Cool thanks. I know cable internet slows down during high use times and wondered if mobile does the same. Good to hear it doesn't seem to

Exactly. It's like running a hotspot from your phone. Except instead of your phone it's this gateway thing.

We just visited Baltimore from the UK and went to the Fells Ekiben and it was SO SO GOOD, so I'm buying a house there and I'm going to get fat on Ekiben

Nice. Thanks!

No, haven't noticed anything like that. Just remember to place your gateway some where high up (preferably on the top floor of your house.) Don't be complaining about connection issues with your gateway on the floor where your old router/modem used to be. It's an antenna treat it like one.

By of these smoke shops

Yep, I don’t have roommates (apart from my dog) and video calls and streaming aren’t an issue for me

Very interesting and makes sense. It's basically like a cell phone with a better antenna as I understand it, right?

Dropouts haven't been an issue for me. I've had it for an about a year and have only had maybe 2 "dropouts." Restarted the gateway and was up and running.

As long as you understand that a TMobile gate way is basically just an antenna which means placing it as high as you can (preferably top floor) with something close to Line of Sight to a tower you're not going to have an issue. If you place your gateway in the basement on the floor where your old router used to be you're gonna have issues and it's going to be your fault not Tmobile's.

Some decent numbers in those contests

Interesting, thanks! I'm in Harwood right down from Waverly so we probably would connect to the same tower? 42 down is not great but would probably be fine for streaming and zoom calls, right? And thanks for the recommendation for the t-mobile sub! And the tip about getting a fan!

I pay $80 a month for 800mb down with no TV and no phone.

I think I had to lock into 2 or 3 years to get that rate.

I don't love Comcast, but their reliability has been great for me personally. That being said, I've got friends that live just a few blocks away who have a very different experience with their service.

Hi, I’m in Waverly and have had T-Mobile internet for about 6 months. I had a spell in late September/early October where my internet was dropping multiple times a day, which was super frustrating. But since then it’s been solid apart from occasional drop outs in the evening while I’m watching tv, which can usually be fixed by restarting the gateway. I also just did a speed test and got 109 up and 42 down, which is maybe not amazing but works for me and my needs and I’m delighted to not have to call my provider every year to beg for a lower rate. I’ve also found the T Mobile home internet sub to be super helpful. Also get a little fan to keep your gateway cool. I got one for like $15 at microcenter

>To reach muskrat county, you head east on Route 50 to Cambridge, then turn southwest, passing the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park and winding through the marshes of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. It’s here, beneath the scrubby pines and amid tall, dun-colored grasses that muskrats, a species native to wetlands throughout the continental United States, make their homes. The marshlands are full of what locals describe as “boot-sucking mud” and act as a natural filter, cleaning the water before it reaches the nearby Chesapeake Bay.

Haha no, not my fiance, but I did see that thread on the sub after I posted mine

Check pm’s

Doing that does work for people. The rep you get connected to has a directive to try their best to keep you as a customer and will offer you discounts. Some people call it “a ritual” every year, but I honestly have had zero complaints with speeds/connectivity/etc with them over the combined 8 years I’ve dealt with them in Baltimore (and I’ve lived northeast, east, and southwest in the city).

And is /u/jdtoast your fiancé? They just posted a very similar post on here!

Call and say the words “I would like to cancel.” You’ll then get on the line with someone whose directive is to try their best to keep you as a customer.

If you’re on the SoBo peninsula then you might be able to get Verizon FIOS. I don’t believe they have it west of 395 though, so your other option is mobile Internet from Verizon or T-Mobile. FWIW, I’m in Pigtown and my phone’s 5G signal rarely goes out - my speeds are currently 40 down / 4 up. Idk if that translates to the signal home mobile Internet would receive from them though.

I’d call Comcast and negotiate, and compare that to whatever the others are offering.

Also wondered if your speeds slow down at certain times. Do they?

there's a headshop at the corner of Preston & Charles - Golden Cave, across from starbucks, caddy-corner to uni-mini. basement/first floor spot. usually open around noon, but YRMV. they sell cones both Raw/hemp, and generic paper styles. i think you get a deal when you buy 3 packs

Someone else mentioned connection dropping issues. Do you have issues with it dropping out? Are you on an unlimited plan?

[deleted]

Nice. Thanks, that's helpful. I signed up for T-Mobile but I have to get the capped plan as the unlimited is not available at my location yet

Dang yeah thanks that's actually really useful info. Yeah I'm signing up with T-Mobile and I'll see how it goes. I only work from home a couple times a month and stream shows/movies a few times a week. I do have security cameras that need internet to connect and that would be my issue if the internet drops a lot.
