Question so what company’s do
Offer fiber ? And is really that good for gaming compared to coax cable ?
Spectrum is really bad never get it we get around 21mbps
even though we paid for almost a gig
@@SpeakermanGaming.Give a call over to spectrum because if your router has not been updated every 2 to 3 years your internet will drop. There is no extra cost to change the router. I’m looking at changing though because we pay out $236.69 a month for our internet, cable and mobile plans for two 2️⃣phones and a cellular watch.
The T-Mobile tower is about 200 yards from my house for Home Internet. I get around 350mbps download on average. Best money ever spent so far for internet.
Where u live
Gizmo
I think we gona switch too V BECAUSE T I can't get no service my 5g wifi is Hella slow 😢
Ever a little bit helps thank you
I got max 30 mbps in Austin
I've had all three. I recently got AT&T fiber (300) for $55/month. There is no contract, no other charges and it is consistently fast and reliable. No regrets.
Had it after a couple months they throttle this shit out of your internet tried telling me it was my computers location but i kept that and the router in the same location from the first to the last day having at&t but after like 6-9 months I went from 300 mbps to 5 if I was lucky calling threataning to change isps fixed it for a week
Just got that today, getting it installed this weekend, hopefully all works out and is reliable 👍🏽
Taxes?
Just dropped from a home package (TV, Phone, Internet) to internet only. Bill was $175 now $75.
After watching this, I'm shopping for something lower. Thank you!
I tryed T-mobile internet for 3 months, 2 kids that game , and I stream TV, so the caps of the local big internet providers were killing me. It only averaged 24mbps most of the time, which was surprisingly enough for it to keep up, but it would drop down to less than 5mbps several times a week, and nothing would work well. Sometimes, a reset would fix it. If I had a window that faced the tower, it might have worked, but as soon as AT&T came through with their fiber and no cap for only $20 more a month, I jumped on it!
Cell phone network doesn't give consistent download speeds no matter what that's why I stayed with fiber
wow that is incredible value for fiber. Enjoy this golden period.
omg im literally in the same situation. I have Tmobile rn but its the worst internet ive had in my life. Its at&t good?
@@kevincampos2587 AT&T fiber has been great. No cap and it’s been problem free since I switched over to it 8 months ago!
T-Mobile has really bad coverage in my area plus I had a lot of problems with them so I will never do business with them again.
I canceled my AT&T home internet over a month ago. Returned all equipments Have receipts from UPS. They are trying to charge me over $600 for early termination. When I was with them for 19 years. Go with anyone other than AT&T.
What if there was a type of Internet that never loses speed?
@@LuisUrbieta Ask Mommy to get that for you.
@@Bob-bb3urwhat a stupid ass reply lmao
Wow thanks I will not go with them ever thts horrible after 19 yrs there scandals
AT&T is 💩 😡 they always trying to charge you for anything
I'm in the SF Bay area and switched to Verizon home internet 5G about 10 months ago. Speeds have been consistently above 300 down and around 20 up. Very pleased with the service and, since I'm a Verizon wireless customer, only $25 per month. Much better than my former AT&T DSL and a much lower cost and reliability.
How did you find out where the t mobile tower was.
We have been Google Fiber customers for a couple of years and are extreme;y satisfied with it. The monthly cost is $72 and includes one Google Wi-Fi transmitter. Due to the configuration of our home, we added a second transmitter for about $50 one-time purchase. Download and upload speeds are in the 900 Mbps range, and Google offers billing credits if there are outages. Google Fiber has been very dependable and outages are few. The additional benefit was that we were able to pull down a couple of decades' worth of cable wiring from the exterior of our home!
I just switched to Tmobile Gateway and it works most of the time, but lately I have had to do frequent reboots. I'm keeping track of them to see if I might need a new Gateway. It'as amazing that a Gateway on the 2nd floor can reach all the way to my Roku in the basement.
I switched over a few months ago to Verizon. I do not get 5G because its not in my area. So far we have not had major issues with slowing. If we have had some they usually only last a couple of minutes. Thanks for the informative videos!
I appreciate the time you spent to inform your viewers. I have had Xfinity for about 5 years now and just this year my TV/Internet bill has gone up 3 times and it is only Sept. When I call Xfinity, I can never understand the person on the other end (no offense) and I don't want to offend them because they are just doing their job (bring customer service back to the US). I have to constantly threaten to leave in order for them to drop my price a ridiculous $20. HELP!!!!
Xfinity is so bad these days
I have xfinity and after and during the storm still no internet and no ata also going through verizon for cell service and only getting 2 bars its really bad right now makes me feel like both companies may not be the best option due to xfinity raising the internet price for unlimited usually also for verizon its wild that the cell service is still down right now you'd think having 5g would help but no.. Also live right next to a tower.. I heard Mint is amazing for cell service due to flexabilty also have a friend who has had service this hole time during the icestorm. Sorry for the long rant but maybe it'll give you some perspective, If anyone knows a great unlimited internet option for Pc Gaming let me know!:)
LOL, You worry about offending them when you are paying them to offend you. Stop being silly. It is offensive to give me customer service when I can't understand the person.
I am lucky to get a live agent with Xfinity. It's like pulling teeth. I give them a poor grade for customer service. Also like you mentioned.. price keeps going up. I am done with Comcast Xfinity
I pay $39.99 per month for Verizon FIOS lowest tier, which is 200 up and down. I switched from Cox when they refused to meet the price for a reasonable speed, and haven't looked back.
Switched to T mobile 6 months ago. We are close to the 5g tower. Get about 300mbps. Very happy with the service.
I’m grandfathered in with AT&T fiber 1 gig for $70 mo including free HBOMAX. So as long as I keep my Att Uverse internet I won’t lose my HBO max. I find that my fiber internet is much more reliable especially with having multiple people in my home working from home and also being a streaming home with DIRECTV stream and other streaming services.
Second of your videos that I watch. Thank you for helping me make an educated decision!
I LOVE MY T- MOBILE HOME INTERNET ITS ONLY MYSELF IN HOUSEHOLD I HAVE ONLY A COUPLE DEVICES FOR WHAT I USE IT FOR ITS PERFECT FOR ME
Some providers are getting sneaky with the router rental fees. Like they'll claim it's included with the cost and doesn't cost you anything extra, but it actually does increase the bill.
which providers doing that? not tryna have my $ taken dat way
I switched from T-Mo to AT&T fiberoptics. No fee install, better signal speeds, both up and down. The 300/300 plan at $55 is working well for me. It's just $5 bucks more than T-mobile and I can always pump it up to 500mb or $1 GB if I ever needed to in a flick of a switch. We are truly entering the zone where data speeds will no longer be an issue.
And disk space used to be the final frontier
I added a TP-link wifi6 router to add to at&t. Works wonders.
That's the same with FiOS by Verizon but there is 49.99 with auto pay
Like the idea of fiber but AT&T isn't guaranteeing any long term prices and will be just like the cable companies and start raising the rates after a year.
No contract, so no problem there. I could always switch to another fiber optic company and since AT&T installed the line for free, switching would be seamless. Also, keep in mind that there are more and more options coming daily so the thought of a price hike is not very likely. If anything, they may go down. Since I work from home, I actually upgraded to the 1GB speed at $80 per month. It's overkill for what I do, but the blazing speeds are so enjoyable.
Just switched over To att fiber vs spectrum. Night & day. Fiber is a dedicated line vs spectrum your sharing signal with everyone around u. Fiber giving true speed # for what u pay for.
Hello Michael Saves. I truly liked this video. Gave me lots of info i wanted to learn about. Thanks for all your help.
I have A T & T Internet Air (5G service. We got rid of Dish and have been using TH-cam TV since the end of last month. Have had no complaints with my speed. I also look forward not to have to clean the dish off during snow storms. We used to have DSL for internet but this is so much faster. I also have brother that switched to the Internet Air over cable service. He has had no regrets. He had also had You tube TV for years now.
Thank you for all the information, I really appreciate it
Very happy with T-Mobile 5g internet and Directv streaming. Switched from Uverse and saving little over $100 monthly. Uverse was a better user interface but certainly not worth $100 more.
I never had problems with ATT U-Verse & I had that for 10 years. Ran great & ran HD vids with no probs. Unfortunately, I gave it up to try their 5G Air Hub for a cheap price/year and it worked great for a coupled weeks, but now I keep losing internet connection. One night, I had to re-boot 6 or 7 times until I did a hard reset. Even moved the Hub to another room. Mind, I only live in a 860 sq ft home! And only me living here. Getting real pissed & ready to ask for my U-Verse back!
I'm using T-Mobile 5G home internet, and my experience is far better than when I had Spectrum. My average download speed is 400+ mbs download, but my upload speed averages almost 30 mbs (let me point out that T-Mobile's average download and upload speed is 2x faster than Spectrum's at half the price). I do have the luxury of having a T-Mobile tower about 2 miles from me. And I installed roof mounted antennas. Without the antennas on the roof, the performance I would get is comparable to Spectrum. I worked from home and I would get unexpected connection interruption with Spectrum. I've never experience any interruption with T-Mobile. I've tested T-Mobiles bandwidth by simultaneously streaming 4K contents on 4 4K tvs with little to no buffering. I'm truly impressed with T-Mobile. I would have never leave Spectrum if it delivered on its promise. Spectrum made me become a "Cord Cutter". I'm sure fiber internet has some kick ass speed, but I'm satisfied with what I'm getting with T-Mobile and the price. I did have 3 existing lines with T-Mobile before I switch to their internet, so my monthly cost comes out to $40. That's more that half of what I was paying for Spectrum.
In our semi-rural area, none of the cellular services are worth a bleep. ATT/TMOBILE/VERIZON all claim we are in high coverage (5g ultra or whatever they call it), but when you bring the device into the area, we hardly have a signal at all, and the download speeds are in the kilobytes. The cable is Charter Spectrum and while they'll sell you 500Mbps or 1Gbps, the service rarely does better than about 50 to 80Mbps when it is up. AT&T dsl service is limited to 21Mbps but we've never seen that- more like 5 or 6Mbps. They've said we'd receive fiber since it was launched; but still no signs. Oh, and we're in the b-contour for antenna TV, so you need a 40+ft tall antenna, which isn't allowed in the area.
Very informative and helpful, thank you!
I am in trial period of T Mobile Home Internet. Download speeds average 50-60mbps because of my location. However this speed works well enough for me or my PC and various TV streaming needs. I am wireless customer so I will be paying $30/month while my Spectrum is $60/month. Spectrum also has had issues with email clients I have tried since I do not like Spectrums webmail that much. I will likely be returning my Spectrum modem to Spectrum store tomorrow. Thanks for your videos Michael.
The information you provided in the video was extremely helpful. I have spectrum Internet only I pay $64.99 monthly it was 54.00 until they added a price increase.
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
I have T-Mobile home internet and am satisfied with the service. 48.5 Mbps download. I have my TV and other device connected without any connection problems . Everything works just fine . Thank you for sharing those updates.
I live in Bayarea Cali & have HOME comcast cable internet for almost a decade now, REALLY Solid reliable service internet thats for sure NO doubt & LOVIN IT & i have my own Motorola modem/router .. always get a deal once a year every year for my 1 gig speed, st8 up one price every month for 12 months , really happy with it no issues whatsoever 👍👌
Michael, thanks for your very informative videos. Unfortunately for us, T-Mobile and Verizon 5G are not available in our area yet. My brother in LA area has had T-Mobile 5g home for a couple of years and loves it. I have been signed up on both T-Mobile's and Verizon's 5g home waiting lists for over a year. Any suggestions on finding out more concrete info on their roll outs? In the meantime, AT&T has been pushing their "Internet Air" 5g network in some areas where it would appear that they have no plan to roll out fiber, even though fiber is available about a half a mile away (suburban Sacramento). So far, the reviews that I have found for Internet Air are mostly negative. Do you plan to test this service soon? Thanks again
Excellent information! Thanks for the links. Neither Verizon nor T-Mobile is available in my area.
It's coming up on a year with Tmo 5g home internet. I test every so often at all times of the day. I just checked the speed with Xfinity for 240mbps down and 21mbps up. That's the slowest up I've seen, usually at least twice that. Btw I read that there is no such thing as 10G. More bS from xfinity
8:10 pm central, 280 down 70 up
Thanks for the message. I completely agree and when and if a new provider comes to the area Spectrum will be gone.
What is difficult to understand is Verizon ran fiber optic cable down our road and has not attempted to promote their service. The fiber has been installed now going on 2 years.
Currently we are still hostage by Spectrum.
same, i hate spectrum
Exactly I live in Palm Lake Dr which is in Jacksonville, Florida. And WiFi 5 goes up to 866 Mbps, WiFi 6 speed goes up to 1.2 Gbps, WiFi 6E speed goes up to 2.4 Gbps^2.
Thanks for sharing!
Thx for the information I appreciate it more videos please
Thank you for the update!
This is why competition is good! It drives the prices down! I left cox cable for T-Mobile home Internet and never went back!
I just brought home T Mobile Home Internet for their 15 day trial. I currently have Spectrum 300 and I pay $110 a month for it which seems crazy. On first test, T Mobile is giving me wifi speeds over 400 mbps! That is actually almost twice as good as what I get with Spectrum. My wife works from home and must have secured network so not sure if it will work for us, but willing to try for the price!
I am new to the USA, and this video def helped a lot by presenting all options. Thank you very much!
I chose ATT fiber a long time ago it comes with HBO Max Included was grandfathered in with the HBO Max benefit I'm happy with the speed and reliability and hbo
We have T-mobile 5g home internet and I average between 250-300 downloading and about 20 up. In my experience T-mobile 5g home internet has been more reliable than comcast both for the network and price. I’m in Sacramento county in California. I love more than anything the lifetime price guarantee.
I have AT&T Fiber 500. Wondering if 5G could provide same reliability? I can have two TVs on TH-cam TV, a computer on the Internet, and a call using WIFI simultaneously. Should I switch?
What’s the best travel Wi-Fi if you do google fi for phone ? I’m draining my hotpot. My unlimited starts sept 2. But I need Wi-Fi for now ?
The only provider we have in Upstate New York is Spectrum and it is 79.99 per month. When and if a new provider comes to the area we will kick Spectrum to the curb. Spectrum is a monopoly and has the subscribers hostage for now. State government has done nothing to protect the subscribers. Internet should be treated like a utility and regulated as such.
BTW Spectrum purchased Time Warner Cable in Upstate New York and all the infrastructure was already installed. So all Spectrum did was purchase the existing company and jack up prices. Really nothing changed except the monthly charge.
Spectrum did nothing but take over TW. Again the benefit of monopoly. They are the only internet provider in the area.
Now Spectrum has closed the local service offices.
Internet monthly charges have doubled since the take over and Spectrum's stock price has increased by ripping off the former Time Warner subscribers.
Again, where is our government protection?
When you are the only bar in town drinks get expensive.
That’s around what I used to pay when Spectrum first took over. The price has gone up exponentially each year. Last summer my bill reached $105/month. It’s irritating but I haven’t been able to find a different provider for my area. As you said, they pretty much have a strangle hold on people in my area right now. I’ve still been looking around and trying to find something else. The second something comes up, I’m dropping them. Their customer service is terrible, and as much as we are paying, we still have difficulty streaming movies in our house semi regularly. Trash company.
Very informative video, thank you. I only pay Verizon FiOS $40 for my Internet. I am auto pay. It would be have been 50 bucks. I cut the cord last year have an antenna that pulls in a lot of stations. I am between Baltimore and Washington DC so reception is good, I do have Sling for some channels and they have a really good on demand feature also
Great and informative video!
My wife and I are seniors on a fixed income. We live in an apartment. Our apartment complex only gives us 2 options for internet. Spectrum, which is 300 mpbs and costs 79.99 (because we don't bundle with their tv service anymore) + 5.00 equipment fee. The other choice is AT&T internet 25, which is only 25 mpbs and is 55.00 per month. That would save us 30.00 per month but is 25 mpbs fast enough? We don't do games, and we only have one tv and a desktop computer. We've dropped youtube tv and replaced it with frndly tv and paromount plus which totals about 15.00 per month but we are still just barely making it. Why are apartment complexes so limited in their choices? At the last house we lived in we had AT&T Internet 50 at 50 mpbs which seemed to work well for us. I don't understand the 25 mpbs speed limit here. The only way spectrum will lower the price is if we bundle with their tv service. We just can't afford it. Don't know what to do.
Ugh -- this is tough. 25 Mbps *might* be OK, but if you use Wi-Fi like most people (not directly connecting devices to your gateway) the speed is often cut in half -- so 12.5 Mbps let's say. If I were you, I would probably stay with Spectrum if you can find $25 elsewhere in your budget to cut costs. It all depends on your priorities I would also keep an eye on T-Mobile and Verizon's 5G services as they expand.
Interesting video. I'm using the gig service from AT&T fiber as I work from home (lots of video calls w/ customers and co-workers, uploading and downloading large presentations, etc.) and it runs about the same or cheaper than the local cable company (Cox)... and my impression is that it is MUCH more reliable.
If I didn't feel like I needed the gig speed or the rock-solid reliability, I'd be looking hard at those 5G services...
AT&T Fiber is excellent! Agree about reliability vs. Cox.
When I told ATT I was dropping them, they couldn’t get the “deals” out of their mouth fast enough. Went to T-mobile got our phones and 5g internet unlimited on both $120/ month
@@mikeslater6256 why did you drop it?
@@bigabe23
Att wanted to treat it like a new installation. Fiber n/a in my neighborhood. So far T-Mobile wireless fits my needs.
In Massachusetts Verizon internet took 3 days to download games. Xfinity changed my gaming life. 400 mb download speed. Amazing customer service too.
Time Warner used to be good at keeping me at their provider with hefty discounts for a year. A few years ago, once they switched to Spectrum and the price bump kept happening I tried to cancel with the rep saying I couldn’t get no discounts at all, seeing as I has no other option back then so I stayed. That left a sour taste in my mouth and now I’m switching to a much cheaper 5g Verizon home internet. NOW that I try to cancel they sent me strictly to retention to provide me with discounts….sorry Spectrum, you can kick rocks…
I had the same situation. I have to cancel as soon as possible annoying Spectrum but still can’t decide which service will work better for me.
I'm in Southern California, recently switched to Spectrum from Frontier after also trying out T-Mobile and Verizon's 5G boxes. Frontier just kept raising prices at a furious pace and service was constantly being throttled. I've got a T-Mobile phone and it works great, but the 5G internet box was inconsistent in its operation, even with a cell booster in my home. Verizon's 5G box was similar and their $50 plan is only good for the first year (its $99 after that from the info I received). I needed a second cellphone anyway so Spectrum worked out for me. They installed a new line into my home from the phone pole in the back yard (the old one had degraded) and the tech hooked up both the modem and wireless while here (pretty simple so only about 5 minutes of his time), all for no extra charge. $60/mo for both cellphone and internet (200mps consistently, occasionally up near the 300mps rating) for two years. Three months into it and so far its working great. I did have to buy the new cellphone, but at a $40 one-time up front payment I thought it was a bargain.
Suddenlink has a home internet monopoly over my new little subdivision. When I complained over my rapidly increasing bill (it was up to nearly 200 bucks per month and rising for no legitimate reason) they started offering me huge discounts. I don’t live in an area T-Mobile home internet covers. I bought a hotspot mifi with T-Mobile but it didn’t work. Now I stream video via my mobile hotspots on 2 devices. Service here in and around Austin with T-Mobile is unpredictable lately. I didn’t have connectivity problems with T-Mobile until February this year. Since then the towers don’t seem to be working correctly. I spend hours troubleshooting with Tmobile technicians over the phone instead of streaming movies and video chatting with family. I hope they get better options for us here in Jarrell, TX soon.😢😢😢😢
I am paying 40 per month for 1 gig, but you gotta find a way to get that. I had someone approached my home in 2021 offered me that deal. I switched from fios & have no regrets. I guess, spectrum only offers these deals to non spectrum customers.
Random so, we have AT&T and have been using it since I was in high school. I graduated in 2014 now today AT&T does not work in my home location and AT&T fiber isn’t available at my location either. The only one that works is T mobile home internet. I hope that it pulls through. I will be trying it soon so we will see.
Have had verizon 5g home for about a year. Average about 300mb/sec download and about 20/most upload.
1 year ago, i was paying att $110 for 1g fiber. I ordered tmobile and when i got the gateway I called att telling them I wanted to cancel. They offered to lower the price down to $60!! For a year. So I stayed.
Today im paying $90, last month i paid $80. Appears to be increasing by $10 a month. I will have to call att again. Not sure what will happen.
Usually try to go to some games in person, but tickets anymore are out of site. Seriously considering Sunday Ticket this year
Northern Nevada - We have Spectrum cable and internet bundle with DVR. If it were just me, I'd drop the cable, but my husband is a die-hard sports fan: NFL, NBA, MLB so it seems we have to have a premium cable sports package. We're paying $275 month! Is there another way?
In rural areas most are not available. I have T-Mobile and am grateful to even have internet. It is limited to 100gb per month and slow but at least I have it and I can take it on the road. My nest home the number one priority is high speed unlimited internet.
I was with Spectrum for years but switched to Frontier 500 about 6 months ago. Never had any interruptions. everything works smoothly. I get it free thru ACP .
We've had t-mobile home internet for about 5 months and it runs 70-80 up and 20-25 down. We have had some issues of dropout coverage but it hasn't been terrible. We switched from Optimum because we were tired about our prices going up even though they promised they wouldn't. We've also had lots of mail offering deals to come back.
T-Mobile 5G is great when it is working, but the frustration of dropped service a few times a day is not worth the hype
@@aligned4good Agreed. I tried T-Mobile home internet for 30 days and averaged 50 Mbps download speeds and 15 Mbps upload speeds when it was working. From 5 PM to 10 PM speeds were half that or the service did not work at all. Overall I found that at least 5% of the time I was without working internet. Hate to say it but I would not use this as my primary home internet service even if it was free. Fast and reliable internet is worth far more than the $60 - $80 you would spend on a legit cable or fiber internet plan.
What do you think of metros pcs home internet service or pre paid home internet
Can you do a mifi comparison or is it worth the money for streaming? Neither Verizon or T Mobile home internet is available although they offer mifi
We recently got Optimum 1 Gig fiber internet and it’s not bad, but setting it up and the customer service is terrible. It took over 2 days after installation to have the internet even go on.
Thanks for the information bro I just switch from spectrum internet paying 105.94 each month now switching to T mobile home internet even the speed a little bit slower a times it still usable for streaming and I just play games in the morning time when the speed is faster or at night. With t mobile home internet 50 dollars an month is a steal in my book saving 55 dollars an month wow.
thanks for the info
I have at&t I have 3 tvs an 3 rings camera plus my hone an computer. I have 35/35 it's 10$ for disabled. What do u recommend to see my camera videos faster?
I pay spectrum $84.99 per month. Just went up $5.00. I have contacted both Verizon and T mobile and am told my address is not good for their 5 G . T mobile said I could get their 4G lite but it would cost more and have a data cap to boot? Can't wait to try either. I'm about 25 miles NW of Columbus ,OH out in the country.
How do you print using 5g? I don't want to switch down to 2.5.
T mobile here consistently get 200+speed down. Varies up, but I don’t upload many files. Plenty good for 2 tvs and 5 other devices. I’m .9 miles from a tower so I get good signal.
I get my home Internet service through my cellphone carrier, Metro by T-Mobile. My monthly fee is $103.00 because I'm paying for a cellphone/Internet 'bundle. The service is perfect for me, I live in downtown Baltimore City.
So which is a good one. I did not see one. I can’t get fiber here where i live so which is a good one.
I’m paying $190 for Xfinity and did a little pricing comparison. T-mobile 5g is not available in my area, but AT&T Fiber is going to cost me $55 a month. It’s a no-brainer.
There's a good gift card deal on AT&T Fiber right now with a promo code. If you go to my website, I have it toward the bottom of this page: michaelsaves.com/deals/deal-alerts/
I have Xfinity 1G for my internet and 2 phones for my mobile with Xfinity. I pay $95 for internet and $30 for the 2 phones with unlimited text and calling. That's $125 a month for the internet and 2 phones. I got 2 Galaxy A53 5G phones for free around Christmas time. I use TH-cam TV for my cable and have Netflix and Disney Plus for other streaming programing. Disney Plus gives me Hulu and ESPN Plus for $13 a month. Thanks for your time and videos.
Great -- phone bundling helps out!
You’re getting ROBBED!!!
I NEED HELP i live in a community living, I just bought a PS5, I’m currently using my hotspot to download games, should I think about adding a home internet to my phone bill? How do routers work? I can’t use my hotspot forever right? I have unlimited data on my phone but I’m just confused and not sure what the best move is. I like to play online games like GTA and Fortnite. So what should I do? I saw routers you can buy on Amazon but do I need home Wi-Fi for the router?
It's really knowledgeable dear I have worked for both spectrum charter and Comcast but these all are competitors of each other well I'm sales guy I have been out of the market several years this video is amazing these are all their tricks to get more customers as I remember spectrum use to give buy out plan for 500$ and also paying terminations fees in 2017 this business is really serious drama putting hands into a sharks mouth for awhile knowing what comes next but my favorite will be Comcast always
My apartment only has Cox which is $50 minimum. I think ~$40 is reasonable. My old apartment had Xfinity and I paid ~40. At a lower speed, but it was plenty for a single person.
I signed up for T-Mobile Home Internet about a year ago.
The first 2 weeks were great… then it went to shit & has remained shitty.
The excuse is always that T-Mobile is updating their towers.
Most recently I was told that when there is a heavy Home Internet VS Cell demand, T-Mobile gives preference to cell coverage which makes Home Internet even slower.
I have repeatedly had videos freeze & pages not load.
It has been common to have speeds as low as 6.7Mbps.
So. I cancelled T-Mobile Home Internet & I would not encourage anyone to purchase T-Mobile Home Internet if you live near Cleveland, Ohio.
My T-Mobile cell service is flawless just about anywhere I go. I am an Over The Road Truck Driver.
Spectrum is my only provider I can get in my area but after a yr when then promotion runs out I have it shut off and put in another family members name, I do without home internet for one day but to me its worth it!
Hi Michael. AT&T fiber is not available in my neighborhood, but they do offer a plan called AT&T Fiber DSL Hybrid for $55 per month for up to 75mbps. I email for work, stream DirectTV stream but do not do any gaming. I currently have Spectrum internet 300 and one of their channel packages. I want to cancel Spectrum because pricing has increased so much. What are your thoughts on AT&T DSL Hybrid? Thanks.
75 Mbps is probably OK as long as you don’t have a large household with many connected devices. I guess you could also price internet only from Spectrum if you want to keep those speeds.
I have Cox rn in SD Cali. Im thinking about T-Mobile as there is a spot available in my area. I have no idea if its worth it lol
THANKS!
The average cost of 500 mbps speed plan with Cox in Phoenix is $90/mo. (more for faster, less for slower), though I get bundled and special promotional discounts. However, expanded cable TV, Showtime, HBO and box rentals (except for DVR's and CableCARDs) are included with our HOA fee. So cutting the cord would be dumb because we are still paying for it (at about 70% off) thru our bulk contract for the resort condo community where I live. Therefore, when my latest DVR rental died a month ago, I turned it in and got a no-fee receiver box only, then ordered a new Tivo Edge for cable with CableCARD from Cox (which does cost $6/mo. since not included in our HOA like standard receiver boxes are). The Tivo Edge with no subscription fees (lifetime paid) and a 5-yr. warranty plan was just $450+ tax. I was paying at least that in monthly DVR box rental & service fees in less than two years with Cox.
If I had to pay full price for cable I probably would cut the cord.
Understood. I live in Florida and there are a lot of people here in similar situations because cable is part of the HOA fee.
@@MichaelSaves Ah yes, Florida. The "other" resort state with private condo communities and often notorious HOA's, LOL. It might be wise to mention those whose cable is included so as not to imply that everyone who has a cable subscription (or looks for a solution that includes one) isn't just stubborn, foolish or wasting money, which is sort of the implied tone of your cord-cutting videos, although it is understandable -- and I mostly agree.
@@SWLinPHX 5 types of people who should not cut the cord: th-cam.com/video/QoZm4rxGqtg/w-d-xo.html
Love your video. ??? How can I find out how fast the speed for T-Mobile
T-Mobile Home Internet is 5G meaning its wireless. Speeds can vary a lot depending on where you live, how far you are from a cell tower, congestion, etc.
I have had Comcast internet and TV forever . The price I pay with all the fees and taxes is appx . $195 per month. I called up about just having internet from Comcast ($100 per month) and getting TH-cam TV ($75 monthly) ...so if I change .. I'm not really saving any money. I am only at my home 50% of the time as I travel almost every weekend and work outside of my home 4 days a week.
We pay $72 a month for 1Gig AT&T Fiber, which includes no data caps and HBO MAX. It was about $92 a month until I contacted them about a $20 discount for 12 month deal I saw.
I was also able to get an updated WiFi 6 gateway, but that was a headache to wrangle.
That's some good negotiating
I have the same att plan with HBO max for $60 per month. I also have the TMobile home internet at $25 for life. If att drops HBO max, it's probably gone.
I'm also thinking about getting that new white router but I'm doing ok with the old black router...but I just want to see the new wifi range on the new router...how is it?
Yes, we have both, ATT Fiber 1000 GB, No Data Cap and TMobile 5G as a supplement, it works, So far …So Good.
Exactly the best use I have found for 5G home internet so far is to supplement a real internet connection. It is basically a glorified mobile hotspot with unlimited deprioritized data. In no way is it a proper home internet connection.
I currently have Optimum 1gig plus cable plus a land line. Its gone up from $170 to $213 in a year. I have Ring cameras plus Ring Pro so I need more internet speeds than most.
I've had T-Mobile home internet for 2yrs. My speeds range from 175-320 mbps. I'm in the NYC area no complaints.$50 a month......
I am considering doing the service dance and going from Comcast 1200GBPS top tier into Astound same top tier to save some money. My comcast promo is going away and now paying 95 bucks and another year I will be around 110 a month. I do online gaming and we stream about 10 devices not all at once so wondering if we can even get away with downgrading.
Chances are that you can even get by with a 500 Mbps connection.
I just called AT&T , they said fiber optic isn't offered in my area. Time to make a change. 👍👍👍👍
I had at&t internet service since the DSL days like 20 years ago or so...now i have 1GB Fiber and I never had any major issues and at&t would always work with me on pricing. Currently I'm paying $70 for 1GB speeds and that includes HBO MAX...so its a good deal. I don't really need that much speed but since the 1GB plan included HBO Max I got it.
You're paying for 1Gb speed. 1GB would be much faster (and much more expensive) if they even offered it.
@@jasonjoyce7835 They deliver the speed consistently as do most fiber internet providers. 1 Gbps as in 950 Mbps which is the theoretical max speed.
thinking about getting me & the fam wifi, would spectrum be the best option for gaming & streaming?
If you don’t have fiber in your area, cable would be my second choice for gaming. Some people do fine gaming with 5G home services though.
Don't forgot about frontier fiber, blazing fast! The have deals going on now with free installation and free equipment.
Wanted T-mobile but keeps saying not available in my area!
Switched from XFINITY (internet, cellular, tv) to Fidium Fiber, TH-cam TV & T-Mobile. XFINITY just got too expensive. Now, fewer contracts, faster internet, & cheaper. It is a bit of a hassle switching mobile providers. Now I’m watching TH-cam TV, along with my other streaming services through my Apple TV 4k. It’s a pretty amazing experience. Highly recommend if you’re already part of the Apple ecosystem.
What has been your experience using Zoom with either t-Mobile or Verizon? I do a log of Zoom teaching and have been using Comcast's 1GB service but it's expensive. I'm a t-Mobile customer
I Zoom quite regularly and both services have worked just fine. Please don't judge by the Zoom interviews posted on my TH-cam channel. The quality of those is poor because of a video setting I neglected to turn on (HD video).
@@MichaelSaves Thanks
I switched to At&t fiber from spectrum. Best thing I've done in a while. Faster cheaper.
T -Mobile with a good signal getting both 4 and 5G I get 25 to 20 at best. All weekend I got 0.20 or lower and it was unusable. Many days like that lately as T-Mobile has oversold the service. I have no choice but to switch back to Frontier fiber.
