I've been using T-Mobile for my phone and tablet. The Internet speeds are dependent on traffic on the band so it would slow waay down at times. Yesterday I dropped my tablet from the plan and signed up for home Internet with them.
The difference is amazing! 275.66 megs with speed test.

I’m on the fence to switch from Verizon to T Mobile
Only cuz T Mobile has satellite coverage for voice calls, problem is here in flyover country Verizon still has better coverage than anyone else
Rumor has it SpaceX is coming out with its own phone/operating system that does not track you like all cellular phones currently do & they have been working with Unplugged

I'm liking it except for the tv connection. Lots of channels after pairing my TV to it, but I can't choose the antenna input unless I unplug the box and turn the TV off for a couple minutes.

I run tmobile 5g home internet.
It works pretty well. The 5g router just got updated with new software roll out. And now you have a bit more control over connections to it. Now with that being said I was using to tplink network hardware. The USA owned version, not the chinese version. Everything was working ok. But started having connection drops. So I did my home work and upgraded the hardware to ubiquiti. My drops have stopped and the speed is better. The ubiquiti hardware is American made. And you will pay for it. But it does seem to make a difference. I dropped 800ish bucks in new network hardware. So in the end tmobile is working better since I've upgraded my own equipment and they upgraded their software on their router.

We have spectrum cable internet
I went and got a ARRIS SURFboard cable modem and a Asus Zen WiFi router & might pick one more up before the ban on Taiwan made routers kicks in to expand the house’s WiFi footprint

Thanks Speedy. I'm thinking an Ethernet cable is the way to go. The antenna is connected directly to the TV but when WiFi is on the antenna choice doesn't appear in the TV menu.
