And a high limit data plan added to that phone. Diane has 50gb hot spot available on her phone and I only have 5gb so we would need to add another 10gb for our average needs.

Starlink here we come

I think a lot of people will feel the same way.

We maybe considering Starlink. We loved our T Mobile Internet Tower simply because it was a cheap answer for Internet out on the road. I'm to afraid to to do Verizon Home Internet cause they could do the same thing. I heard that Amazon Prime was going to launch their version of Starlink Internet. But it could be that it won't happen anytime soon.

Keep in mind that Amazon is years behind Starlink at getting satellites to space. At this point it’s more of a fantasy than a realistic option.

We should be grandfathered in. I hope. Did you hear anything on that? Lynn and Danny

being grandfathered in crossed my mind to but because it never was designed or presented as a mobile device and was advertised as a Home entertainment system and most companies don't think of a roaming RV's RV as "home" I'm not holding out much hope for that. BUT, I hope I am wrong.

​. We hope you're wrong too. T-Mobile is what we've been using since we went on the road..

Honestly, I think the move was intended to get people to jump ship. I do not think T-Mobile has any interest in providing unlimited data for users to use anywhere they can get a signal. It is not worthwhile to them even at a higher price point. It makes sizing the capacity of their network much more challenging. By setting the price point at $160 per month they will quickly weed out the customers they do not want. Yes, it kind of stinks but why they allowed it in the first place kind of surprises me.

You could certainly be right. It sure would be interesting to sit in on one of their meetings.

@@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707 100% agreed! I do not think T-Mobile had any idea how many people would try and exploit a loophole. To be fair I would not recommend T-Mobile Home Internet as a home internet service. It is not worth $50 per month in my honest opinion as an enterprise network admin with 10 years of experience. A $50ish per month plan from Xfinity, Spectrum, Verizon Fios, AT&T Fiber or most other cable or fiber ISPs will blow T-Mobile out of the water for performance and especially for consistency. To me T-Mobile Home Internet is great if live in a rural area and your options are limited to satellite or possibly a low speed DSL connection. Otherwise, I would get a cable or fiber based connection over a 5G connection any day of the week. The 5G Home Internet sounded a lot more interesting when it was mobile. One thing that cable and fiber ISPs can't offer is the mobility of 5G cellular connectivity. Otherwise for home internet, I have a 1000/1000 Mbps fiber circuit with AT&T and a 400/35 Mbps cable circuit with Xfinity. Together they cost $110 per month, both have unlimited unthrottled data, and have averaged 99.92% and 99.45% reliability each in the last calendar year. I have not had a single minute where both services were down at the same time in 3 years.

$160 a month is more that Starlink. They will lose a ton of customers and Starlink will be the winner.

But don’t you have to pay like 600 bucks or more just for the Starlink device. Plus I hear Starlink doesn’t work if going over a certain speed. So people can’t use it when driving down the road?
