Hi, I’m in Waverly and have had T-Mobile internet for about 6 months. I had a spell in late September/early October where my internet was dropping multiple times a day, which was super frustrating. But since then it’s been solid apart from occasional drop outs in the evening while I’m watching tv, which can usually be fixed by restarting the gateway. I also just did a speed test and got 109 up and 42 down, which is maybe not amazing but works for me and my needs and I’m delighted to not have to call my provider every year to beg for a lower rate. I’ve also found the T Mobile home internet sub to be super helpful. Also get a little fan to keep your gateway cool. I got one for like $15 at microcenter

Interesting, thanks! I'm in Harwood right down from Waverly so we probably would connect to the same tower? 42 down is not great but would probably be fine for streaming and zoom calls, right? And thanks for the recommendation for the t-mobile sub! And the tip about getting a fan!

Yep, I don’t have roommates (apart from my dog) and video calls and streaming aren’t an issue for me
