5G Home Internet T-Mobile Gateway needs to be fixed. There are too many internet disconnections.
Let me start by saying I do like having wireless internet. The problem is I don't think it is ready for primetime. Speed is great, price is great, but It loses its connection to the internet about on...

So my question is, what's the deal? My cell phone has outstanding service and hotspot but the stupid can can't handle more than one device connected to it at a time, which basically makes streaming video almost impossible. It buffers every minute or so. It's ridiculous.
Cities sometimes have their towers limited in a direction they are broadcasting, like 40 degrees instead of 360 degrees, as they might be in a rural area. They limit their transmission angles because of signal conflicts with other providers. If your house happens to be in some kind of dead zone, it's just unlucky.
Get back to us if your speed improves and good luck with it.
Yes so true we think of towers as 360 and just not the case. Just because you have a tower half a mile away and in direct line of sight does not mean that any of its antennas are pointed in your direction.
