet a while back. Paying only $30/month for TM, and get better speeds and way more consistent connections than I did with cable costing 3x as much. It definitely helps that I live near a major city, so we have towers everywhere. My connection is always "Excellent" no matter the weather.

I couldn't sign up for it online but I did go into the store. He warned me that if you're out of range of a 5G tower, it will not work (obviously). At my home (in MA), I get only 2 bars "weak signal" but still getting over 100mbps download consistently. I purchased this for an off-grid property in New Hampshire with no address. I'll let you know how I make out after I test at the property. Thanks for the content, it went exactly how you laid it out.

I got my T-Mobile internet last year and absolutely love it!!! I have lots of devices connected with great speeds and no glitching. I also have T-Mobile cell service and with my discounts I pay $30 a month for the Internet portion. 👍🏼

Just ordered this from T-Mobile. Can’t wait to get rid of Spectrum and save $30.00 a month

I have had TMobile 5G for a little over a year and really like it compared to Cox internet. I have the same looking router that you unboxed, but mine is probably generation older. I can get download speeds of anywhere from 225 to 320. My upload speeds are anywhere from 80 to 130. Yes I love the price lock of $50.00 I have a TMobile tower somewhere in the range of 500 to 1000 feet from my living room window and can see it perfectly. I did connect a second external router to it.
Like you said in your comment about the cable company in your area. I would get at most 125 to 150 down and 30 up with Cox in Virginia.

Funny as I placed this by the window as recommended and got 4 bars, awesome, decided to take it down stairs where my older setup was and 5 bars!.😂

1 week and so far so good..

I’ve had it for about a week now so far so good works well with gaming

I have had T-Mobile internet for a little over a year and I have not had a good experience. The download speeds are amazing, quickly being able to finish a game install to get into gaming. The gaming part, and the actual latency/ping side of it is terrible. I have never in my life had a worse experience with any sort of internet. I get average of 120 ping in every game I go and I can almost never play an entire match in any game, without lagging. The other day I was playing rainbow six siege with a friend, and I literally couldn't move. The lowest ping I had that game was around 87, and the highest reached heights of almost 2, 000! No that was not a type 2 0 0 0. 3 zeros. That was a very bad part of it, but normally its from 70-1000. I have never thought in my life I would ever have to deal with, not lag spikes, but complete and total lag. I am disconnected from games 24/7. I sometimes can't MOVE in games. I have teleported back to location I wasn't in for over 2 minutes. I have had a terrible experience with this internet and I do NOT recommend it for gamer type people.

[Badatitude]

I have had it for about 6 months or more...its not the greatest speeds, but i do know we are far from full 5G completion too.

[markallisonmc]

My T-Mobile first came online in January 23 16:35 it was awesome up 50 downloads as high as 800. In 8/23 it all went to pot. It completely drops like 10 tmes a day and speeds have dropped to up 14 down 40. But the biggest issue is it drop to 0over0 very hour. Im thinking about going back to Comcast 😢ugh

We ported our phones from Verizon to T-Mobile for the senior citizen plan recently. We already have Spectrum cable internet which we kept and reduced the speed on it to save money. Then I called the local T-Mobile store and picked up the TMHI device since there is a 5G tower nearby. I read on Youtube that adding a home router to the TMHI box would improve the speed and range. I ordered the ASUS RT-AX55 from Amazon which is plenty fast for the TMHI connection. It's not quite as fast as the cable internet connection but very acceptable speeds. I recommend the RT-AX55 ethernet connection to the TMHI box.

I have a 3 story home built in the late 1800 and I also recently switched to T-Mobile 5G internet and added a mesh network and I am getting fantastic upload and download speeds for $50 a month with autopay.

[Girlwatchingtheworld]

We've had T-Mobile Internet for a year now and it's been great. We live in SW Washington and our tower is over a mile away and we see speeds over 350 to 700 MBPS down (depending on time of day) and average 50+ MBPS up. Compared to our old service that charged us 3 times as much for 75MBPS down and 5MBPS up...yeah, I think we're staying with T-Mobile. 😊

[weedtux]

thank you for this video, I live in manteca california and also have been a t-mobile customer for almost two years now and I don't have a problem with the cell service, I pay for the unlimited plan since I use my phone outside a lot for a bunch of stuff like youtube, music, etc. My room is separate from the house and with our comcast router in a dumb place and it's wifi signal not being the best, I have resorted to wifi extenders and it works okay for what you want, but me I can't really use it for much, like playing video games it sucks. Whenever I download a games it takes forever, like won't be done until tomorrow night takes forever, and even streaming shows and anime are sometimes sluggish, even youtube can sometimes suffer slow speeds from my extenders. I've been looking at reviews before I went and ordered one and honestly the speeds it gives off look super good and I'm super close to a 5g cell tower in my town, on my phone I usually get full or 4 bars of signal and it still runs fine day and night. I've ordered it already and I can't wait to use it, it looks awesome, thank you for the video again, it was super informative and entertaining, keep up the videos mate.

[ebonymanoftheyear]

I have T-Mobile home internet and I just switched out the modem for the same one you have and it has gotten faster. I’m getting around 570 down

[Heather-gpef]

I just ordered this equipment too. I'm very excited to see how it goes 😊

[skinykeny]

It sucks for me. I so wish I could dump Spectrum but T-Mobile just isn’t there yet.

[Atlanticmantic]

T-mobile can be great but the ping sucks and when they decide to deprioritized you it sucks as you drop below 1Mbps often. Most of the time they deprioritize you when you are online the most but they wont do it for the first 15-20 days, after that watch out. ( after work/nights. ) Also you will never get 5 bars, I am right next to my tower and I am at 4 bars. It's Like 200 yards away.
