    So if I have this right the trouble here is it more likely the Moxie hotspot which has terrible reviews. I can buy an unlocked MI2000 4G/5G and expect better 4G performance and also add an antenna to it. Tech Connect in some manor will provide me with a compatible sim and I can move on too somewhat close to the performance I had before. Of course assuming ATT doesn't throttle much. In addition, FMCA is going to offer a more robust system in the future. Is that true?

     

    With the existing AT&T plan it doesn't make a difference which device you use you will only get 12mbps and lucky to get 2mbps for streaming. I returned my Moxee and nano sim for my M2000 and opted for the Calyx Substainer plan, so far it is very good at my sticks and bricks. Ive seen speeds up to 300mbps and 58mbps from Fast.com for streaming.

    It turns out the M2000 is *not* carrier locked, according to TechConnect support. My Visible SIM doesn't work (shows as "invalid SIM"), but that must be something specific to Visible. I have an AT&T nano SIM on the way so I can give that a shot when it arrives.

    I have a Nano sim on the way also, I hope the M2000 works out better than the Moxee hotspot that I can only get 12MB max down and up with 4 bars. I have seen others saying that is the max they can get also and think we are being throttled by AT&T with this plan.

      Well the Moxie only has a cat 4 modem, small memory, slow CPU, not as many connections allowed, I could go on.  That is the slowest one possible.  The M2000 supports 4x4 and 2x2 MIMO and is significantly faster.  It automatically switches to a Cat 22 LTE modem if no 5g is found.  Sure it may not support the ATT 5g bands however it will be faster than the Moxie in the same location since it supports more frequency bands.  I have the Verizon version (M2100) so I will see if I can 5g when my device arrives.  I will also be trying it in my WiFiRangers Cat 12 modem.

    As said above and I had just purchased the M2000 on ebay 2 weeks before this change to AT&T. It has to be better than this cheap Moxee piece of ____.

    From what I have been told, you will be able to use the M2000 but you will need a different SIM. In two weeks you will be able to get the proper sim from TechConnect, so you can use the M2000

     

    I received my Moxie yesterday afternoon. The T mobile had the same download speeds but I could never stream Paramount + or other sources without constant buffering. And forget it if I wanted to use the computer at night, .25 signal on the T mobile.

    With the ATT I can stream all day and last night with zero buffering, we will see how it goes

    Who told you this? If that is true I  will stay with Techconnect and give AT&T a shot. We have been very happy with T-Mobile service where we have gone and hope we get the same from AT&T.


  5. I guess I am not on their email list, I never got the April 1st email nor did I get this one. I was in contact with Techconnect just a short while ago and I was told I could put the T Mobile Sim into a M2000 so I went out and bought the M2000 now I am out of luck with it and no email to tell me sorry for the bad info. Maybe it is time to switch to another vendor.

    And I bet. you send email and responds in less then NEVER and you call in and talk to someone without getting voicemail.  I bet you even get call back faster than NEVER.  LOL.  I guess all the people on here that haven't been able to get tech to respond it's there fault for not waiting longer than NEVER. LOL

    I sent a message late afternoon one day and got a call back the next morning.  Never had any problems getting in touch with Techconnect 


  7. Did you see this?

    Hi All, 

    Found this just now on FMCA Facebook page!!!! Good resource btw

    "We have been receiving a lot of emails and calls about members that are having their Tech Connect+ Sprint hot spot device replaced with a new T-Mobile device, and that their Sprint device is now turned off.

    If you have received the new T-Mobile hotspot already make sure you are using this device instead of the Sprint hotspot. 

    If you have not received the new T-Mobile device yet and your Sprint device has been deactivated please contact us with an email to techconnect@fmca.com and include your member number, and the PTN number of your Sprint device and tell us that it has been deactivated.

    The PTN can be found either by using the touch screen on the device or if you pop off the back cover and remove the battery there will be a white sticker that contains it.

    We will then quickly put in a request to T-Mobile to reactivate your Sprint device."


  8. I installed the SoftStartRV on my Penguin II 15k w/ heat pump. I called SoftStartRV and made an appointment and they walked me through the installation, then sent them pictures of what I did they called me back said all was okay and stayed on the phone with me while I tested it. Great customer service!

    My INSEEGO m2000 will connect to Sprints 5G where I am at on the FMCA plan. But the 5G is about the same if not slower than the 4G where I am. If I take my mifi about 2 miles down the road it will get a stronger 5G signal and will go Much faster. I know the plan says 4G but not sure why I can use the Sprints 5G..

    Sprint does not have 5G you are on a T-Mobile tower if you see 5G on your device. I have a T-Mobile cell phone and I have 5G shut off to get faster speeds on 4G in my area. I also have the FMCA Sprint plan with the MiFi8000 4G hotspot and very happy with it.
