Home Internet Issues/Rant
I've had T-Mobile home internet for about a six weeks. The first three weeks it was awesome. My speeds were between 20-70mbps. I live in a rural area and my land line DSL would top out at 10mbps on a...
Agreed it’s more like we are Beta testers as I don't think the logic in the gateway is fully baked yet and IMO they need more user feedback imput to get things improved before prime time.
Seems the farther 5G tower from me got a huge upgrade test with my phone are looking good 650 down and 100 up. Issue I have is this tower is 3 miles to the SW and I only get those speeds in one window. So it's like a sweet spot for that tower but issue is I cannot get the 4G tower reliable from that window so if the 5G drops I am dead no fall back to 4G. This is the reason I ordered the outside ant I can place it outside that window aim it between the SW 5G and the W 4G and testing with phone shows promise. Currently the can is in a W window where it sees the W 4G tower very well and stays locked like a rock on it. But from there it cannot see the 5G to the SW or the closer 2 miles away 5G tower to the NW. Also the 5G to the NW has not been upgraded so max speeds near the tower are just over 200.
My best hope is to be able to get onto the SW upgraded 5G tower with the W 4G tower as the prime but seems I will need an outside ant to get into a position to do this. Also hoping for a 10db gain from the ext ant so that will put me -90 for both towers.
I have not moved my can to the S window because the fast 5G signal disappears at times. I found out that is from the tower upgrade that is still not scheduled to be completed for 2 more weeks.
But I really do feel like a Beta tester but I am paying full price for the privilege.
I feel TM should pick some users as tester this would improve the product we could test new FW and give feedback.
