T-Mobile Home Internet Review
So here is my take on T-Mobile Home Internet. Signal quality is everything. If you get good signal, it performs well. But if your signal strength is 2 bars or less, look out, high latency, low throughput, and constantly loss of service. When I travel in the RV, I have had good experiences with the service, but at home it was a problem, and T-Mobile customer service was not able to help me solve the issue. Note I fixed the issue at home with a 5G signal booster (product I bought is a Hi Boost 4k, installed July 2022). Before I installed the signal booster, I had lousy internet performance, 1-2 signal bars. After I installed the product, I now have insanely fast internet, and 4-5 signal bars. I have a background in signal processing, so I am going to get a bit technical. I live on a lake, and there is a larger ridge of trees adjacent to my property that cuts into the signal for 5G. This was never a problem with LTE, but as you have heard, 5G degrades faster over distances, and stuff like trees smashes signal strength. After installing the product, signal strength increased as follows: 700MHz (LTE) 50dB, 800Mhz (5G mid band) 43dB, 1.9Ghz (5G hi band) 52dB (Verizon operates at this band), 2.5Ghz (5G hi band) 49dB (both Verizon and T-Mobile operate at this band). What does this all mean, I now get the SAME quality and insanely fast internet that folks in the cities and suburbs get on my T-Mobile Home Internet.
