I recently received an invitation to get home internet service from T-Mobile.
The idea is that in areas where they have excess capacity, they can offer LTE internet speed (expected to be around 50 mbps) to home customers. They provide a "gateway" which is essentially just a router and you place it in your home wherever you get a good T-Mobile signal. They you can connect your devices to it via WiFi.
The cost is a flat $50/month, which sure beats the $86 I pay the cable company now.
I've ordered it, and plan to try it out side-by-side with the cable internet for a couple of months. If it's good and stable, I'll cancel the cable subscription.
Only limited areas right now, so you have to use their website to see if your location is available. Here's the scoop:
Home Internet done right
