![]() ![]() I asked about the metro unit because we have metro for phone service and having one of those might help with the data limits. so if i do not get data limits that may be the best choice as if i did go with comcast business for 40$ you know in a year they will jack it up and t mo claims they do not jack up the price over the years. they did not talk much about data limits. When i had it 3 years ago i did not use it that much for tv as i was trying to get the cameras thru the box and on the t mo forum all the talk was about people having issues doing the same thing. if they allow port forwarding then i can use the ota for tv and also the roku box for other channels but what i do not need is to get throttled back every month if i was to get some data cap from the t mo internet. So that is why i asked here to see how the metro or t mo internet is advancing now. I do not want to pay 60$ for internet and 65$ for you tube as i can do that all now for 100$ with the cable box and roku. i did find out i may be able to get comcast business for like 40$ per month without tv for 12 months so if i go that route i have antennas and get like 40 channels ota. i do have a roku box and we watch a lot of tv on it but to get internet cheaper i had to get the cable box on a plan. We do comcast because that is wall we get here. ![]() so that i why i asked to see if they now do port forwarding? i had the t mo 5g trashcan like 3 years or so ago and it did not allow cameras outside the home. plus if there is any data caps and if so what those might be? and maybe now if they can port there cameras thru the modem yet. Maybe some others will stop by and say what they get and if it is worth it. i know phones take priority but this modem does us a phone line so like i said i do not want to drop them for t mo or metro and then find out they throttle me back to 25 mbps during the day and then when i'm sleeping allow me unlimited speed. we have 10 channels thru comcast now and 50 mbps speed and we pay 100$ for that. i do not know how much data i now use thru comcast, but i guess i can go to my account a find out. The only thing will be if they limit data at the end of the month. i have my cameras set up for them now so i can see them thru the netgear router/modem. I was hoping by now the t mo and or metro would have updated the firmware to allow porting thru them. and they did not have those trashcans at the time. i had to go to the corner t mo store and they helped me stop the billing. at that time t mo was 60$ auto pay and when i returned it i had a hell of a time getting them to stop billing me. and that was a big topic on the t mo forums. it got my cameras thru to my home but not when i was away from the home. Ok i forgot that when i had the t mo trashcan about 3 years ago or so i had to connect the router to the t mo modem and that got me thru to the internet with the phones. Will they allow internet streaming boxes to connect to them?Īnd do they have unlimited data? being we use pc's and the roku box and phones. Will they let our phones use wifi for calling in the home like the comcast modems do? So what is the price now for internet with metro? back 3 years ago the t mo modems took a back seat to phone for using the towers but for me i seemed to always get between 70 and 200 mbps during the day and night with 4pm to about 7pm being the slowest speed times but still plenty fast as i get 50 mbps on comcast. and i never did find out if they allowed wifi calling when we are home like the comcast modem does, because i had that modem running i never tried to see if the phones worked thru it.Īnd if i could connect my tv to it? on comcast i get 10 channels so i have ota signals but we do use the roku box so that has to work on the metro modem.Īlso because we are retired i wonder if they have plans for retired folks? or even for retired army folks being im retired from the guards after 22 years with them. ![]() also what is the price for these now? back then they were 60$ per month. We have metro pcs phones and i wonder if we can hook up one of those internet modems onto our account. but i have heard they now have a different unit that is better. i live close th there 5g towers and according to the t mo website they show me in the 5g tower shadow.Īnyway one reason i did not keep it was i could not port my cameras thru that modem, so did they ever get that resolved? i understand they have 2 types of modems for the internet one the t mo forum called a trashcan being it looked like a small can. Does metro pcs have the ability now to do internet like t mo has? if so how does that work compared to t mo? i had a t mo trashcan about 3 years ago to test and it seemed to be a good unit. ![]()
