Is anyone using this for internet? I am thinking about switching from LUS. My LUS has been super slow lately. Also, I am currently using a TP Link Deco mesh extender. I assume I can use it with the new service. Thanks.

I can't imagine it being better than fiber.

He probably can't get fiber. Nothing is better than fiber.

But, my GF lives in the sticks and has Verizon wireless Internet, and it streams HDTV just fine. It stutters a little bit when her daughter is trying to download a game on PS5, but traffic should be prioritized no matter what.

Diagnose your home network first. Wire decos together if possible.

Kind of off subject, but does AT&T allow 2 simultaneous circuits to a home? I currently have AT&T fiber, but I'm looking at adding a back-up satellite/5G network (looking at Mint, ATT Air, Starlink, etc)

I mean if you’re using a mesh system, and it’s not wired, there is a much higher likelihood that the problems you experience are manifested by the local network as opposed to a service provider.

at&t already provides free cellular backup for at&t fiber/wireless customers. The gateways will automatically fall back to your phone after you get it setup.

No thanks. Requires the phone to be home during the outage.

No at&t will not allow/offer air at an address with fiber available. You'll have to go another 5G provider or cable internet for backup.

$65 a month for internet and voice. I don't stream much and I'm not a gamer, but for my purposes I have absolutely no complaints.
