I have the T-Mobile home internet service also. Signal is typically 2 bars. I don't always have a secondary signal. The internet connection drops at times. Speeds are good when a secondary signal is available. I believe t-mobile should allow byod such as the mofi 5500. The Nokia gateway is very limited. There are no external antenna options unless you open the case (I have not done this.) The mobile application crashes and the interface stinks. You cannot lock bands.
Rural America, including myself, have used Mofi and other similar devices with external antennas for years. A BYOD option would be an excellent T-mobile public announcement to keep T-Mobile home customers and attract new customers. It would be win win since T-mobile still gets paid.
