Netflix limiting to one household.
I've been with T-mobile since they acquired Suncom in 2007. We have 7 devices on our plan (6 phones and a watch). Our plan was the first to offer free netflix and we're on that same plan to this day (never changed plans such as Magneta, etc., just added devices).
One of these phones (main tmobile account holder) lives in GA and the others (My Daughter and her family) live in Maryland. So how does this affect our Netflix?
Will we still be able to have netflix at both households because of the t-mobile deal? If not, will t-mobile offer something else?

From what I read is that Netflix will charge $7.99 for out of network sign ins.
The $7.99 is for direct Netflix accounts, not Netflix through third parties, such as T-Moble. The following is a copy and paste from the Netflix website. (I added the underline)
The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot, then invite an extra member to use the extra member slot. The extra member must be activated in the same country where the account owner created their account. Extra members cannot be added to Netflix-included packages or third-party billed accounts.

What is T-Mobile’s position on this?

T-Mobile is not making any changes to our Netflix benefit and are still making sure that you are able to get Netflix for your household with the On Us feature. If you are using your Netflix account in other households, then you would need to look at the extra members options through Netflix, but that would not be included in what is covered by the Netflix on Us feature on your T-Mobile account.
That's just it, my household as far as T-mobile is concerned is 2 homes, 6 phone accounts and a watch account. There was no mention of "household" when this benefit was touted, only of family allowances. In fact it still says Netflix with family allowances on my t-mobile account.
Where is this family allowance if only a single phone user is allowed access to netflix because the other 6 devices live in a different house?
Is T-mobile going to be changing it’s terms on this benefit (the same as they did by adding the word “household” when it didn’t have it before) to remove the “family allowances”?
We paid for all these lines with this benefit as part of it and expect all of these lines to be able to use this benefit. This is the way it was pitched to us to get us onto this t-mobile plan from our previous tmobile plan.
Now that netflix wants to screw customers, t-mobile is just going to be complicit in screwing us too? T-mobile will not step up for it's customers?

We do also offer Paramount+ por cuenta nuestra for $4.99 per month for the Essential version, as well as a $10 discount per month for Philo TV.

This is basically a user to user forum with some tmobile moderation so most of the posts are from users.
If you want to try and get an answer try using messenger on one of tmobile's social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter to see if they have a response.

If T-Mobile was going to offer something else I assume they would have already done so because they’ve known about this issue for a long time
