If T-Mobile is going to throw that reputation down the toilet then there is no reason for me to have 2 bars in my house in downtown Chicago.
Also, "two bars" may not actually be bad. If you are getting slow speeds, dropped calls, etc, then sure that is bad.
For $95 a month I get 14gb regular tethering, and these streaming services. Combined with the true unlimited 4g I get to my normal phone. My phone has HDMI-out, and I just connect it to my television. I've never once seen 480p video since this started using this strategy. I'm considering getting a cheap phone that has HDMI out and setting up a separate account to do this on and keep it at home all the time.
I'm pro net-neutrality, but living on an island with somewhat-atrocious internet has led me to consider this the best thing ever in my day-to-day life entertainment wise.
