What a difference a year makes. Since that initial review, T-Mobile has aggressively improved its network, building it out with the zippy, mid-band 5G radio spectrum
), I found the service to be often unreliable and definitely slower than my Xfinity connection. Back then, the folks at Comcast didn’t have much to worry about.
This is actually the third iteration of a T-Mobile home internet service. The first version, launched in 2020, was built on 4G LTE service. The following year, 5G was added. And in 2022, the telecom is switching on in more markets the 2.5-GHz mid-band it acquired from Sprint, and expanding availability of those frequencies in areas where it already launched.
After learning that T-Mobile’s 5G wireless gateways – devices that convert 5G cellular signals into Wi-Fi in your home – can tap into the mid-band spectrum, I asked the telecom to give me another look. Last year, the Nokia gateway was getting between 140-200 Mbps downloads, with lows of 35 Mbps and a high of 300 Mbps. Now, the average range starts at 200 and goes to 350 Mbps. I have gotten peak download speeds over 500 Mbps, and lows to 30 Mbps, but both are rare.
Last weekend, though, my download speeds dropped to under 100 Mbps and stayed there until Sunday night, when they returned to normal. A T-Mobile representative speculated that mobile traffic may have been heavy in my area, de-prioritizing my home service, but that seems unlikely. There was no event around me, and street traffic was normal for a weekend.
