Home internet down

It is true the T-Mobile home internet is via a cellular signal. It is also true the cellular handsets and the stationary "gateways" share resources. For anyone to believe a cellular vendors using 4G LTE and 5G NR technology with no land line is doing something different it is curious. The service is NOT down everywhere and it does provide a very reasonable alternative in some locations. The delivery of cellular signals to all locations is not equal. If subscribers needs demand beyond what the local cellular solution is capable of delivering at least T-Mobile does not lock users into a contract with excessive fees and restrictive terms. Unsatisfied customers can always go to another vendor with minimal pain other than maybe getting locked into a contract and higher costs every month.

Here we had only three options for internet service. T-Mobile, HughesNet, or Starlink and that has NOT changed in the past +2 years. One vendor provides antiquated cable delivery to a very select and limited number of subscribers and their track record is horrible. The cellular service here is available and pretty reliable with more than sufficient bandwidth for user needs. Is it a perfect solution for every need? No, it does not provide "everything" but for the cost is is a very good solution. The other two vendor options came with MORE costs and were less desirable in multiple ways; contracts and fees, and yearly negotiation for keeping costs in line. The T-Mobile solution has lower latency than the satellite offering and works well here. I agree 100% the solution is NOT good in some locations. The reality is that it is a viable solution in some locations and is NOT always down. Everyone needs to evaluate their needs and wants and decide on the solution before they make assumptions. Research, evaluate, decide.
