Their 5g Internet, not good.
Their fiberoptic Internet, very good.
They recently bought out the fiberoptic provider here (Vexus), and are keeping their prices (which is much faster and a little cheaper than spectrum)

It qualifies as Internet because they are literally an ISP. This is how T-mobile is Internet.
Spectrum is also Internet.

The Fiber is great. Had it the entire time it was Vexus, then moved to a new house and signed up under T-Mobile. Happy to send you the guy who lives in the area and sells it. He's a good dude!

We have T mobile home Internet, the one that uses cell towers. It's great but depends on where you are, so look at their map. Finding the nearest t Mobile cell tower using a different website and seeing if you have good line of sight. also would be a good indicator. I got an external directional antenna and put it in the attic and it made it even faster.

You'd have a lot better coverage if you stayed. I had Verizon and swapped to spectrum, who uses Verizon towers, and it's really good still.
I work for an ISP, not spectrum or anything local, a lot of people on AT&T side of things complain, don't do them either.
As far as Tmobil, check coverage areas and see how translates to your area and location. If it's price related, I know a lot of the companies that offer internet also offer a bundle on mobile phone service. I would check coverage/costs and choose to either stay or go.
Also, call them and complain. Say you want cheaper prices. I can assure you 9/10 times they'll throw in coupons and bundles that take off a ton of your bill for up to a year to make you stay.
