If you’ve been relying on T-Mobile 5G Home Internet a lot lately, and you happen to live in a high-traffic area, you may have found yourself getting frustrated during the day when your network speed slows down. yeah.
You might be wondering why it’s so slow when 5G is usually fast.
Then you start to suspect that you’ve reached your data limit, but that’s not all.
In fact, there is no data limit.
As it turns out, the carrier is changing its terms of service for home broadband users, with a new clause that says “high-volume internet users who send 1.2TB of data in a monthly billing cycle may experience reduced speeds.” It turned out that it was added. During times of congestion or when the network is under a lot of pressure.
According to T-Mobile’s latest terms, the change will go into effect on Jan. 18, and the company says that during busy times, “users will have last priority on the network,” and speeds will slow down if congestion persists. there is a possibility. .
ah.
The company also notes that home internet service is only available in some areas and is meant to be used in fixed and stationary environments (compared to phones, which are more likely to be in crowded areas). The company added: “These customers should generally be less likely to notice congestion.”
This is a “potential restriction” that your phone company is putting in place. If you are a heavy home Internet user who lives in an area where the network is under a lot of stress, you may experience slow data speeds when the network is busy or “congested.” Once that passes and your network returns to normal, your speeds should return to normal as well.
You may be wondering how to deal with slow speeds.
The answer is nothing.
T-Mobile does not allow users to purchase additional high-speed data, CNET reported. Users with more than 1.2 TB per month can still get faster speeds, but they must wait until the congestion period clears or ends, and in these particular instances, if the network in the area is Speeds will be slower during busier times.
So why do we do this in the first place? The mobile phone company said this is a way to ensure all users’ networks are protected.
“Our mainstream broadband home Internet products serve millions of customers using hundreds of gigabytes of data,” a spokesperson for the carrier told CNET. “To ensure all of our customers have a great network experience into the future, we have updated our terms of service to ensure that single-digit percent of our users who require more than 1.2 TB per month “You will be given priority over other users.” Home Internet customers only during busy periods. ”
