5G Home Internet vs. phone data speeds
So I’m a Magenta Max customer and mostly happy with my service. We live in a town where the 5G can be very strong depending on time of day/which part of town you’re in. So I started considering ...
Mostly… T-Mobile has deprioritized Home Internet over cell.
I can get as good, if not faster on my Home Internet .. just not as often,
S21 ≈ 150-200Mbps indoors - 5G disabled (becomes worse with 5G enabled, as it is weak from +1 mile away), LTE ≈ 1000’ away. During the day, ≈ 150Mbps. Night time ~200Mbps.
Home Internet ≈ 50-200Mbps, typically 50-150Mbps, but some times as low are 10-30Mbps. During the day ≈ 75Mbps. Night time ~=150 upwards to 200Mbps or better.
Upload is typically 30Mbps on both.
I should notice better performance once T-Mobile upgrades the local tower.
