If you have other options, do not use this. I cannot get work done on it, and it gets slow a lot. I was doing TEFL tutoring online, but I cannot do that anymore since moving in with my mom and step-father in the countryside. I would say it is the countryside, but it won't even let me connect my two computers to each other. It blocks it. You cannot link more than one device or object to another. And when it comes to running video call, it will completely kick your device off the network and make it impossible to do any kind of video chat work. The only fix is to restart the device, but if you open a video chat you get kicked off again. Often when the internet starts getting slow in general, I have to restart the device and it works fine again. I don't know why anyone would use this unless it was their only option.

I'm so disappointed! After raving to friends and family on my experiences with T-Mobile, we are now 50 hours being down the T-Mobile home Internet and cell service. I can't get a straight answer except 18 more hours and when that passes 6 more hours, etc. I understand we had a wind storm but.... this is the 6th outage in 4 months. Not a good record.

I was with T-Mobile for over 3 years.. The service was not that great. It would go in and out sometimes. Other times it would be extremely slow. But I don't use it like most people do so I just dealt with the inconvenience.. My bill was $50 every month and I noticed another company had a monthly rate that was cheaper So I switched companies. When I called T-Mobile to cancel my service they offered me a lower rate which they could have done all along. But I continue to cancel my service and they did not tell me that the auto pay that I had been signed up on for 3 years was going to be cut off when I canceled my service therefore it made my last bill late.
I feel like the representative should have communicated to me and made me aware that that was going to happen and I would have taken care of the bill then because I have never been late .. So they billed me a $10 late fee and I called customer service after I had went and returned the equipment to the store and they said they would do a courtesy and remove the $10. But then I got another bill for another $10 because I was late on the original $10 late fee. The one that they done a courtesy credit removing it from my account and now if I don't pay the $10 it is going to add another $10 late fee on to it every month. Just increasing my balance by $10 every month for a service that I know longer have. If their representative would have been forthcoming about all the details this would not be an issue. They left out a key piece of information that would have taken care of all of this and there would be no issues to resolve..

When selling home internet, they say the price is $45, but they don't mention that this is the price if you have a T-Mobile line. They also don't offer a refund. For your information. 000 star.

My husband had internet with them after they bought out lumas. It was a nightmare to cancel it 'cause he went back to spectrum. Finally after abt a month he got it all done. Than they want to send him a bill for 70 dollars. They are the worst. Let me just say the phone service is t abt better. So please be aware of them. So it was back and forth for us to the store an on the phone for days. Good luck to all…

If I could give zero stars I would. Have harassed me when I returned the internet box in perfect condition. Only had it 2 1/2 weeks. Sent it back. 2 1/2 months have passed and now you want to say the product is broken. I will contact a lawyer over T-Mobile and their customer service. I recommend to never use T-Mobile unless you wanna be stuck paying on a product that’s terrible and they are responsible for. Once it leaves the handlers hands that’s it.

I wanted to try an alternative to Xfinity, the only standalone internet available in my area. When I checked with T Mobile they said they had wireless high speed internet available at my home. Set up was easy but that’s where it went downhill. Best speeds were 20 Mbps but often worse. I tried it for almost 4 weeks and then dropped the service. My problems with T Mobile continued as it took 4 months to get the refund from the prepaid plan, 10 on line chats, 6 phone calls and visits to 3 T Mobile stores. Don’t bother with this service, it’s terrible.

I have had T Mobile Home Internet for several years. The reliability and service has been excellent until about 2 months ago. I started experiencing slowness and several disconnections per day. Contacted T-Mobile and Customer service very helpful and suggested I update to the latest Gateway. I did this about 2 weeks ago and the problems seem worse. I contacted T-Mobile and was told they have made antenna changes in my area and some of the antennas used for my area go around and below my house. Makes no sense but was told that is the way it is. Needless to say I will be looking for a different provider.

In early Dec. 2025, after having T-Mobile cell and internet for a year, the internet became extremely unstable beginning a very intermittent action. I contacted T-Mobile support but their action always leads to a pin necessary to continue, and the previous pin never seems to work, so every time you initiate a call, it takes minutes and a necessary pin in order to contact three support personnel, always the same procedure. Three support people were unable to fix that problem and opted to send a new modem.
Well; the new modem-router, whatever called did not work!, Again the same waste of time, three support personnel, a necessary pin, more lies, cannot fix that problem! I called again, now is almost Xmas, another man tells me that the tower has been under repair since early Dec., whos is telling me all the lies for weeks? Is the personnel advised to mislead or do they do it on their own? Too many misleading actions, never again, T-Mobile is a misleading monster by definition.

My low review score isn't necessarily from the speed (MBPS) of the service, rather it's from T-Mobile's delusional aspirations of making EVERYONE do things through the T-Life App, why, so they can save money!!! Problem is, every time I have to call in for Home Internet Tech Support, I know I'm gonna wait for hold for 60-90 minutes, FOR A TECH SUPPORT ISSUE!! Google it, I just did and see that it's a systemic problem and there's no end in sight, in fact, it's only gonna get worse as T-Mobile execs buckle down on using T-Life.
My parents had an issue with their phone, went to a T-Mobile store because that's what seniors are comfortable with and they got this whole spiel about signing in through the app before helping, my dad being retired military, said ok and walked out the door, walked across the parking lot and opened a Verizon account and went home and cancelled T-Mobile. It's a sad, sad day when something as stupid as that happens, but those same T-Life stories are everywhere on social media. It feels like this is some ridiculous middle school experiment where a 12-year-old comes up with an idea everyone knows isn't going to work, but just to appease the 12-year-old, they let him try his little experiment, except this experiment is causing T-Mobile to lose customers/money, and the quarterly numbers show that. But don't expect anything to change, the new incoming CEO has pledged to keep pushing the T-Life App, where customers will be expected to do EVERYTHING!!
Rather than write a long review, don't get T-Mobile Home Internet. When it's up and running good, you can get some pretty good speeds, but more times than not you're frustrated with how can my speeds jump by 700-800 MBPS. This is now the 3rd time where I get locked in to the 80-90 Mbps range because the router didn't properly update with the tower, the ONLY fix apparently is a NEW router, which I've been sent. But having to wait 60-90 minutes to be told that you have to wait another 2-4 days to receive the fix, a new router. I'm done...Until T-Mobile figures out that going cheap isn't the best customer service, there are too many other options, I'm so ticked by about this whole T-Life App thing that we are SERIOUSLY considering Verizon.
Oh BTW, don't plan on using the T-Life App for maintenance issues and a general dashboard for your router as it's supposed to be, 90% of the time the APP DOES NOT WORK! Something as simple as restarting the router can't even be done, I continually get a message "Oops, something went wrong, try again." So I have to get up and walk upstairs and physically unplug the router, the APP is an ABSOLUTE FRICKING JOKE, we can't even get verified through T-Life because we can't for some reason get messages through T-Life...A JOKE!!
So way to go T-Mobile, you managed to build the best network in the US, but in doing so, you somehow forgot how to use that to your advantage. Instead, we have some hair-brained idea that is PROVING to push customers to other networks, the quarterly numbers are proving that, hopefully, shareholders will band together and bring a little "reality" back to what should be a well-oiled machine that let's the best network in the US speak for itself.
When we came to T-Mobile 13-14 years ago, customer service was FANTASTIC and even though at the time T-Mobile was NOT as good as Verizon and AT&T, we really appreciated the extra care. Personally, we would take T-Mobile's subpar 2013-2014 network over today's best network and piss poor customer service, it's not the customer service reps' fault, this is straight from the top. I gave up after 2-hours on hold tonight, so my issue continues with NO HELP FROM T-MOBILE. Why would we stay with them???
But I'm sure that's exactly what T-Mobile wanted, me to just go away and hang up. Well, you got your wish, T-Mobile, we are going away, we are cancelling Home Internet, and are going to the Verizon store tomorrow to look into cancelling phone service as well. What good is a service if there's piss poor customer service that comes with it?? How can one man, John Legere, save a failing business and revive it in the way he did, only for the next guy and his successor to be hell bent on bringing everything that was built so brilliantly down! I know what I'll be informing my other fellow veterans to do!! This is a clear cut, wrong people in the wrong positions!!

The absolute worst experience I've ever had with an internet provider! I don't have the time or energy to go into details. I can only warn you to BEWARE of T-Mobile. They have the absolute worst customer service. They will make you jump through multiple hoops to get the simplest task done. I don't believe any human beings work for them; only AI chatbots that flatter and cajole you, but can't actually answer your questions or connect you to the right "agent" (another AI chatbot). I would rather have NO internet service than T-Mobile!

Have had T-Mobile for about 7 years. Got their at-home internet. Goes out multiple times every single day. Average 500 kbps upload. Just called in because I couldn't even get Youtube to load and they said "we're reading 400mbps". Yeah, I saw those ads too, but my reality is the opposite. Not even upset at the customer service. Just the shit service that I pay monthly for. Comcast would be better. McDonald's free wifi is better. Will be finding a new provider asap and will never recommend T-mobile to anyone else. Been having service tower issues for 2 months. No apologies, no discounts and not estimated time of repair.

We switched our ISP to T-Mobile 3 weeks ago. The first installation of their equipment was miserable, not done correctly, so we had NO INTERNET CONNECTION for 3 more days. The second installer caused a major electrical shortage in an adjacent room, our kitchen, which disabled our security system as well a 4 additional electrical outlets. SO AGAIN, we were back on the phone, waiting forever to get through to ANYONE who will give a ** about this issue that T-Mobile created.
We’re now at three weeks with problem after problem, waiting for an electrician to come and fix this issue. The internet connection is VERY SPOTTY throughout our house, and we don’t even have a big house. We NEVER had any problems like this with xfinity, and their modem was small and gave our whole house connection. T-Mobile drilled a hole through the outside brick of our house and fed a LONG cable into OUR DINING ROOM. So now, all of their equipment sits on the floor of my dining room, and we now have a hole in the wall right next our dining room table. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! I wish we had never let T-Mobile talk us into their unreliable service.

Internet went out on 1/17. Stayed on phone about 1 hour trying to get older gateway to work. I have been with Tmobile internet for almost 3 years. The problem started when I asked if I could return Nokia gateway to my local t mobile store. After about 7 minutes or so the rep came back to phone, stated that the rule had changed two weeks ago that I could not exchange gateway at any store. The gateway had to be ups to my door step which would take 2 to 3 business days smdh. I fell for that solution. I then a day later stopped by a tmobile store. I was told I could have returned to the which mean I could have had internet the next day. I then called customer back who said I could stop the order (this was Saturday the next day). I was given $25 off but I explained that I need internet to make money. I will lose hundreds. I was told I could cancel next day and stop order.
I went to store, called customer service and was told that they could not stop ups delivery. Store associate had gateway in his hand ready to give to me!! Customer service associate stated that the reason why it was shipped was because my house was not close to corporate store. Store and customer on two different communications. I will be canceling service. Ps the whole time I was being solicited by each customer service and store associate to get phone service. I only have internet service. With no regard to my situation. No internet smdh. Why would I want tmobile phone service now?

Tried T-Mobile All-In 1 Gig Home Internet service for almost 2 months. Not worth the frustration and headaches!!! While Gateway signal strength was almost always Excellent or Good, data speeds were inconsistent with periodic buffering while streaming. The Gateway Router was located high next to a huge home window in the middle of Tampa where cell towers are numerous.
As we’ve read in several reviews, T-Mobile’s Internet service shares the same towers as their cell phone service, with cell phone service taking priority over internet service during peak usage times late afternoon and at nights and weekends. Typically from 4 pm on, Internet signal strength slows down with recurring buffering issues while streaming. Buffering typically lasts for several minutes each time, sometimes requiring TV to be turned off and process restarted. Even when Internet signal strength is Excellent and speeds are very fast in the 400+ range, buffering while watching TV occurs quite often! Mesh units are dropped by the Gateway several times weekly and have to be reset.
Too many hours were spent on the phone with T-Mobile’s techs to troubleshoot and nothing worked!!! Their sign-up offer said first month Internet service was free when we signed up, but they refused to honor the ad since it was changed 2 weeks AFTER we started service. T-Mobile’s streaming Internet service has a lot of problems, just search online reviews. Don’t waste your time or money!!!

This might be the worst company I’ve ever seen. I hope they go out of business. I canceled my service. Turned in my equipment. Next thing I know they’re charging for another month. I gave them a call. They said, "Sorry sir. We cannot take this back off. It’s already been charged." I will never go with this company again. I just hope they go out of business. That’s my thought and that their service was pretty bad. You were lucky you got 50 cycles so I had to pay an extra $50 for another month and I didn’t even have them.

Never use T-mobile 5G home internet service.. On Sept. 23 2025 we ordered T-mobile 5G home internet service and set up the auto pay. The internet service drops every day. We called the technical support and the answer is "just turn the power off and on in a minutes". But it is getting worse after a few week. On Oct 25 we returned the device and we got the bill of 114.38 at the same day (for the one month and 2 days).
We called in and explained the situation. Carles (the lady who answered phone) told us to pay 85 and said that she give us the rest as credit. On Nov 22 we got another bill of 58.71. We called in again and Jim (the service man who answered phone) told us to wait for the December bill which will include credit and fees. On Dec 22, 2025 we got the final bill 59.88. The explain is: On Oct 21, the account got suspended (because the Auto payment setting up does not work) and the suspension fee is 24.56. In addition. It charged 10 for payment support fee. So we paid 144.88 for a unreliable 5G home internet for one month and 2 day's service.

Since signing up for T-Mobile Home Internet in August 2025, my experience has been nothing short of disappointing. What was marketed as a fast, reliable alternative to traditional broadband has turned into one of the most inconsistent and frustrating services I’ve ever used. From the beginning, the connection has been wildly unpredictable — reliable for a few hours at best, then suddenly dropping to unusable speeds or disconnecting entirely. Streaming, video calls, and even basic web browsing frequently stall or fail to load. I’ve spent more time troubleshooting the gateway device and contacting support than actually using the internet I’m paying for.
Customer support has done little to resolve these ongoing problems. Responses feel scripted and rarely result in any meaningful improvement. Each time I’m told to “reposition the gateway” or “wait for network optimizations,” yet the performance never stabilizes. It’s baffling how a national carrier can market a product this unreliable without addressing the underlying service issues.
This isn’t a minor inconvenience — it’s a completely unreliable service that promises high performance but consistently fails to deliver. For those considering T-Mobile Home Internet as a primary connection, I’d strongly advise against it until the company demonstrates it can provide stable, dependable coverage. Right now, it’s an overpriced source of constant frustration.

After having T-Mobile internet a year or so I took the box back and went with AT&T because T-Mobile's only runs 2 tvs at a time. They had written the wrong box ID number in their records (the one they had written down was still in stock) so they didn't know how to write up my return (due to their error as the number they had down was still in stock). They explained that due to their error I would be required to pay $250 to clear my record as I wasn't returning the one on their erroneous record (as, again, it was still in stock). Apparently, they can't see their error as they had written the wrong number in their records. which, as I said, the one on my record was still in stock. Needless to say, I refuse to pay $250 for their error. Perhaps they should have just given me the one in stock that they had erroneously recorded as mine and allowed me to return it back. Use extreme caution when using their internet.
