Tmobile would almost certainly blacklist the sim if you moved it.
Even without an antenna, the tmobile modem is a far superior device to the lb1120. My speeds are anywhere from 2-3 times faster with the tmobile setup than the 1120. If you lived in an area with very marginal coverage the lack of an external antenna may be an issue, but if they are offering it where you live it is unlikely to be a problem. The lb1120 doesn't do wifi in the first place so its an odd comparison. Just plug the tmobile modem into your router and cut off the wifi on the tmobile modem. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Any updates on T mobile Home internet? Guys who have it still like it? Considering swapping from No limit data. It would save me $30 a month. @mlillyballin My Nextbook tablet can't see the wifi. It sees all other wifi, from neighbors and my mofi4500. My phones, Kindle, laptop all see the Tmobile wifi just fine. I don't use the Nextbook very often at home so I haven't tried to resolve the issue. |

I switched from otr pink with a lb112 modem to the new tmobile home internet and couldn't be happier. Much cheaper and faster.
OTR - spotty and usually 5-15mbps T-mobile with a dream machine router - reliable, $50 total per month including taxes, and 25-60 mbps. I streamed baseball in 4k last night with no problems. It's also nice to have a real customer service and legit company to deal with, not a reseller. It's a game changer for me, I had been struggling with bad internet since we moved in. |

I got a sierra wireless airlink raven xe v2226e-va unit from work, they were upgrading to 4G and wished to have a better unit in place.
I beleave is good working unit. Can I use this to provide internet from a cellular carrier? Is this worth the efforts? The local internet service is 6 months away from having fiber to the house, and I don't wish to sign a long contract with satellite for a year for now. The AT&T signal is good at this location, |

Anyone still have OTR?
Mine shut off last night saying "SIM not provisioned MM2" "We want to sincerely apologize about any disruptions in your Blue Blast service you may be experiencing. We are currently working on getting this issue resolved as quickly as we can. We have an open ticket with the provider of the network and will keep our customers updated as much as possible. Please allow us 24-48 hrs to get this issue resolved." It seems OTR might be getting it's shit pushed in by att. My DSL has been down for over 2 weeks now too...yes, I pay for two connections because all of the internet options out here are shit. I would consider switching to the tmobile plan but according to the coverage maps I may not be able to get service as the tower is very far away |

AT&T canned a lot of their resellers recently it seems.
If I was in your shoes at this point I'd consider getting a tablet plan and "repairing" the IMEI of a nighthawk router to that of an IPad and riding it as long as you can. But AT&T has both monthly limits and weekly limits which they will cut your plan off for, even on their "unlimited" plans. It seems the supposed magic numbers are around 350-400gb monthly and around 100 weekly depending on what reseller you ask. No limit data is still reselling at&t plans. They are more upfront about data limits. My personal experience suggests to me that in some ways the smaller resellers may be a bit "safer" as the big dog always goes down hard and fairly suddenly, as OTR is doing. You also probably already know it but a vpn will get around forced 480p video throttling. |

Went ahead and ordered the t-mobile home wireless kit this morning since it was available in my area. After this run, even if OTR gets their shit right, I'm still giving up on them. Service has been going downhill for the last couple months, and customer support is a joke. I'm hoping the t-mobile kit works out better. |

Just an update on my Nextbook tablet not seeing my Tmobile Home Internet wifi.
The 2.4GHz wifi wasn't active so I turned it on and the tablet can now see and connect. I would have thought if my Galaxy S5 can see and connect to 5GHz the tablet should too. And I discovered when I connect my PC to the 5GHz wifi rather than the ethernet cable I get quite a bump in DL speed. the top 3 are on 5GHz wifi the bottom 3 are through the ethernet cable. I've gone back and fourth, the wifi is always faster.  Attached File |

Upon closer inspection my house is wired with cat6 cable but one outlet is cat5e the outlet on the other end is cat6 lol. I guess when I wired it 100Mbps wasn't even a possibility so I just bought whatever outlets would get here the quickest. In this case I am connecting directly to the modem so my house wiring is beside the point, just an observation. I have a cat6 patch cable coming from Amazon tomorrow to see if that's the issue. ........and I tested it again with similar results. The top 3 are ethernet cable this time, bottom 3 are wifi.  Attached FileUPDATE: Well the new cat6 patch cable didn't do shit for my speed wired, there must be another choke-point. The top 3 are through wifi, the bottom 3 are through the 3' cat6 cable.

If so I’d highly recommend a visible account. For $40/month (or $25 if you join a group) it’s pretty decent. I get usable signal from Verizon, t-mobile, and ATT at my house and have used all three, my current t-mobile account with OTR is pure trash, speeds are pathetic, though they used to be really good. I get zero sprint signal, but if you do, you could use calyx. As far as devices go, visible doesn’t really care what you do with their SIM card once it’s activated. I use mine in my lb1120 and it works like a charm, just have to manually set the APN to VSBLINTERNET as it defaults to Verizon APN. |

I don’t think it throttles at all and from what I’ve read depri is possible but most users haven’t experienced it. I’ve seen a lot of 50mbps+ speed tests, makes me jealous as hell. Unfortunately for actual rural users like me it seems like the carriers only offer “home internet” where they can guarantee good speeds, in town or right next door to their towers.

Yepp, I'm in the same boat, paying a ton for a couple T-Mobile hotspot plans. I have to use a couple external antennas to get workable speeds (still not great). T-Mobile won't do the home internet plan where I live presumably b/c the signal is so bad. Sucks, 'cause I'd get the same performance I have now at a fraction of the cost I'm currently paying.

I just lost my internet service which was a line of sight ISP. I replaced it with a unlimited plan through ATT that uses a nighthawk hot spot. I an currently getting 2 bars and 5 to 8 megs down and 2 to 3 megs up. (which is better than my line of sight service) If I get a external antenna/signal booster how much improvement could I see. What brand of signal booster should I look at? I am about 8 miles from the nearest cell phone tower.

Options range from just a few bucks for 3db Omni antenna to a couple hundred for dual yagis or parabolics plus a mast, cable, etc. Highest gain and narrowest beamwidth are parabolic, then yagi, then panel antennae, then omnidirectional. For your distance and use I’d recommend yagis. |

Thanks for dragging this thread back up.
I had just gotten off the phone with Centurylink prior to seeing this. I have been with them 10+ years as they are the only option available in my area. The internet is 3MB DSL but lately it's been 5.5-6MB. The problem is my newest bill creeped up to 85.99. Previous was 74.99. I called and asked for a long time subscriber discount. Heck,anything if available. A big fat fucking "Nope, nothing available" for you. When I get home in the middle of November I'm going to try the T-Mobile wireless plan. When I input 999-999-9999 and my address it shows available. I just don't want to get my hopes up to high....

For your distance and use I’d recommend yagis. This is definitely the way to go. I'm about 6.5 miles from my tower on Cricket (AT&T prepaid), running dual 10dB yagis (this allows MIMO, which a booster will not) on my LB1120. I'm getting 20 Mbps+ with this setup connected directly to the modem, and just did a speedtest and it's at 16 Mbps via wifi. Of couse the speeds depend on how much loading the cell site has, but a Monday morning isn't too heavy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: at what point will the tmobile home internet plan throttle or deprioritize you? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Wish I was eligible for any of the damn home internet plans, every single company tells me I’m not eligible. Feedback on the tmobile home plan has been hugely positive everywhere I’ve seen. The one negative is no external antennae, and for me I need to use one with any carrier. at what point will the tmobile home internet plan throttle or deprioritize you? Home internet is supposedly deprioritized from the beginning, but none of us have noticed. No throttling or data caps.  Attached FileThats WITH a VPN running... |

I walked a property I'm planning to buy and got these speeds at different locations. I can put an antenna for a booster anywhere. How much am I going to hate it? I currently have DSL with 35 down, 3.5 up and 32 ms latency. Any guesses what I might see with a 1000 dollar commercial cell booster?  Attached File |

Just curious how any of you doing the T-mobile home have handled accessing things like remote desktop and cameras with their IPv6 natting.
I had to return mine because tech support could not figure out how to give me an IPv4 accessible address. The modem gives the wan an IPv4 address (do a whatismyip), but the modem actually gets an IPv6 address, so you can't access things like remote desktop machines. The tech did say they would be coming out with more options, but could not give a general date, so I sent mine back. Useless to me without being able to access my RD PC's and cameras. |

A VPN with a dedicated IP and port forwarding would have easily solved your problem. |

Feedback on the tmobile home plan has been hugely positive everywhere I’ve seen. The one negative is no external antennae, and for me I need to use one with any carrier. at what point will the tmobile home internet plan throttle or deprioritize you? I called to sign up and that was one of the questions I asked, multiple times. The representative said there were no data caps, and I asked if there was throttling. The reply was there were absolutely no data caps at all, so I asked again, this time using Verizon jetpacks as an example. Verizon advertises they have no data cap, but will throttle you after you use a certain amount of data. Again I got the "no data caps" response. After asking the throttling question for the 3rd or 4th time, I finally got an answer that there isn't a throttle at all. So I have a T-Mobile modem on the way, it should be here Tuesday and I will quickly know if it's throttled. I can run some tests which could upload/download 100G in under a day. I should hit any throttling in the first day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well... apparently my nighthawk 1100 decided to quit working. As in, it won't power on. Battery in, battery out, unplugged for a while. Etc. It just won't come on. What is the current 'best of' hotspot hardware for AT&T based service? I haven't been keeping up. Anyone? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone? Probably going to be a mofi4500 for an out of the box solution, but I gather that building one isn't complicated. I found the folks at ltefix.com very helpful and they also have a Facebook group that is very knowledgeable, but tmobile offered service here shortly before I needed to purchase from them. |
