Internet throttling
I have had home internet for over a year. It has worked great compared to the dsl i had. I usually get between 15 and 25 mbs, however for the last few weeks at night it is throttling back to less tha...
So to be upfront, i'm copy pasting my response I gave on another post. This is because I am completely frustrated by my experiences with their home internet and would love T-Mobile to take notice.
I picked up their home internet box and they absolutely prioritize mobile users. For one single day I got 100+ mbs on my box. Since then my box, with a full 5 bar connection, says 0.5-2 mbs while my 5g phone always gets 100+mbs on the network. That's during peak hours, between 8am-5pm. You know, the core hours of the day. I have spent days, trying to tweak positioning but it will consistently drop off every morning until every evening. And even at night, I can't always stream a show. It has brought back memories of using a 56k modem and I can't believe I'll be going back to DSL because at least I know I can connect to work.
How they can advertise it being "reliable and fast" is beyond me. Because it sure seems like a scam.
Right now they’re celebrating their “business success” but with that free trial, everyone can experience just how unreliable it is.
