T-Mobile Home Internet Service - BYOD?
I understand the push to use their gateway since it simplifies support on their end. However, I absolutely agree with Tmblehomeuser21 that we need a BYOD plan for those of use who have used MoFi's for years with other carriers. I too have a MOFI5500-5GXeLTE-EM9191-COMBO and was looking forward to being on the bleeding edge since I am rural and work from home with high data usage. I even am more than willing to pay for the home internet plan and as long as it is unlimited without their gateway.
Unfortunately I live on the edge of our 5G coverage with no copper or cable options and would get 1 bar at best when trying to use the 5G bands. The gateway would grab the 5G for a few moments then drop back to LTE causing a glitch or full on drop in internet connectivity multiple times in an hour. Streaming was almost impossible and work video calls was simply an embarrassment for me.
I like T-Mobile and have 6 phones still on their military plan even though I took the gateway back nd dropped that line. Although, I have visited the store(s) multiple times since in the hope of finding an unlimited BYOD plan that I could use for my MoFi (tablet, phone, or hotspot) it is all just a crap shoot since the risk is that at anytime their network police could decide to block my IMEI because it is not the correct device for that plan.
One would think -T- would want to lead the charge for 5G in all areas and at least match what the other carriers are doing with their BYOD Internet plans….. one would think.
