slow streming
I only stream to watch tv (Netflix, appleTV, HBOmax etc.). Will my internet slow once I stream so much?
Your experience with the content delivery could be dependent upon the level of the service your plan is and load upon the uplink equipment. Also the quality of the cellular signals will be a factor. If your gateway receives at least 3-4 bars and the signals are clean service delivery should be good. There are some locations where users seem to experience delivery problems but not all users have service problems. Only time will tell if you are fortunate to be in a good place for service. If the cell tower equipment and upstream routers are all provisioned to carry the subscriber load it could be just fine. If there are periods of the day/night when bandwidth is more limited just keep in mind you can plan ahead and download some content during off peak hours for offline viewing.
According to the play store the 2.9 version of the T-Mobile internet application provides cellular metrics and detailed information. I can't say for sure as it does not play nice on my phone. I can be connected to the wireless but it does not seem to want to recognize that. Once in a while it does work but more often than not it tends to refuse to do much more than try to set up what has already been done.
