TIP T-Mobile Home Internet on sale for $25/Mo (for Life) (OP from Dec 2022)

I would rather minimize the 5g signals that are beamed to the house.

If you don`t mind a 5G signal beamed from your closest cell phone tower, to inside your house where your modem is.

This just is not good for people`s health. The info is out there. Do some research.

Dude, you DO understand that these signals are coming into your house regardless, right? It’s BROADCAST, not DIRECTED.

It may just be my lack of trust of . . . well . . . just about anything and everyone, these days (LOL); but . . . .

Any time anything is offered with an agreement (whether reduced cost or not) "For Life", I smell something off. I never believe offers that seem 'too good to be true'. Seems like these deals usually means something like:

• the cost is going to reduce anyway,
• a competitor is coming out with better deal,
• this service will reduce in reliability or competitiveness,
• or
• some other service is about to get WAY BETTER

Will I miss out on a deal or two in my life? Probably. But, oh well.

5G NR: Massive MIMO and Beamforming – What does it mean

We have T-Mobile cell service and have no problems with it. But we tried the home internet and it was terrible. No idea why. We returned it during their trial period.

We have Spectrum now, but just the minimum. We don't have any gamers here anymore... just do live streaming and other basic internet stuff. It's fine. And I recently called and got a discount. But we have had TWO separate fiber-optic lines run down our street in the past few months -- one is Point, other is Alta. So there's some competition at least, finally.

Both of the friends I know who have it, got between 200 and 300 mbps download. I think t-mobile advertises less than 100 download.

Eww...i get disconnected gaming at those numbers and all of our tvs, phones ect pull off it as well...
Att has 1 gig fiber at 80 a month

I applied for this service in June. They got back to me yesterday to say that I can now get it. I have decided against it because I have the option for wired internet. I would rather minimize the 5g signals that are beamed to the house. My xfinity is costing 60 a month. 10 more than tmobile. I have cell phone. It is an older phone and I pay 15 a month through xfinity for that.

Those 5G signals are beamed to your house whether or not you subscribe. That's like saying your local FM broadcast does not reach your home unless you turn the radio on.....

Basically they have provided themselves with an out to give you whatever kind of service they want to.

No different than the fine print on most other residential Internet provider service agreements.

Nice research. The operative word is beamed. That is what some people are having a difficult time grasping. Having a device in your home that "captures" the signal that is being beamed, lends itself to a greater degree of radioactive frequencies being directed your way. Think of it in terms of an algorithmic lock on, where greater energies are sent your way to better decipher, decode, that which is sending a request for connection. In this case, an in home modem.
