    Do you have Tmobile already? If not,
    you can get a free hotspot from them
    with 30 days or 30gb of internet
    service, whichever comes first, so you
    can test the speeds that you'd get. I
    do have Tmo home internet in two
    different places. When I tried it at my
    house, I got around 150mbit down. Up in
    the northern towns that I took the
    hotspots up to, I get about 75mbit
    down.

    By the way, you don't get a real IP and
    you can't forward ports into your
    network. Also, connections like SSH
    will die/lock up/time out unless there
    is constant data going through them.
    I'm assuming this is a mechanism put
    into place to keep their mobile lines
    clear of dead connections.

    yeah that's what i was expecting. that sucks.
    they also have this gateway device https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/gateway?INTNAV=tNav%3AHowItWorks%3AWiFiGatewayDevice
    https://preview.tinyurl.com/2brp5ful

    okay got it and hated it.

    i couldn't get 5g in my area. they said i should be able to but my area's 'box' was just doing 4g for a reason they don't know.

    i tried to return it but i was on the phone for over an hour and most of the people couldn't find me in the system. finally i was able to get a pin and then create an account and then they could see me.

    my device is like a phone and i go into the admin center and i can read the sms txts.
