T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
June 02, 2023 My internet is through T-Mobile. I used to have Cox, but it was horrible. I made the switch and I've been pretty happy. It's less than 50 dollars a month, and the speeds are great. Sometimes it randomly disconnects and I have to reset the router to get it to work, but other than that, there's been no issues. I appreciate that it's a very easy set up.
