@@SpeakermanGaming.Give a call over to spectrum because if your router has not been updated every 2 to 3 years your internet will drop. There is no extra cost to change the router. I’m looking at changing though because we pay out $236.69 a month for our internet, cable and mobile plans for two 2️⃣phones and a cellular watch.

I tryed T-mobile internet for 3 months, 2 kids that game , and I stream TV, so the caps of the local big internet providers were killing me. It only averaged 24mbps most of the time, which was surprisingly enough for it to keep up, but it would drop down to less than 5mbps several times a week, and nothing would work well. Sometimes, a reset would fix it. If I had a window that faced the tower, it might have worked, but as soon as AT&T came through with their fiber and no cap for only $20 more a month, I jumped on it!

Very pleased with the service and, since I'm a Verizon wireless customer, only $25 per month. Much better than my former AT&T DSL and a much lower cost and reliability.

[@jimmiemacd3603]

How did you find out where the t mobile tower was.

[@BillTxn]

We have been Google Fiber customers for a couple of years and are extreme;y satisfied with it. The monthly cost is $72 and includes one Google Wi-Fi transmitter. Due to the configuration of our home, we added a second transmitter for about $50 one-time purchase. Download and upload speeds are in the 900 Mbps range, and Google offers billing credits if there are outages. Google Fiber has been very dependable and outages are few. The additional benefit was that we were able to pull down a couple of decades' worth of cable wiring from the exterior of our home!

[@TomTerrific]

I just switched to Tmobile Gateway and it works most of the time, but lately I have had to do frequent reboots. I'm keeping track of them to see if I might need a new Gateway. It'as amazing that a Gateway on the 2nd floor can reach all the way to my Roku in the basement.

I appreciate the time you spent to inform your viewers. I have had Xfinity for about 5 years now and just this year my TV/Internet bill has gone up 3 times and it is only Sept. When I call Xfinity, I can never understand the person on the other end (no offense) and I don't want to offend them because they are just doing their job (bring customer service back to the US). I have to constantly threaten to leave in order for them to drop my price a ridiculous $20. HELP!!!!

[@DrosIntentions]

I have xfinity and after and during the storm still no internet and no ata also going through verizon for cell service and only getting 2 bars its really bad right now makes me feel like both companies may not be the best option due to xfinity raising the internet price for unlimited usually also for verizon its wild that the cell service is still down right now you'd think having 5g would help but no.. Also live right next to a tower.. I heard Mint is amazing for cell service due to flexabilty also have a friend who has had service this hole time during the icestorm. Sorry for the long rant but maybe it'll give you some perspective, If anyone knows a great unlimited internet option for Pc Gaming let me know!:)

Exactly I live in Palm Lake Dr which is in Jacksonville, Florida. And WiFi 5 goes up to 866 Mbps, WiFi 6 speed goes up to 1.2 Gbps, WiFi 6E speed goes up to 2.4 Gbps^2.

[@tjs114]

In our semi-rural area, none of the cellular services are worth a bleep. ATT/TMOBILE/VERIZON all claim we are in high coverage (5g ultra or whatever they call it), but when you bring the device into the area, we hardly have a signal at all, and the download speeds are in the kilobytes. The cable is Charter Spectrum and while they'll sell you 500Mbps or 1Gbps, the service rarely does better than about 50 to 80Mbps when it is up. AT&T dsl service is limited to 21Mbps but we've never seen that- more like 5 or 6Mbps. They've said we'd receive fiber since it was launched; but still no signs. Oh, and we're in the b-contour for antenna TV, so you need a 40+ft tall antenna, which isn't allowed in the area.

[@vapeking466]

This is why competition is good! It drives the prices down! I left cox cable for T-Mobile home Internet and never went back!

[@paulsmith9341]

It's coming up on a year with Tmo 5g home internet. I test every so often at all times of the day. I just checked the speed with Xfinity for 240mbps down and 21mbps up. That's the slowest up I've seen, usually at least twice that. Btw I read that there is no such thing as 10G. More bS from xfinity 8:10 pm central, 280 down 70 up

[@johnj28]

I just brought home T Mobile Home Internet for their 15 day trial. I currently have Spectrum 300 and I pay $110 a month for it which seems crazy. On first test, T Mobile is giving me wifi speeds over 400 mbps! That is actually almost twice as good as what I get with Spectrum. My wife works from home and must have secured network so not sure if it will work for us, but willing to try for the price!

[@burniemac09]

I'm using T-Mobile 5G home internet, and my experience is far better than when I had Spectrum. My average download speed is 400+ mbs download, but my upload speed averages almost 30 mbs (let me point out that T-Mobile's average download and upload speed is 2x faster than Spectrum's at half the price). I do have the luxury of having a T-Mobile tower about 2 miles from me. And I installed roof mounted antennas. Without the antennas on the roof, the performance I would get is comparable to Spectrum. I worked from home and I would get unexpected connection interruption with Spectrum. I've never experience any interruption with T-Mobile. I've tested T-Mobiles bandwidth by simultaneously streaming 4K contents on 4 4K tvs with little to no buffering. I'm truly impressed with T-Mobile. I would have never leave Spectrum if it delivered on its promise. Spectrum made me become a "Cord Cutter". I'm sure fiber internet has some kick ass speed, but I'm satisfied with what I'm getting with T-Mobile and the price. I did have 3 existing lines with T-Mobile before I switch to their internet, so my monthly cost comes out to $40. That's more that half of what I was paying for Spectrum.

[@jamesstarks3676]

I switched from T-Mo to AT&T fiberoptics. No fee install, better signal speeds, both up and down. The 300/300 plan at $55 is working well for me. It's just $5 bucks more than T-mobile and I can always pump it up to 500mb or $1 GB if I ever needed to in a flick of a switch. We are truly entering the zone where data speeds will no longer be an issue.

[@mikeslater6256]

And disk space used to be the final frontier

[@guadalupev30]

I added a TP-link wifi6 router to add to at&t. Works wonders.

[@chriswright8074]

That's the same with FiOS by Verizon but there is 49.99 with auto pay

[@BrianSpilker]

Like the idea of fiber but AT&T isn't guaranteeing any long term prices and will be just like the cable companies and start raising the rates after a year.

[@jamesstarks3676]

No contract, so no problem there. I could always switch to another fiber optic company and since AT&T installed the line for free, switching would be seamless. Also, keep in mind that there are more and more options coming daily so the thought of a price hike is not very likely. If anything, they may go down. Since I work from home, I actually upgraded to the 1GB speed at $80 per month. It's overkill for what I do, but the blazing speeds are so enjoyable.

[@bionicwoman9884]

I chose ATT fiber a long time ago it comes with HBO Max Included was grandfathered in with the HBO Max benefit I'm happy with the speed and reliability and hbo

[@slrpirate2372]

Thanks for the message. I completely agree and when and if a new provider comes to the area Spectrum will be gone. What is difficult to understand is Verizon ran fiber optic cable down our road and has not attempted to promote their service. The fiber has been installed now going on 2 years. Currently we are still hostage by Spectrum.

Any suggestions on finding out more concrete info on their roll outs? In the meantime, AT&T has been pushing their "Internet Air" 5g network in some areas where it would appear that they have no plan to roll out fiber, even though fiber is available about a half a mile away (suburban Sacramento). So far, the reviews that I have found for Internet Air are mostly negative. Do you plan to test this service soon? Thanks again

[@GeneSavage]

Interesting video. I'm using the gig service from AT&T fiber as I work from home (lots of video calls w/ customers and co-workers, uploading and downloading large presentations, etc.) and it runs about the same or cheaper than the local cable company (Cox)... and my impression is that it is MUCH more reliable. If I didn't feel like I needed the gig speed or the rock-solid reliability, I'd be looking hard at those 5G services...

[@CrossForum]

I'm in Southern California, recently switched to Spectrum from Frontier after also trying out T-Mobile and Verizon's 5G boxes. Frontier just kept raising prices at a furious pace and service was constantly being throttled. I've got a T-Mobile phone and it works great, but the 5G internet box was inconsistent in its operation, even with a cell booster in my home. Verizon's 5G box was similar and their $50 plan is only good for the first year (its $99 after that from the info I received). I needed a second cellphone anyway so Spectrum worked out for me. They installed a new line into my home from the phone pole in the back yard (the old one had degraded) and the tech hooked up both the modem and wireless while here (pretty simple so only about 5 minutes of his time), all for no extra charge. $60/mo for both cellphone and internet (200mps consistently, occasionally up near the 300mps rating) for two years. Three months into it and so far its working great. I did have to buy the new cellphone, but at a $40 one-time up front payment I thought it was a bargain.

[@icantdance6813]

Suddenlink has a home internet monopoly over my new little subdivision. When I complained over my rapidly increasing bill (it was up to nearly 200 bucks per month and rising for no legitimate reason) they started offering me huge discounts. I don’t live in an area T-Mobile home internet covers. I bought a hotspot mifi with T-Mobile but it didn’t work. Now I stream video via my mobile hotspots on 2 devices. Service here in and around Austin with T-Mobile is unpredictable lately. I didn’t have connectivity problems with T-Mobile until February this year. Since then the towers don’t seem to be working correctly. I spend hours troubleshooting with Tmobile technicians over the phone instead of streaming movies and video chatting with family. I hope they get better options for us here in Jarrell, TX soon.😢😢😢😢

Spectrum, which is 300 mpbs and costs 79.99 (because we don't bundle with their tv service anymore) + 5.00 equipment fee. The other choice is AT&T internet 25, which is only 25 mpbs and is 55.00 per month. That would save us 30.00 per month but is 25 mpbs fast enough? We don't do games, and we only have one tv and a desktop computer. We've dropped youtube tv and replaced it with frndly tv and paromount plus which totals about 15.00 per month but we are still just barely making it. Why are apartment complexes so limited in their choices? At the last house we lived in we had AT&T Internet 50 at 50 mpbs which seemed to work well for us. I don't understand the 25 mpbs speed limit here. The only way spectrum will lower the price is if we bundle with their tv service. We just can't afford it. Don't know what to do.

[@MichaelSaves]

Ugh -- this is tough. 25 Mbps *might* be OK, but if you use Wi-Fi like most people (not directly connecting devices to your gateway) the speed is often cut in half -- so 12.5 Mbps let's say. If I were you, I would probably stay with Spectrum if you can find $25 elsewhere in your budget to cut costs. It all depends on your priorities I would also keep an eye on T-Mobile and Verizon's 5G services as they expand.

[@urmanascrewed]

My apartment only has Cox which is $50 minimum. I think ~$40 is reasonable. My old apartment had Xfinity and I paid ~40. At a lower speed, but it was plenty for a single person.

[@deathbourne4168]

I’m paying $190 for Xfinity and did a little pricing comparison. T-mobile 5g is not available in my area, but AT&T Fiber is going to cost me $55 a month. It’s a no-brainer.

[@MichaelSaves]

There's a good gift card deal on AT&T Fiber right now with a promo code. If you go to my website, I have it toward the bottom of this page: michaelsaves.com/deals/deal-alerts/

We recently got Optimum 1 Gig fiber internet and it’s not bad, but setting it up and the customer service is terrible. It took over 2 days after installation to have the internet even go on.

[@joe102674]

Spectrum is my only provider I can get in my area but after a yr when then promotion runs out I have it shut off and put in another family members name, I do without home internet for one day but to me its worth it!

I have Xfinity 1G for my internet and 2 phones for my mobile with Xfinity. I pay $95 for internet and $30 for the 2 phones with unlimited text and calling. That's $125 a month for the internet and 2 phones. I got 2 Galaxy A53 5G phones for free around Christmas time. I use KZbin TV for my cable and have Netflix and Disney Plus for other streaming programing. Disney Plus gives me Hulu and ESPN Plus for $13 a month. Thanks for your time and videos.

[@MichaelSaves]

Great -- phone bundling helps out!

[@dappledandy]

I have AT&T Fiber 500. Wondering if 5G could provide same reliability? I can have two TVs on KZbin TV, a computer on the Internet, and a call using WIFI simultaneously. Should I switch?

[@latafairam]

1 year ago, i was paying att $110 for 1g fiber. I ordered tmobile and when i got the gateway I called att telling them I wanted to cancel. They offered to lower the price down to $60!! For a year. So I stayed. Today im paying $90, last month i paid $80. Appears to be increasing by $10 a month. I will have to call att again. Not sure what will happen.

[@asinheaven]

Northern Nevada - We have Spectrum cable and internet bundle with DVR. If it were just me, I'd drop the cable, but my husband is a die-hard sports fan: NFL, NBA, MLB so it seems we have to have a premium cable sports package. We're paying $275 month! Is there another way?

[@yes350yes]

Because Im a low income senior have been able to take advantage of the ACP gov sponsored program for the last 2 yrs which allowed me home internet for $17 . but now the gov is dropping those services but xfinity is still helping those customers. I still have xfinity and a rate of 100 mbts for $29.95 a month which is a great deal for me , and yes I have completely cut cable. Currently not using any streaming services but that is not to say that I wont add a service as needed during the winter for certain sports, that remains to be seen.

[@MichaelSaves]

Glad you were able to get on the $30 plan after ACP ended.

[@slrpirate2372]

The only provider we have in Upstate New York is Spectrum and it is 79.99 per month. When and if a new provider comes to the area we will kick Spectrum to the curb. Spectrum is a monopoly and has the subscribers hostage for now. State government has done nothing to protect the subscribers. Internet should be treated like a utility and regulated as such.

[@slrpirate2372]

BTW Spectrum purchased Time Warner Cable in Upstate New York and all the infrastructure was already installed. So all Spectrum did was purchase the existing company and jack up prices. Really nothing changed except the monthly charge. Spectrum did nothing but take over TW. Again the benefit of monopoly. They are the only internet provider in the area. Now Spectrum has closed the local service offices. Internet monthly charges have doubled since the take over and Spectrum's stock price has increased by ripping off the former Time Warner subscribers. Again, where is our government protection? When you are the only bar in town drinks get expensive.

[@nunyabidnes5253]

That’s around what I used to pay when Spectrum first took over. The price has gone up exponentially each year. Last summer my bill reached $105/month. It’s irritating but I haven’t been able to find a different provider for my area. As you said, they pretty much have a strangle hold on people in my area right now. I’ve still been looking around and trying to find something else. The second something comes up, I’m dropping them. Their customer service is terrible, and as much as we are paying, we still have difficulty streaming movies in our house semi regularly. Trash company.

[@jimpearson1543]

I currently have Optimum 1gig plus cable plus a land line. Its gone up from $170 to $213 in a year. I have Ring cameras plus Ring Pro so I need more internet speeds than most.

[@CECE1839]

Yes, we have both, ATT Fiber 1000 GB, No Data Cap and TMobile 5G as a supplement, it works, So far …So Good.

[@TurboSpeedWiFi]

Exactly the best use I have found for 5G home internet so far is to supplement a real internet connection. It is basically a glorified mobile hotspot with unlimited deprioritized data. In no way is it a proper home internet connection.

[@SWLinPHX]

The average cost of 500 mbps speed plan with Cox in Phoenix is $90/mo. (more for faster, less for slower), though I get bundled and special promotional discounts. However, expanded cable TV, Showtime, HBO and box rentals (except for DVR's and CableCARDs) are included with our HOA fee. So cutting the cord would be dumb because we are still paying for it (at about 70% off) thru our bulk contract for the resort condo community where I live. Therefore, when my latest DVR rental died a month ago, I turned it in and got a no-fee receiver box only, then ordered a new Tivo Edge for cable with CableCARD from Cox (which does cost $6/mo. since not included in our HOA like standard receiver boxes are). The Tivo Edge with no subscription fees (lifetime paid) and a 5-yr. warranty plan was just $450+ tax. I was paying at least that in monthly DVR box rental & service fees in less than two years with Cox.

[@SWLinPHX]

If I had to pay full price for cable I probably would cut the cord.

[@MichaelSaves]

Understood. I live in Florida and there are a lot of people here in similar situations because cable is part of the HOA fee.

[@SWLinPHX]

@@MichaelSaves Ah yes, Florida. The "other" resort state with private condo communities and often notorious HOA's, LOL. It might be wise to mention those whose cable is included so as not to imply that everyone who has a cable subscription (or looks for a solution that includes one) isn't just stubborn, foolish or wasting money, which is sort of the implied tone of your cord-cutting videos, although it is understandable -- and I mostly agree.

Don't forgot about frontier fiber, blazing fast! The have deals going on now with free installation and free equipment.

[@carlhammill5774]

Biggest issue is pricing. Sure Xfinity is faster but in our area its $100 month just for internet. If T mobile can just make it so there is no obvious drop in speed and price around $50 month then I believe they will take most of market share in just few years.

[@joycejones5796]

I've had T-Mobile home internet for 2yrs. My speeds range from 175-320 mbps. I'm in the NYC area no complaints.$50 a month......

[@jayaudette2063]

I've had T--Mobile home internet service for almost two years now. I wouldn't be using it if I was still working. My download speeds are never over 35 Mbps and I have very frequent, like multiple times a day, drop outs. Sometimes for hours at a time. Then miraculously, sometimes I go for weeks with no problems at all. When it works, it's fantastic, when it don't , it's really frustrating. I guess I'm just at the fringe of the towers effective range, and I don't have the new receiver/router I don't have to tear apart to add a external antenna.

[@SWLinPHX]

My sister bought land in the desert almost 20 years ago then built her custom dream house on it and moved in in 2009. Problem is, as nice as it is, Cox cable (the local ISP) was not in her area and neither was the phone company's fiber optic network, because it wasn't a pre-planned community with several track homes built and laid out with fiber optic and cable in advance then sold individually. So up until a couple months ago, she was getting at most 1.5 mbps and sometimes as low as 600 kbps! That is because neither fiber optic or cable was in her immediate area (though she lives in Phoenix) she was forced to go with the phone company's old copper lines, and they are only as fast as their nearest service hub. For the longest time her only other option was satellite which is very expensive and not as reliable due to whether. She has DirecTV thru them but the Internet speed was so shameful that I could barely get the Ring cameras I installed and set up there to work. Finally, two months ago as a Verizon customer she got the 5G home Internet and for her even 100mbps is screaming (after all, it is 100x what she's been getting for 14 years)!

[@DeadSilence27]

That was a interesting story

[@kennypowerz1267]

I just called AT&T , they said fiber optic isn't offered in my area. Time to make a change. 👍👍👍👍

I have had Comcast internet and TV forever . The price I pay with all the fees and taxes is appx . $195 per month. I called up about just having internet from Comcast ($100 per month) and getting KZbin TV ($75 monthly) ...so if I change .. I'm not really saving any money. I am only at my home 50% of the time as I travel almost every weekend and work outside of my home 4 days a week.

[@koilover7740]

Love your video. ??? How can I find out how fast the speed for T-Mobile

[@JJFlores197]

T-Mobile Home Internet is 5G meaning its wireless. Speeds can vary a lot depending on where you live, how far you are from a cell tower, congestion, etc.

[@ChrisWilliams-vm1do]

Switched from XFINITY (internet, cellular, tv) to Fidium Fiber, KZbin TV & T-Mobile. XFINITY just got too expensive. Now, fewer contracts, faster internet, & cheaper. It is a bit of a hassle switching mobile providers. Now I’m watching KZbin TV, along with my other streaming services through my Apple TV 4k. It’s a pretty amazing experience. Highly recommend if you’re already part of the Apple ecosystem.

[@davekolp4552]

I switched to At&t fiber from spectrum. Best thing I've done in a while. Faster cheaper.

[@michaelcrawley7597]

Thanks for being truthful about for fiber. Most households do not need the upload speed that fiber provide even those that work from home. One thing you should have mentioned is that most gamers aren't good enough to take advantage of the milliseconds of ping that the fiber provides. Plus a fiber network is more expensive to maintain. That means eventually that cost will be passed on to the consumer. As far as wireless internet goes. Equipment will have to keep up with demand. It matters how far you are away from the node and how many more customers are in between. For all the free advertising you're giving them I hope T- Mobile has one right above your house. 😀

[@danram247]

I had at&t internet service since the DSL days like 20 years ago or so...now i have 1GB Fiber and I never had any major issues and at&t would always work with me on pricing. Currently I'm paying $70 for 1GB speeds and that includes HBO MAX...so its a good deal. I don't really need that much speed but since the 1GB plan included HBO Max I got it.

[@jasonjoyce7835]

You're paying for 1Gb speed. 1GB would be much faster (and much more expensive) if they even offered it.

[@TurboSpeedWiFi]

@@jasonjoyce7835 They deliver the speed consistently as do most fiber internet providers. 1 Gbps as in 950 Mbps which is the theoretical max speed.

[@MrBunet1900]

I still love my T-Mobile Home Internet. The average speed for me is about 120mbps. Ping time is about 25ms.

[@MichaelSaves]

Thank you for adding your experience!

[@williamking8085]

I signed up for T-Mobile Home Internet about a year ago. The first 2 weeks were great… then it went to shit & has remained shitty. The excuse is always that T-Mobile is updating their towers. Most recently I was told that when there is a heavy Home Internet VS Cell demand, T-Mobile gives preference to cell coverage which makes Home Internet even slower. I have repeatedly had videos freeze & pages not load. It has been common to have speeds as low as 6.7Mbps. So. I cancelled T-Mobile Home Internet & I would not encourage anyone to purchase T-Mobile Home Internet if you live near Cleveland, Ohio. My T-Mobile cell service is flawless just about anywhere I go. I am an Over The Road Truck Driver.

[@jonathanreich6360]

I live right under a 5G T-Mobile strip and we get speeds of around 300 mbps although only promised 50. This works much better than our previous broadband from Cox which had many more outages and also seemed to bottleneck certain streaming channels.

[@jonathanreich6360]

I have to do a slight amendment since I jinxed myself there. The Router had some issues but we were able to replace it easily other than T-Mobile not sending a new SIM card with the new router and it taking a while for me to find that out.

[@itry2brational]

Odd since AT&T was the best option in my area. I have the 1gb plan and using MOCA devices my son gets over 800mbs on his Xbox during a speed test. We have a large home and the MOCA devices worked flawlessly.

[@nagromnagrom4300]

I'm in the Houston area and I have Xfinity as my internet provider. I pay $50/month for 800gbps. There's no contract. However, I do have an agreement that the price won't change for 2 years. A month before the agreement ends, I start looking for better deals. I have my own equipment which saves me about $15/month and I have auto pay which saves an additional $10/month. The only downside is that you're capped at 1229gbs for the month. If you go over, you're charged $10 for 50 extra gbs. They give you 2 complimentary months to use if you go over.

[@littlebanshee]

You can usually pay for the Xfi service which is an extra amount not more than $50 extra a month that I’m aware of. Then no cap at all. I had to get it as we kept going over. I’ll have to verify how much I pay I think it’s $30 a month.
