T-mobile 5G Home internet and VPN

Just finished talking to T-mobile tech support. The tech support lady came up with a brilliant idea that this should be handled by the IT team at my work. Her rationale was that Comcast is a fiber optic backend network and handles VPN differently than T-mobile 5G home internet which is all wireless. I tried to reason with her in vain that wireless alone is not the issue . ( If I restart the TMO gateway and connect via VPN again the speeds are good for a minute or two before it gets throttled down, so it's not the setup or the VPN network itself) . Even the hotspot from my phone's Verizon network does not throttle VPN this much (although it does) .
T-mobile should advertise this as a strictly for entertainment home internet product. Anything else is misleading and a sureshot class action material for fraud.
