You'd be surprised about the performance, actually. In a place where cable
internet was available, and the cable company was just down the street, we were
still getting really shitty internet service with vastly different speeds
throughout the day and many periods of downtime. Technically, TMobile home
internet is not available in this place, but I ordered it to a place that is
and now I get a solid 50-75mbit all day long there. Now, it's the Tmo network
so it is NATed, no incoming connectiongs, and outgoing connections that are idl
longer than 5 minutes get killed. So if you want to do fun networking stuff on
it, you have to get creative with reverse proxies and have access to other
stuff out on the internet. But, if you just want to stream TV and check your
email and whatever out in some little town, it works fine. My "uncle-in-law"
(is that a thing?) had a bunch of issues with his DSL so I got him the TMo home
internet up there, too, where they keep teasing that it's "coming soon". He
loves it.

Oh yeah, I just use my normal dd-wrt'd router behind TMo's for some double
(triple?) NAT goodness. Works fine. It's just easier to manage devices with the
custom router.
The TMo one's wifi and everything is disabled.
