T-Mobile Internet Speed Test (2024)

FAQs

What should my T-Mobile Internet speed be? ›

T-Mobile 5G Home Internet customers receive consistent broadband speeds and see typical download speeds between 72 – 245 Mbps, which is great speed for streaming video, surfing the web, working from home and most types of online gaming. 25% of our customers see speeds below and 25% see speeds above this range.

A good internet speed is at least 25Mbps download and 3Mbps upload. These internet speeds are the bare minimum for a broadband connection as defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). But you'll get better results with an internet plan that supports download speeds between 40–100Mbps.

Your T-Mobile 5G Home Internet may be slow if the incoming internet signal isn't strong enough. You can see your gateway's signal strength using the meter on the gateway's LCD screen or within the T-Mobile Internet app. Good internet gateway placement is crucial with 5G internet services like T-Mobile's.

Download Speeds: Typically between 70 – 320 Mbps. Upload Speeds: Typically between 7 – 32 Mbps.

A slow internet connection may be due to a variety of reasons. It could be your inefficient router, internet service provider (ISP) bandwidth throttling, outdated devices, or even malware.

A good download speed is at least 100Mbps, and a good upload speed is at least 10 Mbps. With 100Mbps, you can stream movies, attend Zoom meetings, and play games online all on several devices at the same time. Some people can get away with fewer Mbps, and others need more.

Slow download speeds, in spite of a fast connection, could be related to an outdated router, distance of your devices to the router, ISP throttling, or the number of people or devices connected to your network. To test the latter, disconnect all other devices on your Wi-Fi and restart your downloads.

One generally accepted rule of thumb is that anything above 100 Mbps is considered “fast” internet because it can connect multiple devices at once.

What is normal internet speed? ›

Basic Service = 3 to 8 Mbps. Medium Service = 12 to 99 Mbps. Advanced Service = 100 Mbps. Mbps (Megabits per second) is the standard measure of broadband speed.

By most definitions, anything above 100 Mbps is considered “fast.” Once you reach 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) or above, the internet plan is called a “gigabit” service.

Network congestion and throttling are the most common reasons for internet slowdowns in the latter part of the day. There is an internet rush hour that usually runs from about 7-11 pm on weekdays. This can interfere with your use of the internet for streaming, movies, and more.

So your T-Mobile 5G Home Internet speeds likely fluctuate throughout the day due to network congestion and other factors. As for T-Mobile phone plans and hotspots, average speeds usually fall between 61 Mbps and 171 Mbps.

How fast is 5G? 5G can deliver speeds up to 20 Gbps in ideal conditions. That's nearly 200 times faster than the 4G network.

For most households with three or four people living together, a 300 Mbps internet download is enough for the various uses ranging from online gaming, streaming, and general browsing.

Choose T-Mobile Internet and log in. Under Connection status, the connection between the device on which you are using the app, the Wi-Fi gateway, and the Internet is displayed. Under Connection quality, the signal strength is displayed.
