T-Mobile Has Quietly Added A Priority Data Limit To Their Home Internet
T-Mobile Has Quietly Added A Priority Data Limit To Their Home Internet
5G speeds are great, and T-Mobile's 5G Home Internet lets you use them for your household. It's now not as unlimited as you think, though.

If you can afford the upfront cost, get service from The Calyx Institute instead. Uses T-Mobile, you own the device, cheaper in the long run, free VPN, and you're supporting a privacy nonprofit.
Wow this is really interesting

The lack of Ethernet on these make me think they're meant for mobile, as opposed to home Internet. How has your experience been using it?
It's WiFi, so it works with anything. If you had a huge home, it wouldn't be enough, but for a small home, it's fine. In the city, I got 150 Mbps, but out in the country I only get about 40.
It's unlimited, and I'm not entirely sure what priority it's given. I just think its a better alternative supporting a better company than T-Mobile itself.
T-Mobile home internet forbids traveling with their device, but this travels easily. Plus you own it. The only thing you're not allowed to do is take the SIM card out and put it in another device. I'm not exactly sure why, but you can read about it on the Calyx site.
Having Calyx service let's you downgrade your phone plan to something very cheap if you plan to carry the device around or if you don't use much data when out and about.
It is 100% a better alternative than supporting T-Mobile, thank for for sharing it.
