At no point has T-Mobile included band 41 in this data.
They also exclude band 5 (which is only in Myrtle Beach, SC), band 13 (only in Puerto Rico), bands n258/n260/n261 (5G mmWave), band 46 (uses the same wireless spectrum as Wi-Fi, T-Mobile has only deployed it in a few spots of some cities), and some bands that T-Mobile has so far only deployed for testing purposes (ex. Band 48, n77) with a larger launch coming in the future.
The data I’m pulling from does include some 2G, 3G, and roaming information, but I decided to exclude that data to avoid the graph becoming too busy and hard to read.
This is a fair usage policy, not a data cap. We don’t have a data cap. Customers still get unlimited data even if they use more than 1.2TB in a month (over 2X the average user – less than 10% of our customers). They’ll just be prioritized after other home internet customers for the reminder of the bill cycle, and they may notice slower speeds compared to other home internet customers in times of congestion. This ensures that a ll of our customers get a great network experience. At the start of the next month, those customers reset to normal prioritization until the next time they hit 1.2TB. – T-Mobile

I’ve had their home internet for over two years now and I don’t think this policy bothers me. It is our backup/alternative to crappy 20Mb DSL. It works well enough, but during [traffic] rush hour it gets congested from a nearby highway. To be expected and overall I have no complaints. I can stream 4k youboob just fine. I don’t think I get near or over the cap, but just in case I think I’ll keep P2P/Usenet traffic on DSL.
If you can afford the upfront cost, get service from The Calyx Institute instead. Uses T-Mobile, you own the device, cheaper in the long run, free VPN, and you’re supporting a privacy nonprofit.
It’s WiFi, so it works with anything. If you had a huge home, it wouldn’t be enough, but for a small home, it’s fine. In the city, I got 150 Mbps, but out in the country I only get about 40.
It’s unlimited, and I’m not entirely sure what priority it’s given. I just think its a better alternative supporting a better company than T-Mobile itself.
T-Mobile home internet forbids traveling with their device, but this travels easily. Plus you own it. The only thing you’re not allowed to do is take the SIM card out and put it in another device. I’m not exactly sure why, but you can read about it on the Calyx site.
Having Calyx service let’s you downgrade your phone plan to something very cheap if you plan to carry the device around or if you don’t use much data when out and about.
This really sucks. We used it for a little bit as a wonderful solution during a brief stay in a tiny ADU. It was a terrific experience and we’ve recommended it to anyone who might benefit from it.
That’s exciting news. One of the downsides of T-Mobiles mmWave deployments has been it needed an (often saturated) mid-band signal to work. So, this )once rolled out) removes that limitation.
Next, we’ll need them to actually roll out mmWave antennas so that we can all take advantage of that extra capacity!
Its usually 3rd and 4th line free, no difference if their isn’t a 4th. I’m not familiar with Consumer cells pricing, but I’m in the process of ditching TMO after a decade because of their new scam of requiring Debit or ACH for what (used to be) auto pay discounts. Now should be called the lower our bank fees discount. No way in hell am I giving real cash ability to a company that has major data breaches every year for almost a decade.
We’re going to Mint most likely, maybe Puretalk, they’re on ATT though.
T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G Now Covers 330 Million People
No, it does not.
According to both T-Mobile and the article you linked T-Mobile’s 5G Ultra Capacity covers 300 million people while T-Mobile’s overall 5G network (which includes the much slower and longer range 5G Extended Range) covers 330 million people.
300 million Americans now covered by Ultra Capacity 5G, achieving the year-end goal more than two months ahead of schedule, while the total 5G network covers more than 330 million people (98% of Americans)
You’re on Google Fi, so that’s not real. You realize being with an MVNO means you’re de-priorotized on the network right?
That said, even with that being the case something’s very wrong there and should be addressed, but that’s in no way a representation of 5G UC, 5G or even LTE or 4G.
I’d download a network analyzer and see what network you’re actually being physically connected to and start troubleshooting from there. Google Fi uses TMO in most areas, find a person that’s actually a TMO customer and see what their speeds are.
This is hilarious, since their system is so broken it won’t let me create an online account, and no amount of talking to customer support has helped. So the only way I know anything about my account is through the letters they mail me.
