Aside from your home address, the field doesn&#x27;t validate data input for practical correctness. This is important because t-mobile forces you to consent to marketing in order to find out availability, but you can still check for rough availability with garbage information (incl. an e.g. 1-nnn-555-nnnn number and a mailinator or equally disposable email address) and an address near you, ideally an address that&#x27;s an empty lot or nonexistent&#x2F;halfway between homes.<p>It&#x27;s also why I flagged the post -- t-mobile is seeking marketing opt-ins with this effort, and that&#x27;s about it. A genuine lookup service wouldn&#x27;t force opt-in consent in this manner.

&gt; By checking this box you agree that T-Mobile can contact you about purchasing T-Mobile Home Internet, including future Home Internet offers, via autodialed call, email, or text to the number provided above. Consent is not a condition of purchase; you may also call 1-844-839-5057 to get started. (required)<p>&quot;Check Availability&quot; does nothing useful. The landing page is an opt-in lead generation tool.

Long-term T-mo data subscriber here, on &quot;unlimited data&quot; plan. The catch being that any amount going out over the hotspot beyond a plan-specific limit, and NOT qualifying for T-mo&#x27;s Binge-On tier is throttled to 2G speeds i.e. unusable. Access to current month remaining data of the critical service slice -- high-speed hotspot -- remains difficult: many taps&#x2F;clicks required<p>Other &quot;issues&quot;:<p>Payment website this month stopped supporting Firefox. Responds with cryptic complaint about &quot;client ID&quot; upon entering account phone number.<p>Website loops in third-party trackers, Facebook ...

Just as an anecdote &#x2F; FYI, since I had an LLC registered, I signed up for Teltik which uses T-Mobile and got a 5MB&#x2F;month hotspot plan through them. Got my dad a nice LTE hotspot (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B01N5ASNTE&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;product&#x2F;B01N5ASNTE&#x2F;</a>) and that&#x27;s what he uses for his home internet. Obviously his usage is modest - no streaming media (Netflix, etc.), but some YouTube. However, it is so much better than the previous FreedomPop &#x2F; DataJack stuff we used before, although those were dirt, dirt cheap.<p>I ran a quick Speed Test check on his connection, and got 29 Mb&#x2F;s down and 15 Mb&#x2F;s up. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.speedtest.net&#x2F;result&#x2F;7621011424" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.speedtest.net&#x2F;result&#x2F;7621011424</a> (about 14 months ago.) Obviously this will vary by location!<p>When I had Comcast, I believe it showed me monthly usage, and I think it was something like 20 GB per month. That&#x27;s with heavy Netflix&#x2F;Hulu usage every evening. This wireless internet would probably work for us speedwise... but because I live somewhere that offers both Comcast and Verizon FIOS, I&#x27;m able to get 100&#x2F;100 Mbps service for $40&#x2F;month. And that&#x27;s a wire into my home and no concern over hidden data caps (at my usage levels). I wouldn&#x27;t choose wireless over that unless there was significant savings.

I&#x27;m very interested in knowing more, but even as a current subscriber I am really uncomfortable with the pressure this form is putting on me to sign up, just to see if it&#x27;s available!

Is it me or they try real hard not to disclose the connection speed?

I was tempted to ask, &quot;sure, but what&#x27;s the data cap?&quot; One issue I&#x27;ve had w&#x2F; T-Mobile in the past is they say &quot;unlimited mobile broadband&quot; and if you poke around in the fine print you find that &quot;unlimited&quot; means 2G per month or something.<p>So I wonder... what is the data cap on their &quot;no data cap&quot; plans?

Hope they can Sprint&#x27;s mid-band spectrum deployed quickly to deal with this influx of data.... at least until they have a viable millimeter wave plan.<p>This is probably more viable in suburban, maybe sub suburban&#x2F;rural areas until they can get millimeter wave going.

I was a T-Mobile subscriber twice, first in the mid aughts and then again about 6 years ago. Both times their network had a fatal flaw: I couldn&#x27;t get a good signal indoors.<p>Could any current T-Mobile subscribers tell me if this is still a thing?

How do I check availability without signing up to be pestered by a salesman?
