gandb Report post Posted March 22 I'm thinking of switching my TechConnect+ AT&T hotspot to their new T-Mobile plan. I was wondering if anyone has gone to the T-Mobile plan and how do you like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gandb Report post Posted March 23 I'm thinking of switching because AT&T is only 4g LTE. The T-Mobile plan is 4g LTE and 5g. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do realize 5G is only actually available in cities and population centers, due to antenna requirements. Quote: "Low-band 5G is a blanket layer for nationwide coverage, and is slightly faster than 4G LTE. Mid-band 5G tends to be available in major metro areas, and its data speeds can be up to 6x faster than 4G. High-band 5G can be 10x faster than 4G LTE. To receive this service, a consumer needs to be very close to a tower. We believe the best 5G map is one that shows where users are actually receiving 100Mbps consistently." source: https://broadbandnow.com/national-5g-coverage-map Edited March 24 by rayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandb Report post Posted March 24 (edited) I know all that. Where I stay has T-Mobile 5g towers. I used to have Sprint and always hit 5g. Besides that on AT&T I've only been getting downloads of 11 to 15, once I hit 19. Edited March 24 by gandb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted March 24 (edited) Which level of 5G is available there? It if's low-band, why spend the money to switch?? 4G is going to be here for decades yet. The Major carriers say they will keep 4G until 5G (and its 3 levels) is available nationwide. Then again, It's your money to spend as you wish.
