This is awesome. Although personally I&#x27;m sticking with 1Gbps fiber, it&#x27;s great to see competition in the ISP market.<p>5G Home internet alongside Starlink is going to <i>hopefully</i> make current ISPs stop their anti consumer behaviors.

I live in an area where cable&#x2F;fiber is not an option, and have been using T-Mobile Home Internet for a while now.<p>People in other locations will surely have different experiences, but for me it just works okay and the signal is poor. In rainy weather, it degrades even worse. Even with a Cel-Fi booster and directional antenna, the signal is worse than AT&amp;T without any booster. While I sometimes get 50 Mbps down, usually going over 20 Mbps gets a bunch of latency and packet loss.<p>For backup, I have an AT&amp;T hotspot, which performs much better but is limited to 100GB. I get 120 Mbps down on this with no degradation.

TMobile has a great service. I&#x27;m on their $15 unlimited talk and text including 2GB 5G, having moved away from Google Fi who billed me $50 for reselling exactly that. Trouble is dealing with the lying salespeople in the TMobile stores. It&#x27;s really a slap in the face to have to speak with someone who is plainly lying to you to up their commission. TMobile would actually be more competitive if they had no stores IMO. But I would never accept 5G over Sonic Fiber. Never.

Too bad it says fixed location. This would be great for my parents that want to have unlimited internet while driving in an RV.
