T Mobile 5G Gateway – Is it good for online gaming?

Answer is no

My experience with this T mobile internet is that it is amazing for streaming movies and shows but… it is dog water for gaming. Especially when I’m trying to play Mortal Kombat 1 online. There is so much lag it’s not even funny. It runs decent when I play Fortnite and Overwatch but any competitive games, yeah good luck playing.

Ok so here is my dilemma and ultimate question…I have been with tmobile for a year and I get around 550 down and 50 up…pay 60 for the service…recently I got verizon cell phones and they encouraged me to try the 5g home internet…after the white cube was sent I requested the ce1000a extender and Wnc-cr200a modem and have received them…I average only 350 down and 25 upload but I know the potential of the speed with verizon…it's 65.00 for verizon…I have until 5-14 5o make my decision on whether to keep it or send it back…2 cell phones (s24 plus and iphone 14 plus and internet) are 219.00 a month…from a price stand position it feels like a good deal although the first payment is gonna be a cozy but will average 219 without auto pay and around 189 with autopay for all 3…I'm gonna pay either way…do I hold out and keep verizon and know that I will eventually get the ultra wide band 5g and average 1000 down or do I send the equipment back and stick with tmobile….350 down seems fine for everything we need from it I NEVER notice lag or slowdown I just know in the back of my mind…

Tmobile 550 down 50 up=60
Verizon 350 down 25 up=65

All opinions are welcome…what do I do and more importantly what would you personally do

We have enough bandwidth I feel I just am so so so pulled on who to keep and who to cut…help me make the smart choice so I can sleep at night and not worry about what I need to do lol

And before someone says spend more or get better internet this is as good as i can afford just wanted an opinion

Where I live I get over 500-600mbps download speeds and 9-10 mbps upload speeds with t-mobile. I live in the state of Wyoming so bring options are more limited I’m tempted to go with t mobile because coverage is good where I live.

Terrible ain’t it ??

Your area depends on how well this box will work

Optimum WIFI is good in 2024? Is fast, plan 40? $

That box is just a glorified paper weight that i want to take an tire iron to it.

Ass it's garbage it's cheap which is the good thing can't connect to mw3

Hahaha it sucks for literally everything, and I hate to tell you guy's i worked for t-mobile and we don't, excuse me when I worked there a month ago, 5g isnt a thing ,as we didnt have it , like because its not real . Verizon doesn't have it either ive got a friend who works there as well. Just not a real thing but we we're told to target people who weren't really tech savy but thought they were, if that mskes sense.

Trash

I have it and it just randomly started being so terrible

For some reason at around 12 midnight i get terrible packetloss and ping maybe 3 mbps happens every saturday night worka again on monday

i live in riverdale,ga and we have 2 sony ps5 in my house but if get online first (play call of duty mw3)and my brother wants to play the same game (he bought the game we don't do game share)his ps5 he gets kicked out or vice versa it always say:lost connection to host/server. connection timed out., i think ill go back to xfinity.

I use this for online gaming in my semi truck. It only drops when I'm in extremely remote areas but for 50 it's great.

I play gta 5 on it.

What ping Can you get in the best case pls?

The reason that you have connection issues related to NAT type is because T-Mobile Home Internet uses CGNAT to provide you with an IP address. Most ISPs such as Xfinity, Spectrum, AT&T, and Cox provide each customer with a proper publicly routable IP address. This mean that you can use features like port forwarding to fix NAT related issues. I did a comprehensive review of it on my website.
