Re: Cancelling T-Mobile Home Internet Service
Thanks, Mike. I moved the unit to three different places in my house, and it was three bars (out of five) everywhere. You don't offer an external antenna, so this was the best I could do. The bigger issue is the quality of service varies based on network congestion, and there is only so much capacityavailable on wireless bandwidth, certainly nothing like the fiber connections or even coaxial. Although the Home Internet service is a big fail for me, I still love T-Mobile's cellular service, plans, and approach to the marketplace. Please keep up the good work!15Visto0likes0ComentariosCancelling T-Mobile Home Internet Service
I'm a very happy T-Mobile Magenta Plus customer. While upgrading our iPhones the other day, I decided to add T-Mobile's Home Internet service. It looked like I'd get better speeds and save some money compared to Spectrum. I live on Maui, so there are not a lot of Internet alternatives. Setting up the grey "can" was easy, and though I had 3 bars out of five, I got about 35 Mbps on an Internet speed test. I noticed that lag time was significant when loading streaming video (YouTube, Netflix or Prime). Hulu did not want to work and I had to call Hulu to get them to recognize my new IP address. On the first full evening of service we were watching a movie and it came to a screeching halt. I called T-Mobile's service (they are always very good) and was informed that a cell tower went down and all of the added traffic on my tower had slowed it down. About 30 minutes later service came back. Today, using the service all day, I noticed terrible lag times loading streaming services as well as randomslowdowns (.3 Mbps? Really?). I am going back to Spectrum. Even though it is nearly twice the price, at least their Internet service is stable and speeds are way better. I hate to say it, but 5G Home Internet Service is not ready for prime time.3.8KViews1like4ComentariosRe: Phone Deals for existing customers
I think T-Mobile is good to loyal customers. We are in the process of upgrading our phones to iPhone 13s and T-Mobile's trade in credit was very generous. At the store I asked about the new (here) 5G home internet service, signed up, and set it up today. My $50 monthly savings on internet access is paying for our two upgraded phones. 😎112Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Hulu Live
My mesh network is connected to my T-Mobile home internet router. I "locked" the IP addresses of my two TVs so they should stay the same even after an outage or reset on my mesh system it is called a "Reservation," as in the IP address is reserved just for that device.2Visto0likes0Comentarios
