T-Mobile’s 5G network has been able to get me off of Comcast and onto their home internet service. Speeds in my neighborhood have been great, typically 300Mbps download / 70Mbps upload.

I’m thankful that this has created competition in the home internet market in my area.

That upload speed is tremendous compared to Comcast's regular offerings. How is your latency compared to Comcast? How is your overall experience compared to Comcast during periods of likely congestion?

Ping times are higher for sure. I’ll try to check what they are when I get home.

Comcast worked quite well in my neighborhood. I always received the speed I was being charged for. The TMobile service isn’t quite as reliable, but it’s still quite good. I spend a lot of time on video calls and never have any issues even during high usage times.

Thank you for the detail. If you don't mind me asking, what pushed you to make the switch?
