is t-mobile internet any good? Optimum sucks..

T-mobile used to suck cause they had almost no coverage on their cell phones but that was a while back...

A guy showed up on our doorstep selling t-mobile and my wife wants to check them out..

I've had it for 4 or 5 years now. I work from home for a software company. My TV is all streaming, I do video calls multiple hours per day. It works for me.

We love it! Cut the cord, you won't regret it

How is their cell service around town? AT&T tried to screw me on my last upgrade, wouldn't mind kicking them to the curb

I tried T-Mobile Internet for a few months earlier this year. Mostly due to the great deal they were having. When it worked it was fast and great. However "when it worked" timeframe was rather limited in scope and at random times.

I think it all depends on the equipment you get sent and the distance to the internet broadcast point. While I was technically inside the footprint for the broadcast signal, it had issues buffering off and on. And the equipment I was sent was constantly rebooting every 5 to 10 mins for a few hours then would be fine (and work great at point). Looked it up online and found that lots of people were experiencing the exact same issue with this equipment model they were using.

Ended up giving it a boot after about 2 months of constant issues.

They laid fiber in our subdivision the last few weeks. I was surprised. But at least we have options in the future.

I also have their cell service. Not one single complaint do I have!

If you're talking about their fiber Internet, which used to be Metronet, it's fine.

I've had it for a while and only had one issue which was fixed the next day.

Wired internet (Cable/Fiber) will always be superior to wireless (Cell/Broadcast) simply due to less interference and faster speeds. With that said, if you don't have a fiber/cable option in your area... I would strongly advise going Starlink over cellular.

Cellular has a tendency to be more risky as described in this thread of comments and Starlink won't face the bandwidth challenges a disaster can cause on cellular.

If none of these are concerns and you don't have any dependencies... you could always test tmobile for a month and cancel it if you face issues.

We switched 5 months ago from AT&T (after 28 years) to T-Mobile and haven't looked back. No issues with cell service whatsoever as of yet.

Can't speak to their internet. We currently have Frontier fiber and love it! $55/month.

Got tired of the AT&T customer service game. Switched cell service to T-Mobile and got T-Mobile cellular Internet.
As cj774 said, the first month it was great or out. I stuck with it and now it is solid with no outages. Makes me giggle when they are laying all kinds of fiber in our community and hitting other companies fiber. We keep on going.

I highly recommend it.
They have recently introduced "satellite" cellular service. Not sure what that will improve but I am guessing better coverage for mobile users.
