My 5G HI gets slow, then speeds up after reset
I am new to the 5G Home Internet package from TMobile. Initially, the system was fine, speed was acceptable no problems with YouTube and Roku streaming. Lately, within the last couple weeks, during the early evening hours, say 5-7 PM, the system starts slowing down. Sometimes it gets so bad that I can not get on the Internet at all. And here is the kicker: All I have to do to get it to go back to normal is just reset the router. Today is a good example: around 2:50 PM, I was getting 540Mbps x 14.50Mbps. Then at 5:01 PM I was down to 27.85 x 0.21. I do a reset, and I jump back to 300 x 18.60. I spoke with Level 1 CSR and finally was speaking to who ever is in Manilla and was advised to place the router as close to the window as possible. I even had the router on the windows sill, but the morning son shines thru so I moved. I found a sweet spot just below the window and thought I had resolved the issue. But and that's when it went down to 27.85 x 0.21, and resolved it by the reset. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Is it my router? Ask for a replacement? Go back to AT&T? Thanks.
New Gateway - No Internet on Phone
I upgraded to a Galaxy S25+. Came home and connected to my Gateway I'd had since 2023. During my upgrade, store people said I could upgrade my Gateway for free, and that'd even set it up so that it was the same name and password. Went in a week later and traded Gateways. Came home and the Gateway connects to all my devices, except the phone. It actually does connect, but it's Connected Without Internet. I've tried resetting Wifi settings, cleared cache, and pretty much all the routine stuff I could think of. Still nothing. Phone's Wifi works as I was able to connect to old Gateway as well as other Wifi. Just this new Gateway it refuses to work with.
Anyone else stuck paying for sunsetted SyncUp Tracker devices that don't work?
Apparently, T-Mobile sunsetted all first generation SyncUp Tracker devices without providing notifications to T-Mobile customers. The devices just quit working one day because they were no longer compatible with T-Mobile's T-Life application and the T-Mobile network. The old devices cannot be successfully onboarded. According to various T-Mobile technical support representatives I spoke with, any customer having a SyncUp Tracker first generation device with an active line of service is eligible to receive a SyncUp Tracker 2 device at no charge. The replacement process has been gruelingly frustrating. I have made multiple trips to various T-Mobile stores and have left empty-handed after assurances from T-Mobile store associates that the process would be straight forward. Lots of broken promises by T-Mobile at the store level and by T-Mobile phone support agents. I filed a warranty claim on a non-working first generation SyncUp Tracker device only to be sent another, non-functioning first generation device as a replacement. This has occurred twice in one week. Both obsolete first generation devices were returned to T-Mobile. I am about to attempt the warranty exchange process for a third time. I have been on hold for over 51 minutes waiting for a T-Mobile telephone support agent to answer. Long hold times have become another enduring T-Mobile standard operating procedure for many months.
How do I get the Blackberry Passport to run 4G VoLTE?
Unfortunately, 2G and 3G are going away from the United States for no good reason. But I do not wish for Blackberry Phones to become obsolete. I hear you can make old Blackberry Phones run the Android OS. Will this make the Blackberry Passport be able to text and make calls in 2025+?
Internet
Anyone else having coverage issues with internet? I was getting a "speed test" of about 10 for downloads. It now below 4. I complained to the BBB about not getting a rebate when I first got their internet. They gave me the rebate but it seems they retaliated with slower internet. I've changed equipment and moved the gateway but still slow. Looked at coverage map and the very edge is a coup.e of streets over. I'm told it could be 3 YEARS before they got better coverage in my area. Other internet services are too expensive or aren't in my area yet. T-Mobile is no help. They arent even trying to keep my business.T-Mobile trade-in issues
I traded in my iPhone 11 and XR and sent them to t-mobile one month ago but never received the credit for the iPhone 11. I have called the customer services several times and these representatives promised me the issue would be resolved in a few days but it never did. They just give people empty promises so that you can get off the phone. Plus was told by the salesman the trade-in value was $150 each but only received $85 for XR.
