T-Mobile Added Over 406,000 5G Home Internet Customers as Cord Cutting 2.0 Grows
As cable internet providers continue to lose customers, T-Mobile has added 406,000 5G home internet customers in the second quarter of 2024. That works out to adding over 4,400 new 5G home internet customers every single day in the second quarter. This comes as both Comcast and Spectrum reported los...
I used their 5G home internet for about 6 months and it was just total dog shit compared to using easy tether with a T-Mobile cell phone. When the network gets congested, the mobile devices have priority for data. I think. When you use easy tether they have no idea that you are tethering your phone to a computer or router and never throttle your data. When you use 5G home internet, they throttle you.
Yes, home internet has the lowest priority on the network. It's very location dependent on whether it's going to work well or not. I believe they give you a 15-day trial or something like that.
I joined them based on their claim that they won't raise prices on internet services. After having been with Spectrum and seeing yearly price increases and having to go through the whole dumb process of getting promotional discounts that only last a year at a time, I just want to pay for a service that stays the same and doesn't have seemingly arbitrary price increases year after year.
I'm not totally in love with their internet, since it doesn't seem to have as many features as my previous internet provider, and it really seems to depend on location, since you're basically just getting it over the air, but it performs well enough for what I need it for most of the time.
I had it for several years until I moved to a house where it didn't work very well and ended up going with fiber from the local ISP. But I joined for pretty much the same reasons.
