The excellent 21 dB SINR only tells how well you're receiving, now how well the tower is hearing you.Ī failure in the gateway itself is one possibility. My guess is that something may have gone physically bad (or marginal) and degraded your transmitted signal back toward the tower. Anyone have any luck in penetrating T-Mobile management to ease off the draconian throttle limits? I could make do with 3Mb, but 300kb is really untenable. Why is it that T-Mobile is imposing such heavy restrictions on upstream data? It's really annoying and will only take away their business as more people opt out and cancel. I can stream movies but have great difficulties in video conferencing, uploading any files, and my cell phone drops calls when it tries to use VOIP after starting a conversation, in which case I must take my phone off WiFi when trying to use it to talk. However the business decision to throttle the upstream traffic is a killer. The 40Mb numbers are clearly good for this. The services are limited to the 4G -LTE infrastructure with 5G radios. My connection tower is ~2km with direct line of site. I live in a remote with limited options (Starlink or Hughes) and don't like those. This comes with the added words of sorry, you can cancel anytime. Tech support has run its full cycle to fall back on their standard words of 'results vary'. Occasionally the upstream rate will jump into the 10s Mb for a few seconds before their system clamps is back to 100s kb. Starting ~6mos ago the upstream rate dropped to ~300 kb. That was ok service especially for cell based home use. After installing a 4x4 MiMo antenna the first 6 months of use I enjoyed ~40/40 Mb (down/up) with some reasonable variability. T-Mobile is actively destroying its 5G Home Internet reputation by throttling upstream rates.
