why TMobile home internet so bad

When I first got my gateway it worked ok 6 months now and it sucks so bad I can't play games and half the time my wife can't even watch her shows without it buffing I think TMobile needs to stop making new stuff and fix theyre crappy service when I get another service in dropping this crap

  • Save your money. Tmobile home internet is the worst crap ever offered. My wifes work phones hotspot (Verizon) handles our our needs better than this garbage.

    Perform a few checks:

    1.  Use the TMHI ‘app’ to check your general performance - ‘Connection Quality’ on the home tab
    2. On the 'More' tab, check the 'Advanced Cellular Metrics' - take a look on the 5G tab to see the the RSRQ, RSRP, SINR and Band are.  Band should be N41.  Each entry has a status description as well as status.
    3. File (call) T-Mobile for support  (summer leaves in some places will cause issues with n41 - 
    4. Better location (use the Home page - Placement tool).

    Nope. Nothing works. It's garbage.

  • I agree mine worked good for a while then it started to suck I went to cancel and they said it'd be cheaper to go another month because apparently you pay a month in advance which is dumb, Verizon offers faster for 15 less and quantum offers way faster for $15 more. Save your money and go somewhere else not to mention I've had to get a new gateway a week after my first one because the model was not longer being used and they tried to charge me. This internet is not worth it at all! I got the same speeds through century link in the middle of the mountains then I do with this in downtown Denver 

  • Read T-Mobile's policy on deprioritizing and you'll understand. That commercial ain't wrong.

    It seems when you are on a trial test in the beginning T mobile has the speed up to 200mps, but after you buy in you get Dial up speed.

    Old saying, you get what you pay for.
