Anyone else using the 5G home internet? I just hooked it up today to see if it’s a viable solution since my Xfinity bill went up to $200/mo.
I’ve only used it for a few hours, but it seems pretty decent. Anyone have some decent run time that can provide feedback on long term usage?
I used it for a bit, but I wasn’t able to do my job because my work requires IPv4 to IPv4 direct connections (e.g. SSH between Linux servers over IPv4).
As I understand, 5G mobile networks are IPv6 native, there is an IPv4 compatibility layer but it’s limited and not useful for my needs.
Outside of that though, I didn’t have any other problems and seemed fine, was able to watch HD movies while browsing the internet etc.
I have been using it for around 10 months now. The first couple months were great, but now it loses connection multiple times per week and that is only resolved after rebooting the modem. There was also a two week period that they were working on the tower and resulted in me having no internet during that time. It’s definitely annoying, but the only other option I have is CenturyLink DSL. If I had fiber or cable internet available, I would use that instead, but the slow DSL speeds make it worth putting up with T-Mobile’s unreliability.
