Re: Pre-testing 5G internet speed...
Thanks for your reply@cjake…. The lack of phone service is a bummer, but probably can work around it. The asymmetrical download speed is not an issue either. The stable, consistent connection on the other had will be an issue for my SOHO business. Couple of tests at different times and places today, raining outside, worries me for the 5G connection: The LTE (4G) tests are highlighted in yellow The 4G download speed is still higher than my current cable service's, including some upload speed, but not happy about the wildly fluctuating 5G speeds, rather the different type of 5G connections: NR = Stand alone 5G cell network, no 4G on tower NRNSA = Non-Stand Alone 5G cell network, 4G on tower Seemingly, there isn't many NR 5G tower around me, that would explain the low transfer speeds. On the other hand, the NTNSA 5G towers are either closer or there are more of them around me. Is there a way to manually set the connection type to NRNSA? That's plenty of speed for me until the NR 5G connection stabalizes at higher speeds… TIA...Pre-testing 5G internet speed...
Hello, I've been a Tmobile customer for close to 20 years, with no issues. My cell is iPhone 12 Pro and get good speed test results for 5G: Speedtest app, 5G Even the LTE (4G) test shows faster download speed, than my current cable service: Speedtest app, 4G test The limited upload result is due to the current cell plan. Tmobile 5G home internet is available in my area and prior to going for it, couple of questions… Is this speed test result any indication for the future home internet performance? Is there any limitation for the upload speed with home internet, or will it match the download speed? How's the telephone service with this service and can a current phone number with the cable service transferred to Tmobile home internet? How does this service perform in adverse weather conditions, like heavy rain, snow, wind, etc., did anyone experienced these conditions? After reading lot of posts about issues with theNOK 5G21 Gateway device, I am still somewhat hesitant to go for this service. Tmobile really should distribute a better router, instead of the seemingly bottom of the barrel cheap device. Despite having a seemingly fast 4 and 5G connection with my iPhone, will the same issues, such as loosing wifi connections, reboot number of times during a 24-hours period, etc., exist with my planned Tmobile home internet service? TIA...
