Thanks for watching! Do you guys welcome new competition in the home internet space? Let me know your thoughts!
We just got our T-Mobile Gateway- we're seeing speeds upwards of 500mbs to 750mbs download and 57 mbs upload. That is overkill for online gaming.
Is this like what Clear/Clearwire was if you didn't have any cable provider at home?
It looks ok, but not as convincing right now. 20 bucks more you can have att fiber internet at 1Gbps which is 10 time faster and super low latency for gamers.
This so awesome and useful for vloggers or remote workers who move around the country.
Please note that Counter-Strike GO use a share Network for their servers meaning that if one user in your group have bad internet it can potentially make everyone lag for a split second.
Thanks for your video…very helpful
I have FiOS from Verizon with 200mbs/ 200mbs for $52/month ? $60 for this is pricey
Sad day because my T-Mobile coverage for my phone in my area is terribad. Think I’ll just stick with at&t internet.
latency is too high (to be expected with wireless anything), nice speeds though.
Wired gaming can never be beat
T-mobile coming too my house soon
Don’t get this T-mobile
Very very slow
You can’t play any games at all
I am in the Allentown, PA area. I am getting 300-400Mb Down and 50-60Mb Up. it is pretty fast in my area. I love it, I got of stupid RCN.
bye-bye Comshaft
T mobile internet is absolute trash. Gaming on console is practically impossible. I'm hitting over on average over 100 ms latency to over 1000 ms latency. And it fluctuates constantly. Yes download speed are ok but are you wanting to download or play…
I literally get 1.2 gig download. Every other provider is scamming you
yes new options are always good, I was tied to spectrum until I found out about t-mobile , I'm gonna give them a try
Considering I only get 4g (not LTE) I'm my house… I'll pass
Wait but what was the actual ping in CSGO,
Nope no thanks thank you for sharing
I’ve had it for a couple months and I haven’t had a problem but then again I only use it for my smart tv Netflix, YouTube etc…and for my laptop! I’ve never used it for online gaming so not sure how it would work! But considering that the cheapest home internet is about $75 I think it’s a good price
I live in rural Washington State. We were paying Centurylink $40/month for an unreliable 4mbps. That was the only wired ISP we could get due to location, and that was the fastest speed they could give us. We finally switched to a local ISP who uses wireless access points to get us our internet, and now we’re paying $60 for 6mbps. While better and more reliable, it’s still slow and sometimes spotty. Plus, when the internet goes down over the weekend, we have to wait until Monday. Supposedly, my address isn’t eligible for Home Internet, but my neighbor across the street has it. After months of trying, I finally convinced T-Mobile today to let me get this even though my address technically isn’t eligible! Should be here in a few days, so we’ll see how it goes! For everyone saying the speeds are still so slow, when your only option is to pay more for slower Internet because you live rural, Home Internet is so incredibly appealing!
So 100mbps for the mobile internet is pretty good bit at home on Spectrum I get about 400mbps so this is pretty slow in comparison. Still not had tho and you could definitely do worse for $60/month.
No offense but did you guys get sponsored from T-Mobile? The review is pretty vague (no geographic disclose which is important for 5G) and too optimistic compared to actual reviews from others.
Better for my area since frontier and spectrum is unavailable in my area, so this is my only option I since I'm a t mobile customer now since sprint is now merged with them but my hotspot works well on gaming and download speeds on sprint and t mobile is very good even when I'm using 4G instead of 5G it can do well like playing league of legends or Xbox/Nintendo gaming online works well and fast
this isn't anything new though…
Bruh the fan broke in the first week of having it :/
It's terrible for gaming
What about gaming download speeds?
2:09 I disagree with that statement, when I switched over to T-Mobile internet, I kept my router and I did not have to change name password or Wi-Fi network at all, my home network stay the same
personally for me it’s trash for xbox
Comcast has been ripping us all off for so many years.
Starlink or this need to be in my area, I don't care which one comes first. I pay $130 for a 50 down, 1 up line here.
Thank you for the video i’ve currently got spectrum Internet and I’m paying like $80 a month for it and they won’t associate the price but that’s all right because I’m getting T-Mobile Internet for 50$ and that’s a fixed price
Hello so if you have workout equipment like a Nordictrack treadmill will this not work? Plus homeschooling two daughters plus TVs.
The problem with LTE is location location location, depending on where you live, where the nearest cell towers are located, do you have a clean signal to the tower…how far away are you from the tower etc etc, these questions are all something that directly affects the service.
50mb to 100mb maybe isn’t good enough. I’m paying WeLink in Vegas at gigabit speeds….
I have 58 (many smart plugs and lights) devices on my network I had one very big question can I use my current network name and password. This because if the answer is no I would have to reset all devices with the hope that their system works. Get the device go to set it up I need a 12 character password I only have a 9 character password. It is going back. So people in my position make sure that you have a 12 character password.
A little bit of lag is a lot.
Do you plug it to the wall cable?
T-Mobile home internet I got the same one and it gets very hot to the touch I mean very very hot that it can drop your internet so I had to buy one of those fans that go under routers on Amazon. You put it under the internet and then a adapter to plug it into the back of the USB port so that it can stay on all day and cools
Been using Tmobile 5G for a short time and its so impressive. Its much faster compared to xfinity. Recently xfinity let me know they were going to cap my usage but for another $20/mo could get unlimited. Having some competition in the market is very welcome. Although if my tmobile speeds stay steady I dont know how cable would ever persuade me back.
I switched, it was very nice to get away from Comcast but the speed SUCKS!
Man the speeds blow chunks
What’s the difference with the mifi 5G, is this faster? Also looking for something to game with online
"There is a little lag"??? watching this lag right when his video lags
I need this to play Xbox one and download games that are like 50gbs plus would it work?
Does this work in the country I clearly live in the middle of no where and I'm hoping that I can do hotspot because cable internet is so bad out here
