Thanks for watching. Here's my video review of T-Mobile Home Internet's unlimited plan, which is still being offered alongside the Lite plan: ruclips.net/video/_hVioEWrhdA/видео.html&t
I got the $50 unlimited 5G Gateway it's totally amazing it said it wasn't available in my area because some areas are bought out by AT&T or other better companies so what I did was I entered a different address and took the home the internet to my house where it said that it wasn't going to work and it works badass 5g all the way have multiple devices running and its fast with no interuptions reason why it wasn't available is because Spectrum bought out the Zone where I was at some zones and places make contracts with Broadband companies so that you can only get them I went to T-Mobile AT&T and other companies and they all said that no only Spectrum was the one that was available so I just used a different address took my T-Mobile internet home and it works like a champ
@eduardo gomez can you expand on this? Did you order the wifi to a friends house or something? Then just took it home? And how far away was the place you ordered it to?
@@jakekovacs55 no I went and picked it up at the T-Mobile store the gateway I just gave them a different address the address where I used to live at and its about 30 min away from my new places but the internet works everywhere I take it to my parents house 4 1/2 hrs away and it still works
I'm gonna try this tomorrow lol thanks
@@greennbean did it still work for you too?
I just did this and can confirm it works great. Since I picked the hardware up at the T-Mobile store, the address you tell them doesn't matter. I live in Omaha Nebraska where the huge tornados were and didn't have much damage on my house but the fiber was cut. And our provider said it could be weeks before it comes back up. But if it comes back up within 15 days, I can turn my box in free because of the trial they are running. We work from home and it works great! So thank you
Micheal,I am in total agreement with your commentary. My 5g t mobile gateway is as good as the first day. Checked the speed this morning about 8:30. 303down, 46 up. That was through 2 walls in my home from the gateway. If folks out in the country want internet they're choices are limited! Here, I'll tell you something scary....... Dialup !
Sigh. I just want internet that has a decent data cap that's not almost $200 a month. Our county keeps giving people that already have Fiber and Cable more internet options and screwing those of us without. 😑
Bullshit, we don't want any damn data caps, and tmobile needs to be told this in no uncertain terms. Blow up the FCCs comments and any feedback sections demanding they make data caps illegal immediately. Nobody should have to be saddled with a metered connection in 2022 there is not a bandwidth shortage, it's simply corporate greed.
Megan, I’m in the same boat, hope to move next year and get in an area with real Wifi and Internet capabilities.
This is really ridiculous. And all these companies just laughing all the way to the bank.
It's not the "country" it's the non compete clauses the monopolies have. If you don't live near businesses they don't give 2 💩 s about you.
@@jefft5152 the government does nothing about it, because freedom
Yup. That's capitalism in a nutshell.
The local phone company only provides 3 mbps (yes...THREE) as it's fastest option in my area. Yet it's advertised as "Speeds up to 100 mbps." The only other option is cable, which is expensive for what you get, and it's a crappy company to work with. And that's assuming your home can actually support it. All the homes in my area were built in the 50s, so they have to be retrofitted to take a cable line.
It's a complete joke.
Thanks for having such an informative video in such a short runtime.
Thanks Michael. I live within the city limits of Pittsburgh, just ran my address on the site and it says I'm available for the unlimited. To be honest, I'd love to cut ties with Xfinity Internet. It's not that great and cost me 80 dollars a month. But I've heard a lot of people complain T-Mobile starts out good and goes downhill within a few months. Just wondering about the long term.. 🤔
I've had the t mo 5G gateway since mid March. I dumped Xfinity TV and internet then. I was rebooting the Xfinity equipment at least a couple of times a week and they never lived up to claimed speeds .I haven't looked back with TMo gateway. I'm in the Chicago suburbs.
I was paying 80 bucks a month also. Over 200 with the cable.
@@paulsmith9341 Thanks Paul 🙂
I have T-mobile home internet for a few months. Everything is working really well. But if the connection change . I will have to find other options.
@@paulsmith9341 o
I've had 3 MB/s DSL from AT&T for over a decade and the only other options seem to be satellite internet. Would this be a good alternative?
Hell no, go with att fixed wireless or Verizon, don't ever sign up for something limited like this.
Verizon is the closest tower to me, about 2 miles away. Do you think I'm close enough for it to work?
@@MurkN it should as long as it's enabled on the tower. Definitely stop into Verizons closest store and ask them about their lte home internet, I'm not sure what it's called exactly. But also check with att about fixed wireless, I have that, and have since I shit canned Hughes net 3 years ago. It's roughly 25 megs down although they guarantee 10mbps minimum and 1 Meg up the ping is usually less than 100, allowing me to game just fine on it.
@@MurkN with att I get 350 gb a month data limit, if I go over they add 50gb blocks to my account for 10 dollars extra per 50gb. I have never had an overage charge with att despite Hughes claiming I'd burn 50 gigs in a day... but what att does not do is throttle my usage, and my bill is capped at 200 a month no matter how much data I use.
Thanks for this. I just went to check out T-Mobile Lite, and I could not make sense out of it. This helped so much.
I have T-mobile home internet and it's working amazing. But if I was one of those customers who had to choose T-mobile light I wouldn't. Especially T-mobile charging the same price as those customers that have unlimited data .I still feels that this is T-mobile finding ways to don't give unlimited internet service to certain areas. Why would T-mobile charge customers the same price as the customers with unlimited data? It should be less . It's a lot of options now when it comes to home internet. Customers will always do what's best. Thank you for sharing.
Except that the people who would most likely use this don't have many options for internet that actually works and isn't $200 a month.
We are jumping at the chance to try T-mobile’s home internet lite. We live in a rural area, where there is zero internet options for us other than satellite internet. We currently have hughesnet, and it’s the most expensive garbage service anyone could be forced to have. Not only does it not work, but the pricing is outrageous. We had to up to the 75G plan with a base charge of $120 a month. Even though it barely worked, they were saying we were running through our data at a ridiculous rate. Our second month bill came in above $500. I’ll take $50 a month for 100Gigs over that anyway, and I’m not going to complain that it’s the same price as unlimited for the customers on the 5G home internet network. I understand that there’s a difference between the two and that tmobile is offering us far better pricing than anyone else in our area. My husband is on his way home from the store right now with our Lite equipment. Even if it doesn’t work any better than hughesnet, we’ll be sticking with it…because we simply have no other options. This is a reality for those of us in rural America.
I guess it's better to have some Internet than no Internet..
@@jessicaginetz5512how do you like the internet lite? I’m in a similar situation thinking on switching.
Thanks. Good to know. How about a review on Verizon internet? My internet keeps fluctuating and I need something better and worth the money.
If I get access to it, I'll test it out!
Thanks. No rush for now. I’m under contract till the end of the year 😕
Yeah if my area had real internet access, I would not need to use Internet Lite. But sadly it’s all that is available at this time. It’s expensive because I need the 300gb per month and it costs 175. But the the only other option is cable and that’s well over 200 bucks….they have you cornered like a mouse.
Totally agree, crazy to offer a very limited plan & a unlimited plan at the same price! Sounds like T mobiles overall network is poor & therefore shouldn’t be offering it at all until their infrastructure can handle the load.
It's not necessarily their infrastructure but the infrastructure that supplies the towers in the area that is subject to gatekeeping by providers like Level3.
dude. People who live out in the middle of no where have little to no options. $50 a month for 100gb data at decent speeds is insane for me.
Online says my location only has Lite but the t-mobile Business rep (to whom I was transferred inexplicably) and area coverage map zoomed all the way says my address should get Ultimate. After going nowhere with the non-Business rep ("I can only offer what the online form tells me for your address.") I proceeded with 100 GB Lite for now but indicated that I'll be dropping service in a few months if I don't get Ultimate. Won't let them weasel out. What else can one do when the alternatives are overpriced fiber or crappy DSL, both with absurd "installation by our skilled rep" one-time cost BS for 5 mins to flip a switch?!
This would not work me being I stream my TV Hulu with spectrum internet until these plans get better ill stay with spectrum which my internet service is not bad b price I pay 54.99 a month iam sure all these post paid carriers going come out with home internet but until they come out with true unlimited with no cap or slow down I don't think its would not be worth it
Agree in your case for multiple reasons. Hulu, but also you have a decent rate
884.57GB, 875.52GB, 857.92GB. Those are my data usage for the last three complete months on t mo 5G gateway.
That's a really big shoe
Is optimum good?
It's never been offered anywhere I've lived, so I can't review it. Sorry.
I tried it when i first heard about it, i fact i tried one with no success, then i tried another one, still no success, i even went to T-Mobile tech support and was on the phone line for about two hours with them trying to get the ting to work. The device is made in Viet Nam.
AT&T wants 100$ upfront since I’m 19 and don’t have a credit score. Had to stop using cox due to getting random charges. Can’t even find the option for internet lite even tho this house doesn’t quilt you for unlimited Struggling so hard.
Go to the t-mobile store and ask them to check your address for internet Lite. It wasn’t showing up for us online, but we were able to get it set up at the store
Odd T-Mobile doesn’t offer home internet at my place but my phone gets 5g around 65mbps but verzion dose I get over 300 mbps T-Mobile has fucked up
We use T-Mo 5G Home Internet as a backup for our FIOS. We need internet for full time WFH jobs.
T-Mo 5G Home Internet is amazing in our area. Solid 200 to 300 mbps all the time.
I cut my ties with Suddenlink here ii east Texas,and now get 51 channels,I also have t mobile gateway, what is best way to conserve data as I have the 100 gig plan, can't get unlimited?.
The only downside to t mobile lite is the data cap if you go over it your service slows down I don’t like it
Mine dropped out a lot.
What a rip off.... I have att fixed wireless, 500GB for $69 per month.
They're all that price. Many just have much lower data caps. Like Dish or Hughes Net. $100 a month for a "30" GB data cap. 15 GB from 7am to 1am and 15 GB from 2am to 6am. Our Nomad with so-so service with no data cap is $150.

The poor neighborhood special. How demeaning
I'm glad I didn't get Tmobile home lite
Keyword "LITE"
T mobile sucks. Don't get it. I got T mobile 5G internet months ago, and at first, it was great. Then, I think they got too many customers, and internet drops out after around 8 minutes. I need more than 8 minutes of internet. Have to power off & restart to reconnect. Was great, but now sucks. Cancelling my 5G T mobile internet line.
I would not use T-Mobile or At&T because it's for lay people.
Still not great..
This is bad news.
They f*ed me dry with they're shitty internet, will keep dropping service, its laggy, then if your internet quits you have to cancel or they add an extra gfys in there then charge your card a couple times a month to make sure they get the money
The lite is a complete rip off.
Lies and deception
