Is T-Mobile internet fast enough for streaming?

Is T-Mobile Home internet really unlimited?

I've been a T-Mobile customer for about five years now and in that time I have experienced two of their unlimited internet plans.

While I understand that all of these plans are a bit of marketing ploy, the one that really bothered me was the plan that allows me to use any wireless device.

T-Mobile advertises this as being unlimited internet, but it's actually quite a bit different. Since the service is based on the technology that connects your wireless device to the Internet (WAP), any use of the internet goes through a data router where the data is capped by the provider. You pay for the amount of data your device uses per month, not the total amount you use every month.

If I connect to the internet from my cell phone, iPad, or other device with data connectivity, I will use some of my data allotment in any given month. If I connect to the internet through my laptop, I will use less data since I'm not able to use a web browser.

To my knowledge, my T-Mobile internet plan is unlimited. But since the technology T-Mobile uses for the connection is not truly unlimited, how can you call it unlimited? When does unlimited ever equate to unlimited? What is your plan, and what is the term you use to describe T-Mobile? I have a 1 year contract with T-Mobile, and I like that I get the cheapest data packages offered in the market. The best part is that since it is based on data, I know exactly how much data I am using with any activity (web browsing, email, etc.99/mo for 5GB of data. That means my data usage averages out to 5 GBs of data a month. I haven't had to increase my data plan yet, even when I am on vacation and need it.

When I go online at my company's computers, I do use it all, but my laptop doesn't send anything back, and so I haven't hit my data cap.

Does T-Mobile Home internet run off cell towers?

Just wondering if T-Mobile Home internet would run off of cell towers or just the standard land line?

Is this a standard with them? Or would you have to install cable? And are there towers nearby? I have Sprint internet in my car but would prefer to have my own internet because they don't give the best speeds. Any help would be great! Thank you! Re: T-Mobile Home internet runs off cell towers? It can be. My home phone service was on T-Mobile, so I was given a phone number and could access the Internet with T-Mobile internet. Then, when I decided to upgrade to a different phone service, I had to get a new phone number and use my old phone number with my new service.

So it can be confusing, but it's not a rule. Originally Posted by mikeymike. If you are using a normal home internet package (no phone included) then the service is provided by the cable company. Thanks for your input! I'm wondering if the service from Sprint would be any better than T-Mobile? The reason why I like T-Mobile is the fact that I would only have to pay for the service. So I'm wondering if it would better than Sprint. I've always heard the Sprint's are better than T-Mobile. I really like the idea of having my own internet, I'm thinking about installing cable at some point. I guess I'll have to ask someone at the T-Mobile store about it. Oh and I heard the T-Mobile service is supposed to be good for streaming Netflix and Hulu Plus.

Is T-Mobile internet fast enough for streaming?

Streaming video content, such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and the likes, is an online experience that is quickly becoming the new default way to watch television.

It's no surprise that Netflix, Hulu and YouTube are the most-used streaming content platforms on T-Mobile. And we're happy to report that T-Mobile is now the only major national wireless carrier offering all of these services in HD.

But do you know what kind of service you're getting? Is it enough for an HD streaming experience? Let's take a look at what T-Mobile is giving you. As someone who recently watched Stranger Things on Netflix in 4K quality, I have to say that it looks pretty damn good. Now, I don't mean to make comparisons here. The streaming service I was using wasn't the best example of 4K or even HD streaming. It was just a really great visual experience, and not just because of the streaming service itself, but also because of the display.

I couldn't help but notice that the 4K quality of Netflix in general looked better than my current high definition stream on AT&T. As someone who primarily watches streaming videos, I've learned to appreciate how important it is to find a streaming experience that meets my needs. If the video isn't great, it's going to be hard to enjoy the experience.

With T-Mobile's service, there are very few things I can notice that are even remotely lacking. That being said, even at the best quality, there are a few areas that could use some work.

So, I did some tests, in both 4K and HD. The results surprised me.

First, let's look at T-Mobile's streaming speed. For the purposes of this test, I used Speedtest.net to measure the connection speeds on our network. The result I received was in line with what most would expect 30 Mbps.

While T-Mobile's speeds might look great in comparison to the streaming providers like Netflix and YouTube, they aren't as fast as we need for an HD streaming experience. That's not good. Even at 4K, T-Mobile is struggling to reach the ideal speed needed for an HD streaming experience.
