Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating

I’m actually shocked at how small an amount of people have t-mobiles. It works fantastic and never drops in my area, which is a whole lot better than the cable net I had. My phones are t-mo so the internet (its a gateway they give you, so modem/wifi in one) is $30 a month with no taxes or bs. Straight $30. I think it’s $50 if you aren’t a t-mo cell customer.

i think sometimes… in certain outskirt or rural areas there may be cases when a slow and steady provider (verizon/visible) may be considered a safer option for some.

Safer? It’s like half the monthly price, has a ping/latency of around 50, and speeds over 250 mbps with almost no downtime. It’s just been a good option.

in rural areas? in all rural areas??
some people have suggested that verizon has more coverage in rural areas but less speed overall.
there are a few exceptions for both providers.

I’m on t mobile in a small city. One big enough that I had charter cable internet before I switched to 5g on t mo.
