Cannot Reliably Connect Devices Home Internet
I changed browsers to Mozilla Firefox and it allows me to upload video to facebook with T-Mobile. Neither Chrome nor Edge would allow video uploads to facebook over T-Mobile, although it all worked fine under Verizon Home Internet. I think this points to a greater issue with T-Mobile home internet. Apps that don't account for the fact that t-mobile acts more like a cellphone and a real internet service provider fail a lot. Steam for example. It's just not very reliable over T-Mobile saying you've lost connection frequently. But apps that are designed to work in a tablet or cellphone environment know to retry more or do things somewhat differently that accounts for T-Mobiles little momentary rejections.
I see this on certain websites with Edge or Chrome on T-Mobile. The NOAA weather site for example. If you type a new zip code to look at the weather forecast in a different area, sometimes on T-Mobile it will briefly flash a "You are not connected to the internet page" before it refreshes and gives you the forecast. If you use Verizon Home internet this never happens.
Hopefully they will address this but t-mobile home internet has to be more like real internet for it to work well with PC's/Macs. This rejection or just hanging and not opening data ports confuses a lot of PC programs/apps and they are not handling it well in general. Making T-Mobile home internet somewhat impractical for regular use on Macs/PCs.
