Slow, really extremely, consistently slow internet

5:45pm on a Monday night and my Tmob download speed is 0.25 mbps. Streaming drops out every few seconds. It stays this slow until around 11pm, when it goes up to 25 mbps . Reminds me of how slow Genie dial-up internet was back in the 1990s. When is Tmob going to provide usable service that is halfway as good as cable? 

Everything I can find on this shows that Tmobile home internet customers get the Lowest priority on cell towers. Effectively cannot use the internet at all except from 2am to 6am while most people are asleep. Even with good connection to the cell tower my latency is so high, unable to keep connections with just about anything. 

Clearly throttled 

they also block the use of VPN's as well. If I had another option for internet in my area I'd take it. Just have to hope my starlink preorder is available soon since they have begun to roll out north of my area.

on a wired connection as well.  The idea is they will manually set your connection priority if you call in. That way they can capture on the recorded call that your internet has magically improved after a reset and reprovision. Then wait a 12 hour cycle, or less depending on your towers traffic, and you will be back in buffering, lost connection hell.
