- Google Fi promises super fast 5G internet data speed. But is it REAL or is it FAKE?
I test Google Fi both locally in the US and then internationally to see how their fast internet data speeds holds up - Here is what I discovered about Google Fi's fast data

I 100% agree. I have Google Fi with the pixel phone. I have the Flexible plan so I only pay for what I use since I'm connected to wifi a lot. It comes with an included free VPN as well if you choose to. I also travel internationally and went to Italy and Switzerland just recently. My main priority was on international coverage at a fair price and good speed. I decided to go with Google Fi last year after researching different providers. Best decision I could make. I'm not going back to old providers.
boom!!!! totally agree 🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos!! I am a victim of identity theft. My life is no longer private. I feel violated. It’s an iPhone and all I have. They have my email, name, physical address, & I do not know how but they have my phone number so have my whole entire phone. It’s no longer mine. I set up gmail & the 2-factor authentification gets changed! I can’t even have a dang email. Apple was NO help nor was my ISP. Should I just destroy this phone?? I hate iPhone.
Never head of Google Fi, thanks for the video! Helpful :) Always upvote Liron.
Happy to help! Def worth checking out!
In 2017, I went from the iPhone/AT&T combo to the Pixel/Fi combo. Game changer.
Try canceling your service if it stops working. Pixel 8 pro/Fi combo only worked for 2 days while traveling. Chatting with them for over an hour got me nowhere. They said they won't cancel service until I receive and pay the first $70 bill.
I would just like to point out that aside from the normal fluctuations in speed, there is an order of priority based on plan tier. Your T-Mobile speed if you had a lower end plan could be slower at times than even an mvno depending on the network. There's a whole rabbit hole for this sort of thing thing
He showed that TMobile charges extra for higher international speeds.
yeah I kinda mentioned that in the video. Their higher tier plan has limitation on the data.
Ahhh yeah it depends on the area I am in. Sometimes it's 300Mbps
@@mrsteve3527 I was referring to domestic speeds.
Very good video Liron I Never knew about this good to know this wifi system can be used in other countries 🆒👍
I would never travel again without this kind of service. No more hunting for local sim cards.
Im using ESim from T-Mobile and my speed has been terrible so far. Should i switch my phone over to the physical google fi sim? Would that help anything?
Hey Liron, great video, as usual :) Do you have a video that exists for us not so technie people who don't have smart phones but would like to load certain apps that are only available for Iphone or Android?
What are you going to load the apps to if you don't have a smart phone?
my Google fi sim kit is coming to my mailbox in a few days, can't wait to test it out
Thank-you..soo funny I am from Italy Rimini near San Marino woww and I live in Dallax TX
..Thank-you brother for your explanation Thank-you soon much..🙏blessings from Waxahachie 😄
i love the way you explain tech, its so cool
I appreciate that!
I never had great luck with T-Maybe, even in the states. Thanks for the test info, I just recently got google fi and curious how it might work abraod before I start travelling.
I have had Google Fi for about 2 years and something has changed recently and the data speed is terrible. When I first got the plan it was very fast and now it seems almost unusable in the upper Midwest US. I don't know if it is related to them getting dropped by US cellular or if T-Mobile is throttling them now, but I am considering looking for something else.
Yeah, I see similar issue. I came from TMobile where it was around 1.5-3 mbps in north west USA. I saw people with their speed test running at 100+mbps, which I never came close. Even their techs messed around with my phone, but no dice. After 2-3 years, I decided to change over to Google Fi. It started out pretty decent (25-30mbps) in the first 2 years, but now... around 3-8mbps.
@@nothinrandomany Updates? I am in Chicago and my speeds are great.
Great info! What plan do you have with Tmobile?
one question please that is not related to this topic. which antivirus do you recommend for my computer, I don't care about the cost, I care about being safe
Thank you very much Michael from cyprus
Thank you for this video, I am doing the switch.
Google fi took my number I had for over 10 years and charged me $2,556 for one month with the service so yeah take that as you will
For the Mavic 3 and run the DJI FLY App, which tablet does you recommend, taking into account the bright screen so we can fly in the sun and others. Thank you.
Ok … always waiting for your content!
You're the best!
I would like you to explain why you use a Google phone versus others. Maybe a mini explanations of your thoughts on phones.
love the show,lovely work
Appreciate you being here 🔥
@@LironSegev you very talented
Ping times matter just as much, if not more than, the bandwidth you get. For example, Dent Wireless, while in US, provides sufficient speeds, but is routed through Europe, ends up giving you 500ms or so ping, and it fills slow as molasses.
I think it was your site that said if you connect two of your net gears together that it will improve speed. If you’ve had someone get your passcode, which way would you connect for security?
Man you should test for Zambia coz we are so slow ,am from Zambia after all
What T-Mobile plan do you have, was it Magenta max with the 5gb of premium data or just magenta? Also if you have a “phone for Google fi” I’d be really curious to see if us cellular is faster than Tmobile on fi.
Thanks it is a great tip take care Ahron.
Definitely was Ahron! you can even say "hypnotizing" 😜

Hi, is it need to recive real sim to use esim?
I'm thinking to use google fi esim but I can't choose e-sim plan on website...
Northern California / T-Mobile / OnePlus 8T 5G / Download - 799 mb/sec || Upload - 52.9 mb/sec.
How much does it slow when you hit 50GB cap and it gets Throttled?
I'm sorry, but your speeds at home aren't anything to brag about. I have lived out of the US for several years now and have become accustomed to far different service at much lower cost.
Congrats 🙄
Nice Explained, liked that Google's tech
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Liron Segev
You got it! 🔥
This would be a lot better if it used something other than US Cellular and T-Mobile
Liron, could you do a video on where i can get a safe free winzip from
Great video kudos!
Glad you enjoyed it
Does it not bother you that google has no respect for people's privacy? I trust Google as far as I can throw their phones.
@@l0I0I0I0 yes, it not both you
sir can you give some model or of router or modem in philippines that support mtu editting(command)
I've got Google Fi with an eSim. How do I know if I'm using Google Fi or T-Mobile or will I only be using Google Fi since I don't have a SIM?
If you don't have a SIM and only have Google Fi - how are you with T-Mobile? I am confused...
But lets say you have a T-Mobile sim and Google Fi eSim so you have two cell numbers (one from each provider). When you make a call it will ask you which SIM you want to use, same when sending a text. When it come to data, and calls and text, you can set up your preference in the phone's Mobile setting. Swipe down, long hold on Internet, click the gear icon next to T-Mobile (or whoever your main provider is)
Best explanation I've seen. Congratulations 👍
appreciate you!
Google is too expensive that's the problem, to have that speed abroad you need the $65.00 per month plan, 2 lines and your at at $130. Plus taxes, no thanks
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
WiFi is an Australian invention, we have the 5G network now, it is super fast, lets me upload my videos in less than half the time of NBN
👍
Is this available in philippines? Google fi.
hi LIRON
YOU TALK ABOUT UNLIMITED DATA.
I AM FROM CANADA WHEN I GO TO US
HOW TO SAVE ON ROMING PRICES AND HUGE DAILY CHARGES TO YOU USE CELL TO TALK?\THANKS
JW
Can you test Skylink Liron?
I am not in the coverage area...
@@LironSegev It will come I am sure.
I’ve been thinking of moving from my current T-mobile international plan to Google fi. I really want to hear your experience over there as I travel a lot.
Thats exactly what I did. Its all in the video
@@LironSegev yeah I saw I need to switch.
It cuts off after 3months
Do not get it.have no support.a rip off.
Still i am shock your 5G UC is providing that low speed 😅
right?!? 5G isn't all the marketing claims it is UNLESS you are in the right coverage area and then it can be (I get over 350Mbps in some locations)
I use Google Fi, it's okay, they do data speed cap you after a certain point. Felt misleading to me personally with the whole truly unlimited talk. But that's why they have all those asterix in the fine print hahha
All the providers has some sort of cap where they start throttling you. Any idea what it is for Google Fi?
@@LironSegev I wanna say it's like 10gb hotspot and 30gb download per person before throttle
@@LironSegev you can pay for more but idk I'd really love to see a truly accessible affordable unlimited plan one day
Cricket doesn't throttle you on their $60 plan.
Review and check out U.S mobile, it also has the e-sim ability and claim their internet is extremely fast
Try visible. Doesn't get any worse. Lol
Soon as im working,i will send you a thankyou
promise
Interesting. No silver bullet but Google Fi seems to be on the right track.
Agreed - the convenience and reliability of it is 100% right - not easy to do when you are piggybacking on other people's networks.
Very poor data transfer speed.
Does T-Mobile suck that bad everywhere?
no - really depends where you are. I get over 300Mbps in some areas with T-Mobile
@@LironSegev Good to hear because your example was throw it in the river pitiful.🤪
u use vpn
yes - but not in this video (if that is what you are asking)
Hi
hi
If Elon Musk were to make a Twitter phone, would you give it a chance? I'm not affiliated in any way with Elon; I'm just curious.
Hmm
?
@@LironSegev no I was just interested on how it works sometimes I just go hmm not because something is wrong
👍
👋
Google Fi? Who can afford that? Welfare checks don't lol
this seems great for my needs @ liron segev have you tested it after you went over the data cap?
