I have had no outages with the Cheetah and get consistent 150mb to 300 mb speeds with no external antenna. I only get 7 to 10 mb upload but it works fine for us. Every bill from T-Mobile has been $50 with all taxes for unlimited data, so we are very happy with the service. Thanks for all the reviews, you inspired me to try this on my own.

I was for a short time with this 5G offering. The good - the process of getting the hardware was easy. Support at every level (for me) was excellent. When all hooked up, I was very happy to find the sweet spot in a room and get great speed. The bad - the speed fluctuates and on certain days and times, it would drop to truly unusable speeds. The bottom line is, it appears that 5G internet users are last to be serve from the local tower(s) as phone users get first access. I could be wrong about the latter but doubt it. Sadly, I had to return the equipment and go back to traditional cable for now. I'll say it again - the biggest challenge for me was when there was traffic congestion with the tower, my internet speed just didn't suffer it became unusable at times.

Fortunately, a local store had one, and you are right about the Gateways, I got the newer white with external antenna connections. My biggest complaint with them is that they are always upgrading, and I have to keep unplugging the gateway. My speeds go from 50 to over 400mbs. I have 2 towers,1 is 1 mile and the other is 2 miles. I would think being that close, I would get Excellent reception.

What are your thoughts on the FCC broadband label differences? Over a 100mbit difference between rely and amplified plans. Several users on reddit have been reporting some massive speed drops on the old plans since the introduction of the new amplified plans. Even users with G4AR and G4SE gateways. Thoughtsm Did TMO change prioritization for their plans to push people to use the amplified plan? Would love to see some tests run showing differences between plans during "peak" times on a moderately congested tower.
@NaterTater2 күн бұрын
I'm not convinced that t-mobile is treating the SIM any different from Rely to Amplified plans. Maybe they have data the G4AR/G4SE is a little faster, hence the data label differences. I would believe that tmobile is now being more selective on who gets what gateway. I think the folks complaining their speed is all of a sudden slowing down is just regular variation that happens to align with the new plan announcements. I could be wrong, it'll take some time to confirm.
@QuentinStoneYTКүн бұрын
I'm also one of the ones affected. I'm getting less than half of my normal download speeds down to what aligns with the old FCC label max speeds ever since the announcement. Before the announcement, I was getting over 600. This is even before hitting the 1.2 TB limit.

They need to stop locking you to a specific tower. I had a situation where they had a connection issue at the tower, but the tower was still talking to my modem. The result is that no internet and it wouldn't go look for another tower because the primary tower connection was working. After messing around long enough, I managed to get into my Cheetah and switch it to LTE which uses a different tower. Had to stay like that for a couple weeks while they fixed the issue with the 5g tower. I only know there was an issue with the 5g tower because I finally called them, once I knew what was happening, that's when I switched back to LTE. Without a BYO modem, the customer would not be able to do this and why the tower lock is a problem.
