5G Home Internet vs. phone data speeds
So I'm a Magenta Max customer and mostly happy with my service. We live in a town where the 5G can be very strong depending on time of day/which part of town you're in. So I started considering ...
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I decided to do the trial run. I've had the gateway up and running for about an hour on a Friday afternoon, which I assume is a pretty decent time to test signal strength at peak (or close to peak) usage time.
Im getting speeds ranging from 45-220 down depending on the device and the room I'm standing in, and from 7-12 up. The lowest of those numbers is still better than I'm used to from AT&T in my neighborhood. So far, so good.
One curious thing though - the video streaming is nice and fast on my work laptop. However, when I sign into my work's VPN and attempt to load one of the web pages that requires the VPN, they no longer load. The VPNs are signed in and connected, but the work-related pages that need the VPN are not loading anymore on the T-Mobile wifi. Am I just missing a setting or something?
