I’m no expert but I’ve seen ads on my TV from T-Mobile telling you to use their system as your home internet connection.I’ve read that such a setup can be unreliable.

I have that similar thing from Verizon. My daughter has T-Mobile. It's called "Verizon 5G Home Internet" and runs you about $75-$80/month IIRC with discounts if you have cell phones with them.

It's not a phone per se. Instead it's basically an internet router that you do not need to connect any cables to except power. It's a square cube about 8"x8"x8" that you plug into the wall preferably near a window. If you have decent enough cell service to begin with, you get a nice, fast connection with this. Very capable of streaming video on several devices without any noticeable issue.

An advantage is if you don't like where you have it located, you can move it somewhere else that has a power outlet, plug it in, and you're back in business.

Easiest setup I've ever been through.

I have T Mobile internet which operates on cell tower. I have found it reliable, and inexpensive compared to cable. It provides adequate capacity for my basic tv streaming and computing needs. That said, I doubt there service would be adequate for HD streaming and gaming.

I have T Mobile Home Internet. The download speeds vary pretty significantly but it always works fine for streaming and surfing. I’ve been happy with it for about 3 years. It costs $65 month.
