Home Internet, Tech Support and App is Terrible. Going Back to Cable
Short Version Home Internet, more issues than it is worth. Tech support is really bad and gives you false information which you know is false. Had a supervisor disconnect me but never called back. O...
Tmobile needs to get their messaging right on cell internet service. Basically, Tmobile or any other carriers' internet service via cell data is meant for the following:
- You want a cheaper option than what you have now, but willing to live with lower data speeds and higher latencies. "Cheaper" includes no fees for equipment and no long term contracts.
- Your location doesn't have cable or fiber internet options leaving you with very expensive options like satellite. Cell data MAY work but performance will on the low end.
- If you RV and willing to pay for the RV plan, then this is a good option. Not all that different than hotspot from a tech perspective, but the RV internet plan is unlimited data.
Basically if you have fast, reliable internet options with cable or fiber there is no reason to try Tmobile unless you are in category 1. In no scenario will you get better internet service from any cell data based solution compared to cable or fiber.
At least Tmobile and other cell carriers are putting pressure on the near monopoly of cable internet providers to lower their prices.
