Have it a little away from the windows though, so sunlight doesn’t hit the device though.Īnyhow, $50 a month flat for service that’s an average of 3 times faster (including UPLOADS) than Spectrum while being $30 cheaper is a good deal in my book.
4 bars, although I had to bring out a tall stand from the garage to put the router on top of so it’d be closer to window height. I have the tall modem/router combo that I put near a window on the second floor. Speeds can go as high as 200 down / 50 up, and down to 150 down, and 18 up, depending on network congestion / time of day, etc. It went up from like 15 ms to 30 (sometimes less, but not by a lot) and it’s more than useable, and a LOT faster. T-mobile is around 180 down, 25 up on average with only slightly worse latency. Was getting 60 mbps down, 5-6 mbps up (closer to 5 really) in SoCal near Northern Long Beach. Downloads are ultra fast though, so there’s that.īit late to this, but based on what people said here, I tried getting Tmobile myself since Spectrum (formerly Timer Warner) is raising its price to $80 lately while not increasing service quality. Even a slower wired connection with better latency and more -consistent- latency would be better. It’s tolerable if you don’t care that much, but if you want to do stuff like hardcore group content or especially raids, you can just forget about it. It’s basically useless for real-time PVP games, especially twitch shooters and the like, and barely adequate for PVE small group and solo online games, like MMO’s. The latency doesn’t seem bad on AVERAGE, but it has huge spikes that cause rubber-banding and delays and other issues. But the original post on Reddit has already been deleted by the user.Įdit: Alright, after further testing, I gotta say that in my location at least, T-mobile internet’s not good for online gaming. While some were impressed with the high data usage, there are others who are worried that it could spark a new data cap that T-Mobile will impose on its users.Īs of this writing, the original poster’s data has not been limited or terminated so it’s unknown yet whether T-Mobile is aware of this already. Uses applications which are designed for unattended use, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections, or applications that are used in a way that degrades network capacity or functionality Īnd this sentiment seems to be echoed by other Redditors ’ comments on the thread. Uses applications which automatically consume unreasonable amounts of available network capacity And according to the report, the Reddit or may have violated a couple of conditions:
But then again, it’s important to remember that T-Mobile Home Internet users are governed by the same Terms of Service that cellphone users have. This is truly a remarkable achievement for T-Mobile as it holds true to its promise of giving “no data caps” on its Home Internet service. On his Reddit post, the user shared that he “left a big download/upload going for two weeks.” During that duration, he was able to get an average speed of 600-700 Mbps. There is also a previous record of 1.5 TB, which is “above average” than the typical usage of a T-Mobile Home Internet user. The graph depicts his monthly data usage on his account, which shows 95,136.99 GB of data used up for the month of November. This is in reference to its Home Internet service, which gives users 95TB of data each month.Īs shared by The T-Mo Report, a Reddit user shared a screenshot of his data use from his My T-Mobile account. So someone decided to put T-Mobile’s “no data caps” promise to the test.
