slow home internet
I've had T-Mobile's home WiFi for over a year now with good speed but recently the speed has really dropped off. I ran a speed check and am getting upload in the 200 gbs and download of 3 gb. When I switch to no WiFi and just cell I get in the 500 gbs for download and 8 gb upload. Any thoughts why WiFi is slower than cell?
the router is in the same place it has always been, I get 4 bars. I've had no major changes in devices. I have the cube router. Live in the Dallas area not in a rural area.
You may find that urban areas may have more issues that rural, as sites will deprioritize home internet based on capacity/traffic.

@Awm7777 hitting 200gbps, thats not even real. 200Mbps maybe.Similarly, where i am, ill hit +700Mbps on phone, but just over 500 on home internet. During the day, home internet will drop to about 400Mbps
I've been having the same issue.
Same issue here in Rome GA. My phone will hardly work if it connects to my internet. Turn wifi off and it's fast like before.
I have the same issue, sometimes not connection at all

resolved at my end
I have a similar problem, and my suspicion is that in my case the modem was connecting to a nearby AT&T tower before my problems started. I don't know this for a fact, but there are several reasons to believe that was the case.
I have confirmed that my modem is using the nearest T-mobile tower now, which provides a much (100x) weaker signal.
