Reply to comment by schoolbusserman in Xfinity subscribers, what are we paying for? I haven't had cable in 11 years and I don't watch sports. Xfinity gave me the vaguest answer. by DistilledBrookie7

I have had tMobile internet in western Mass for over a year and I love it. Flat $50 a month.

What kind of speed do you pay for vs what you actually get?

I got spectrum when I moved West and it was like 70 a month for 400 down, which I actually get most of the time. Of course it was just an “introductory rate” that was a surprise to me, and now I’m paying 90.

We had a tech come out once when we had slow speeds/drops and he was a saint. Replaced a bunch of cables inside and outside the house and was super friendly.

Fuck Comcast

I just ran a test.

It says 152.5 download and 56.4 upload. I am not a gamer, but I am a reseller so I'm on the computer all the time and with no cable TV I stream all the time...no issues. I zoom/google meet every week, no issues.

I thought I could add a screen print but I don't see how.

Also, just FYI, T-mobile internet is not actually "approved" yet for this area. The woman told me I could get the modem free, test it, and then return it for free if it didn't work.

This could be changed, I've had it for over a year now.

So I did that and of course never returned it.

I will say the only problem I have is very rarely, maybe twice a month, it will momentarily drop then come right back...I don't know why it does this, and really didn't seem worth calling them about.

And no set up, just plug it in. It does have ethernet connections which I do use.

So it's not 400 but I personally don't need it to be that fast.

Hope this helps...got so sick of Comcast inching up the bill every month...started at $95 just for internet and I think it was $119 when I cancelled.
