    T-Mobile Internet.

    Any one tried it yet. Advertised as $50 per month. Wondering how good it can be and if it starts buffering when trying to stream material?

    I'm sure it will be fine for keeping up with BBC but waiting for your 4K porn to buffer might leave you feeling deflated.

    We just got it last week. Haven't tried to stream anything with it yet, but will give an update hopefully tonight.

    We have it in rural central Kentucky. It’s not fiber fast, but we watch Netflix and Amazon prime shows every night and rarely have buffering issues. Occasionally the picture will get grainy and we either tough it out or pause it for a bit. It’s good enough to run our home security stuff where we can watch our cameras while away from home too. And I work from home a couple days a week and don’t have any problems whatsoever when doing that. In my opinion, it’s well worth the $50, especially considering there isn’t a contract and you can cancel whenever you want. The only problem we have is that we have a home weather station that uploads data to an app that we can check while away and track historical trends and stuff, but it’s not compatible with a 5G network so we can’t use it anymore after getting T Mobile.

    Of course all this is dependent on t-mobiles 5G coverage of your area. If their signal isn’t good at your house, it won’t work.

    if you get a good T-Mobile signal it's the best deal going..
    and T-Mobile CS is top notch,,

    We just made the switch to T-Mobile home internet a few weeks ago, due to the new house under construction. At this time, we will not have any other option for internet. We do a lot of streaming in the evening and kids with gaming at times. To make thing easy without setting up a new home network, we just plugged in our existing wireless routers into this hub. Everything still works like we had with Spectrum. We have 2 bars on reception but the hub in in the middle of the house. I have no regrets.

    I've had it for about 3 months now. If you don't have smart tv's don't get the fire sticks that t-moble sells as they don't work great with Youtube tv, which is a the platform t-moble sells. As far as buffering goes every once in a while, but that is do to my son watching a ton of youtube and the fire sticks freezing up. As far as internet, we can run cell phone 3 tv's a nintendo switch, and 2 chrome books without it buffering. So far we really like it.

    Had it over a year now. Works great with multiple tv's, computers, etc. Just did a speed test, getting 72 mbps both up and down. No contract as well.

    No problems with ours in the three months we've had it. No buffering or slowdowns that we have noticed, speed test says 111.5 down 16.6 up.
