How hard is it for a non-tech person to switch to TMobile home internet?
Up front, I am a "senior citizen" and non-technical. But I can still read a bill, and I really want to switch to TMobile home internet to save money. We have not had any options in Tampa, FL besides ...
Its not that difficult. One of the more time consuming parts is trying to find the best location for the gateway. There is plenty of info available on how to do that. Set up is done via the app. Once you complete setup you will need to reconnect any devices to the new network. Things like your Roku and your phones. They will all require the new network name and password to connect. If you use your cable companies modem as a router as well it will be very similar. If you have a separate router, for simplicities sake it will be easier to use the T-Mobile gateway for wifi access and not try to connect a router.
Also, since there is no contract you have nothing to lose by trying it. Get the gateway, set it up and try it out before you cancel your cable. That way you can be sure everything works to your satisfaction.
BTW, I'm 74 but with an IT background, so its not all exactly new stuff for me. Any questions or if things don't work as you'd hoped, just come back here and ask.
