    Do you have Tmobile already? If not, you can get a free hotspot from them

    I have straighttalk which is unlimited for like 55 bucks. I can't remember what the real service is right now. i went off ST att because i couldn't get 5g.

    with 30 days or 30gb of internet service, whichever comes first, so you can test the speeds that you'd get. I do have Tmo home internet in two different places. When I tried it at my house, I got around 150mbit down. Up in the northern towns that I took the hotspots up to, I get about 75mbit down.

    By the way, you don't get a real IP and you can't forward ports into your network. Also, connections like SSH will die/lock up/time out unless there is constant data going through them. I'm assuming this is a mechanism put into place to keep their mobile lines clear of dead connections.

    yeah that's what i was expecting. that sucks.
    they also have this gateway device https://www.t-mobile.com/home-internet/gateway?INTNAV=tNav%3AHowItWorks%3AWiFiGatewayDevice

    maybe i'll try them out when i have time. been working a lot.

    okay got it and hated it.

    i couldn't get 5g in my area. they said i should be able to but my area's 'box' was just doing 4g for a reason they don't know.

    i tried to return it but i was on the phone for over an hour and most of the people couldn't find me in the system. finally i was able to get a pin and then create an account and then they could see me.

    my device is like a phone and i go into the admin center and i can read the sms txts.
