think they would let you know about when signing up (I'm in a trial for ATT internet air, but the internets are telling me same with Tmobile, Verizon 5g services)
Does not play nice with streaming services like Netflix, DirecTV Stream, etc because has migrating IP address, those services think you are streaming remotely. No fix.
Guess that makes sense since they are providing thru cell phone towers, but you think they could assign an IP address to the router?
Sux.

And zero issues with that. Not sure where that’s coming from.

just got off phone with ATT, they are like yep we know, and can't do anything
Tmobile not available in my area
how I found out, Direct last night all the sudden had an alert that it looks like I had moved, do I want to change my home address. Did a IP address search, had me located in central Bama, this AM located in Columbia. Also noted, was trying to "stress" my broadband as much as I could when I hooked it up last night, would only let me stream local fox channel on 2 tvs, 3rd said I had exceeded streaming limit for that content.

and have no trouble streaming netflix, hulu live, amazon, disney, HBO Max, or even working from home and conferencing as needed.
Actually, the only problem i have found is that printers do not use 5g so i must use a cable to connect and print... bummer on that but my internet bill dropped by $100 per month by making the switch.

Be a gateway only. It’s not doing any of the router work.

Included with my phone plan - two phones + internet with unlimited data = $140 mo.
As I was already on T Mobil, it only cost me $8 out the door when I signed up for the internet plan - no contract and equipment provided. $8... out the door.
