Tried it for 3 mos back at the first of the year. Couldn't get more than 2 bars. Since we stream our TV it was unacceptable with buffering a problem. Worse, when we had guests and more devices using it, it was really bad. Switched to Xfinity and am enjoying TV again.

Assuming you are asking about T-Mobile Home WiFi which uses 5G. Yes we have had it for 5 months. We had to be within a certain distance of a 5G cell tower (when you check to see if it is Available on their website with your address - they determine accessibility to signal). And that tower doesn’t have too much data traffic (ie no overloading the network) then you are offered it.
We chose T-Mobile because Verizon service wasn’t available at our address.
And we cut the Xfinity cord because of constant outages and required modem resets almost weekly.
So far we lost signal twice in 5 months with T-Mobile.
And the set $50 per month no increase - added no data caps. So far a winner.
And we stream all our TV service so we do use it heavily.

We are using it in an RV park in Minnesota along the Mississippi River. We were unable to get any other internet service because of the large amount of tree cover etc. It has been working great for us and we are planning to bring it along with us to The Villages in the fall when we return. We are very happy with it!
