velocidad
I just got set up yesterday. Sometimes my speeds are 250-300, then suddenly it 60. I've tried resetting the router which works sometimes, but WTH? I'm trying to test this out in the month to see if i...
Review the Open Internet policies at:

These legal disclosures are what were required by the FCC in the big brouhaha over network neutrality a few years back. Careful what you ask for with government agencies. As noted there, " T-Mobile Home Internet (available in select locations) customers receive the same network prioritization as Heavy Data Users..."
As a result you’ll be more impacted during congested periods than those who have greater priority.
I'd personally take that 60 mbps any day over my pitiful 12 mbps (frequently much less) using my phone's hotspot but alas TMHI isn't yet available in my area. Sure wish we could get a good signal more than ½ mile of the interstate - I suppose I could by some property in the median of I-95.
Regularly run some speed tests throughout the day and a pattern may emerge that you can use to predict lightly used time periods to your advantage is you really need the 250-300 mbps speeds. Most activities don't really require or use that much bandwidth other than large file or game downloads (or multiple users).
Give me a consistent, reliable, 24-7 25 mbps 24-7 at I reasonable price and I’m good.
Check to see your network stats on the TMHI app.
Its possibly that your device is going from N41 5G to N71
I may often have n41 and speeds will be ~400Mbps. Then, during other times, I'll end up on N71, and speeds will be ~170Mbps (a bit worse today, possibly with schools back in session).
If your area is ‘worse’ for signal/coverage, then it will worse overall.
Ironically, being wireless, much of this is more due to signal and overall capacity (NATGW?). Capping you at 25Mbps, would probably end up with performance that feels like 3G at best.
