Re: why TMobile home internet so bad
I was chatting with Tmobile (again) several days ago, about one of the other issues I have had with them. I had given up commenting on their home internet, and thenhe said "is there anything else..." so I mentioned it with lowexpectations ( expected reboot devices, move my gateway, etc…I knew it was not on my end - having been a network engineer for several years). He mentioned about sending new hardware and I declined. He then mentioned something about refreshing their network settings on their end. I did have to reboot the gateway, but after they did something on their end, they said it would take 24 for 48 hours to take full effect (odd, but OK) It has been a few days past the 48 hours and it has been good, but too early to say it is reliable. I havea speed test app on my phone so I have a easy way to track the history of my bandwidth and ping. A week ago, when I had trouble streaming at 4:45 pm (before the refresh), I was getting 35.5 Mbps download, which can barely support streaming at 4k quality. Usually I get 250+Mbps which is way more than needed. Time will tell if the fix on their end will fix it.19Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: why TMobile home internet so bad
All the marketing showing how fast t mobile is.......... It can be fast, more than most households need, but home Internet can be so slow it can't handle streaming 1 TV show. My phone is always fast. Even though it is smaller, runs on a battery, and the location varies. But t mobile gives so much priority to cell phones, my home doesn't have the 25 needed to stream a TV show at certain times. Fortunately my wifi router allows me to tether my phone to it, and set it as the primary WAN connection. Never thought I would use my 50 gb of hotspot data 1 foot away from my gateway with unlimited data. Maybe some day t mobile will get good enough at traffic shaping to allow home Internet users to have decent bandwidth, while phones have ludicrous speed, but people have complained for years. Hopefully my sagecomm router supports carrier aggregation. My S23 does, but do I need 3 gig to my phone? I worked in a small data center, hundreds of computers, and they averaged 1 gig at the edge.17Visto2likes0Comentarios
