June 11, 2026 Have had this service for a month. Has been down twice. Restoring service has been so time consuming! I have spoken to 4 different people who have been in different places. While they are very kind and polite, the system seems to not be efficient.

T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
May 02, 2026 When we moved to our new house, we needed a reliable internet service because my husband and I work remotely. The house is semi-rural so we were worried about getting good service. We ended up going with our phone service provider, TMobile, and getting something like a hotspot instead of a router. So far the internet has worked reliably with minimal outages and satisfying speed between work, streaming, and gaming. We have never used this type of internet before.
