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

My guess is you have some old wireless g devices on the same WAP your phone was connected to. That can slow down the wireless connection.
