I had no idea 5G wireless Internet could do this. Is it the same system as regular cellular? Same towers and antennas?

The download of 934 Mbps is on par with the old fiber optic I had.

I've tried loading it down: TV streaming, HD video playing on both desktops, HD video on both mobiles, all at the same time.

I can't cause it to falter.

All the equipment is wireless and T-Mobile's, so if there's an issue, they can't a point a finger at my router or house wiring. $45/month.

Tello Mobile Plan Review (2026): Low Cost, Reliable Service

This is home internet via wireless 5G. I like that download. The fiber optic was a little faster on the download, but not much. Upload will always be hopeless on asymmetric.

Download Mbps
898.03

Yazz, queen! 👸

Upload Mbps
78.86

Well, OK, girl.

holders of #TMobile #Samsung #LG #android phones in #USA and #Canada need to pay attention. Samsung’s Knox is a #backdoor using remote attestation.

Samsung first sold Knox as work #spyware for businesses and governments. their largest USGOV contracts were DoD.

then Trump happened.

Knox is now used to remote control all Samsung/LG devices in USA/CA but neither Samsung nor TMobile will tell you who is the administrator (aka users 0 & 1)

if you arent user 0 & 1 you don't own your phone.

The T-Mobile 5G Home Internet Gateway is here. It was delivered within two hours of ordering by courier. I won't have time to install it till tomorrow night after work.

Hoping it's adequate. From what I read, the download is good, upload is not. It's not symmetric like the fiber is.

The sim card is already installed. The plastic holder was left in the box, I assume in case you need to confirm it to support.

The fiber internet is still half out. 27-hour outage.
