I should add that I went to the Xfinity store on 441 in Lady Lake and the young man I spoke with was very helpful. He is from the Northeast and understands the problems with living in a very rural area. He told me to tell the internet provider that I want 300mbps+ and to ask about unlimited. The people who answered my OP are obviously very knowledgeable, so do you agree with wht he told me, and is there anything else I need?

I am definitely going to chat with T-Mobile to see what they have.
The T-Mobile website will say the speeds range from 27Mbps to 300Mbps and there is no limit on usage (Xfinity has a 1TB limit).

The speed on the T-Mobile 5G internet is limited by the mobile network; they don't program in a number, you get whatever the network can provide, but the network can't provide much over 300Mbps and if it is busy then it won't be able to provide that.

I have lived with 25Mbps and 1TB for quite a while so the speeds on T-Mobile don't worry me, just availability and reliability in the remote area where I want to install it.
