    I've had T-Mobile internet for over a year, just jumped up to 5g. Love it, there has been zero problems. I'm using about 2tb a month.

      I want to make the jump but once tmo told me they will limit my bandwidth after x amount of data I lost all interest. I pay through the nose for cox internet but am not limited. I'm near 2tb a month as well. Have you had any issues?

    i have full bars on my tmobile router i get about 570-600mb/s down and 25-38 up with 4 bars it was about 480 down same up. It is WAY faster than my at&t fiber internet we use 1tb+ a month always.

    I received my tmobile home internet about a week ago and speeds are around 150 to 200 mbps. Working well so far but seems to really work well with the dual wan feature on my Asus router. That way i can assign certain devices to use my primary gigabit Ethernet connection and up to 16 other devices to use the home internet T Mobile connection. Really helps take the pressure off of the gig connection which helps out the overall speed on my network and probably reduces potential bottlenecks as well. Great video. 👍

    It does come with some issues, but nothing that cannot be solved. Not only that saving $95 a month compared to at&t. The speeds are twice as fast and the uploads are 7 times faster.

  • @kevinbeatty2746
    @kevinbeatty2746 3 роки тому +2

    Got my Tmobile router 2 days ago and the signal is only 2 bars. The nearest tower is about 4 miles from me. I can't tolerate the low connection speed, the data rate averages about 55mbs. Sometimes I have seen 125mbs but it didn't last very long. Sometimes the rate is below 25mbs. The tech told me that speeds in the 60 to 90 meg range are acceptable to what they expect to see from a 5g connection. They can't tell me when or if they are going to have a tower installed near my house. I will probably have to return the router if I am unable to get speeds of near 150mbs. I want to stream live TV and run IP cameras and 60mbs is just not enough.

    I had mine for 2 days and it works good so far, i put it on top of a laptop fan to keep it from getting hot. Seems to work cause I feel no heat. I watched reviews about it the first day I got it and a guy said it over heats so I stuck it on that fan to avoid any future damage

    • @Triple_M
      @Triple_M  2 роки тому

      So, when you say that it's "overheating" do you mean that it stops working after getting hot, Or does it just get warm? Also, are you using a router with this or are all of you devices connected by WIFI or Ethernet?

    • @rival989
      @rival989 2 роки тому +1

      @@Triple_M I felt it getting warm but I only had phone connected to it and as I was setting it I was watching tips and tricks and reviews on it and first thing I seen was people complaining about it overheating and stop working or connection slowing down so I immediately just put it on laptop fan to avoid any future damage before I start connecting more things because I was only running on the Wi-Fi on it with one device at the moment. But so far ever since I put the laptop fan underneath it I don't even feel the heat coming from it anymore even with more devices connected to it, but I have all my devices connected to the Wi-Fi of it. I'll do more testing connecting more things to it probably tomorrow because that's when I'm off I really haven't had too much time to mess with it cuz I've been working

I was asking because if you watch my 5 month follow up, I had my entire house running off the T-Mobile internet, and It is in a place with very poor air circulation, but I haven't really had any issues with overheating.
