Has anyone tried the new T-Mobile 5G home internet? Xfinity just increased our internet bill again and is only providing 1/4 of the "promised" speeds but without any other ISP to switch to, we're screwed.

Looking for anyone who has experienced T-Mobile's offerings and whether it's stable enough for two people primarily working from home.

I'm using it in mid-cambrige. Speedtest.net reports ping=84ms, upload=10Mbps, download=37Mbps. Not great. I'm going to try Verizon next.

Verizon Fios or straight Verizon? I noticed how there technically is competition where I live because Verizon offers internet services, but it's 7/7 for $40 a month...

Verizon wireless. They have a 5G Home Internet plan similar to t-mobile.

I didn't realize that and will check it out.

Check their map for a tower location. If one is in a good spot in relation to you, you can try it out with no contracts.
