T-Mobile Home Gateway Geographical Location a concern
I’ve been using the T-Mobile home gateway for three weeks now. Generally, it works well; I am using it to post this message. The download speed has been anywhere from 60 to 300 mbps, so usually not...
@mikejoe7g as a few of have experienced on this forum, our listed T-Mobile local tower is miles from where we are located. For me, mine is listed in Oakland CA, but I live near Sacramento CA. I personally don’t care as the upload/download speeds are great for my $50 monthly fee (less than ½ that of Comcast.
That said, you may consider a paradigm shift to the same perspective. We can’t control how T-Mobile routes internet traffic, but we do care about performance. So what if external DNS shows that our location is 30-100 miles from our specific location. As long as the internet access is unlimited and consistent, the location component doesn’t matter to me. (My two cents). I think @bocaboy2591 may feel the same way.
I hope this helps!
