We pay for up to 500 Mbps and it’s $104 a month. T-mobile home internet is $50 and typical download speeds are between 72 – 245 Mbps, according to their website

I figured there was no point in switching but ran a speed test (first time, never done that before) through the app and these were the results.

This is bad, right? Like, it seems to me like I’m wasting my money? I need a TDLR for internet speeds and stuff cause honestly I don’t understand much of this

I would run a few speedtests from a few different devices ookla and the like to get a better picture of if ypu are actually using the faster speeds.

T-mobiles home internet is likely over gsm. I have herd good things about that but I would look at your current provider to see if they have cheeper plans. Before making the switch to t-mobile.

However as much as the other person was downvoted. I would doubt that you would notice much of a difference having a 100mbps internet package with your usage. That $50/ month is pritty significant.
