T-Mobile Internet
My modem/router is only showing two bars. My app says I have a weak signal. My speednet checks are from 250 to almost 400 mbps. I am not complaining but I am confused.

I think I am going to do more testing with my iPhone 13. Only once so far have i been able to get download speeds over 100 mbs and that was outside. Going a mile or so away from home I can pull 300+.
A consistent 100+ would be fine but unless I can find a sweet spot you are right, I will be disappointed.
That's a good sign, being able to get over 100 outside. I get the best speeds with the gateway elevated a foot, turned a certain way, and in a window facing the tower. My speeds there are just as good as outside or on the roof. If you have a 2nd floor or attic, or anyplace high up in a room, preferably with a window facing the tower, those are good places to try also, places where you'd be unlikely to use your phone but where you can put the gateway.
The pricing of T mobile home internet is such a pleasure after DSL, and I know Comcast is the same, where the price keeps going up. I'd have to call and talk them down to something reasonable. And for me, of course, there's the thing about T mobile being 20x faster.
