Question about Verizon Internet.
Does anyone have Verizon Internet? I got an offer for Verizon Internet for a locked price of $55/mo, priced locked for 4 years. Down load speeds of Up To 25 Mbps for 1st 200 GB, and the Up To 10 Mbps for the balance of the billing month. Unlimited data = After 200 GB, customer will receive lowered speeds for remainder of billing month. Package also includes a router & whole house Wi-Fi.
Do the speeds sound reasonable? I only use the internet for browsing sites, like TSL. I will sometimes up load or down load family pictures, or attach pictures to a TSL post. I do no gaming or work. Also, I currently only have 1 TV attached to my Comcast Cable.

unlimited monthly data I had some outage problems a couple months ago that appeared related the cell tower but that has been resolved. I have 1 GB high stream available at the road but the Verizon Fios is working fine and we have a lot camera and other devices running. Your 25 MB seems a little slow it will handled streaming TV mostly ok but I would watch out for to many devices connected and the 200 GB cap is generous but why is there a cap at all. I would ask for better deal.

But all of the 5G cell phone carriers offer internet...even the discount carriers.

I work from home and am on the interwebs 6-8 hours a day, my wife is streaming stuff to her phone or TV constantly, and we watch movies and shows on streaming platforms an hour or two each day. Got it for $25 a month when they launched it and still paying the same.

no contract either but just signed up for that(I had an initial deal with them for like 110 but never got around to changing it and was paying for their top of the line internet at $148 level which was like 1.2 gigs super fast, wayyy more than i needed but was looking at my expenses and was like I can do better). I can only choose them or glo fiber in my hood but glo was doing better deals so comcast came down and honeslty its very reliable.

This guy reviews the base plans from all 5G providers.

10Mbps is barely acceptable for any streaming service (or may not be for some at this point) and you will hit 200GB most every month. (Yes I see you don't have TV listed in your uses, but wasn't sure what you are doing with the TV in the next 4 years)
Do you have any fiber services in your area? I would look at that first before locking in for a long period. Data creep will cause those things you do to start pushing your limit totals well before your term is up and you'll notice a difference.

This video says T-Mobile speeds generally range between 150 and 500 MBPS.
25 MBPS is slow compared to the competition.
I've been looking at T-Mobile's 5G internet as a replacement for my Cox cable internet...

minimum. Under the assumption that your speeds will be halved most of the time due to network traffic and them never living up to their posted maximums.
We stream TV and game as well with a 500 mb/s connection with spectrum. No lag issues but I think you'd need at least 200 Mb/s to make it even feasible.
