Re: T-Mobile Home Internet data rates
Thanks for your response. Using Zachary Wander’s excellent app (which reflects the stats taken directly from the Gateway), I find these stats have small variance: Bands B2 (LTE), n41 (5G) RSRP: -85 to -87 both bands RSRQ: -11 for both bands SINR: 3to 10 (LTE), 1-9(5G) I suspect the critical stat is SINR. I sure would prefer a value that is consistently larger. My signal does pass thru a screen on my window. This is easily removable, although I saw little improvement from removing it. Perhaps the screen has only a small impact on these mid-bands? My key question: would an external antenna not far from the current inside gateway provide a significant improvement. I found that opening the window had only a small impact.8Views0likes0CommentsT-Mobile Home Internet data rates
I have been testing T-Mobile Home Internet for a few weeks. I live perhaps 300 yards from PGBT and am within ½mile of the cell tower. Using the internal antenna of myArcadyne TMO-G4AR inside a 2nd-story window, I get typical speed_tests of between 50Mb to 200Mb. But if I turn off WiFi on my Samsung G23U mobile and run speed test inside that same window, I see speeds of 600Mb to 750Mb. Why the difference?Solved126Views0likes3Comments
