I'M GOING TO VERIZON AFTER 21 YEARS ...GATEWAY IS THE WORST MISTAKE EVER
WHERE DO I START???? I was so excited on FEBRUARY 2ND 2022 to install the Tmobile home internet Gateway. It was supposed to take 15 minutes...it ended up being 8 hours to get it to work correctly I s...

My T-Mobile internet was out for the first time this morning for about 60 minutes or less. (It's been slow some recent mornings, too, for less than 30 minutes, with speeds way below hundred, when usually the download speeds are 200-300 something.) My connection speed was showing "very good" on the tower, while it's usually only "good". My eero 6+ pods were even showing at first they were connected to the internet, even though there was no internet on any device, only a connection to the network. I unplugged and restarted the tower and eero a few times. Went to the T-Mobile Internet app, which was no help, and started thinking of going back to Cox.
Seriously, while I have the time to work out internet connection problems, as well as have no important need to be on the internet, I simply don't have the patience any longer to talk to tech reps or keep trying various things to fix modem or router problems. Cox appears to have resolved their issues on my street, too, as the telephone/internet modem shows. The eero mesh system has also never misfunctioned. Yet Cox is nowhere near as fast as T-Mobile and I love the idea of having a totally wireless internet connection, not one where a repair person has to come out when they can get here.
I'm going to get another eero pod, however, because I'll need one if I go back to Cox. Right now, though, I'll stick with T-Mobile. The internet outage this morning was no big deal and fixed itself, unless all the unplugging did it. But if I ever start having some of the chronic problems many who post here have, I will be gone. And drjim, I have no doubt whatsoever you are a real T-Mobile internet user, not a T-Mobile shill. When T-Mobile internet works, it can't be beat, in my opinion.
