5G

[JD Austin]

I rejected TMobile home Internet after having it on for 15m.  The wifi
router has none of the configuration options you'd expect... no port
forwarding or the other wireless router options you'd expect.  The only
place with a good signal was too far from my office (might work if you can
hook it to a mesh network... not sure you can).  I sent it back the same
day I received it and had a $12 bill. It didn't seem to have consistent
speed or latency, but I didn't test it thoroughly.  I might try it again in
a few years.
