I measured the download speed several times a day and found it varied quite a lot, from just over 2 Mbs to over 200 Mbs. Realizing I would have to transfer a dozen wifi connections to switch to T Mobile, I decided to stick with wired internet and returned the receiver.
You wouldn't necessarily have to transfer wifi connections to TMobile. Just set the TMobile wifi name (network name, SSID) and password to what you are currently using and all the devices should happily connect.

On the other hand, I had used a character in my SSID that TMobile did not support so I did have to change that in all my devices. A bit of work but good practice to find all the devices and to remember how to configure them.
