Rated = Actual (may vary)
20GB = 14GB
10GB = 7GB
2.5GB = 1.3GB
1.2GB = 700MB
1.0 GB = 600MB
100MB = 60MB
10MB = 6MB

Now I since 2021 I get 1.2GB down and 50MB up when I test system 600/700MB down and 40/50 up but this varies as well on I know they have come out and updated the box outside when that day was here I got 700MB since then max is 500MB to 600MB..Again it varies day to day or minute by minute. Changing DNS settings in the router and set all NIC on all PCs to Auto DHCP/ Auto DNS has improved on devices that kept getting weird connects with YouTube.

I did one thing this month was to set the bandwidth from ISP from 1200MB to Unlimited because I upload 1080p to 4K Videos videos a lot to YouTube for my 6 YT Channels based TECH, SOLAR, MUSIC (Artist), ASMR (2) *Sleep/Relax, COACH (Life, Dating, Relationships). I've been busy but I had max out on my 1200MB one month they gave me that one for free but after that it would cost me like $40 and up a month extra. I had to work out a deal with them.
 
AT&T is offering 5 gig right now around me. I am 25 miles from the center of Austin Texas. My problem is AT&T fiber is about a mile from my house.

5 gigabit available in San Diego in limited areas...

Best that ATT can do for me is Internet 100 (DSL) for $55/month - not a lot of investment in the outside plant in our area, and the closest central office is 5 miles away in La Mesa, CA

CoxHSI offers gigablast @ $70/month for 1000 down/10 up (yes, 10 up) - used to be $100/month until TMHI entered the market

T-Mobile Home Internet (5G fixed wireless access) is $50 monthly... they're not bad, but certain limitations apply (no port forwarding, IPv6 first which is good, but IPv4 goes through 464XLAT, which can seriously impact IPv4 services and performance of those (for example, some VPN's that are IPv4 only)

Easy solution is use a VPN to get out.

TMHI (CGNAT v4) <> Gateway 192.168.12.x <> router 192.168.0.x <> Nord 10.5.0.x

No routing issues and the highest I've clocked for speeds are 400/100. Average during the day though is 200-250/80

It did spazz out the other night though and dropped to 50/50 for some reason. I think it was because it switched from N41 >> N71 for some reason. N71 should be just as fast though even at 600mhz the bandwidth is there. This gateway though is a bit odd in some ways though compared to a hot spot in a traditional sense.

Hopefully things will get unlocked and more tunable on the LAN side at least as it matures.

Like I mentioned - it's not CGNAT, it's 464XLAT, so depending on where/when one is at inside TMo's network, there's a limit on the number of connections at the PLAT side for IPv4.

So IPv4 there goes like this...

Local host <-> Gateway <-> CLAT IPv4 into IPv6 packets <-> PLAT to unpack back to IPv4 <-> internet <-> remote host

Good read below, along with a youtube clip that goes into more detail - the gist is that TMobile's wireless network is IPv6 first, IPv6 native, and IPv4, their best option was 464XLAT.


In my case, it was self-hosting with Wireguard to a 1GB symmetric business fiber connection. Remote host is an HP DL380 G10, and my end is a Dell Precision 5550 laptop running ubuntu 20.04 - on CoxHSI, we see around 200 MBit on either IPv4 or IPv6, on T-Mobile Home Internet, 200Mbit w/IPv6, 5Mbit with IPv4...

Repeatable - fix was just using IPv6 for that connection - case closed, move on to other things...

FWIW - most folks that are not as well informed also assume that TMHI is cgnat, it's not...

I stand corrected then.

Well, 172.58.99.114 is the exposed IP I get when tracing back to me.

Blocking at the TM backhaul provider

It certainly isn't pretty looking at 5 hops to get to something that's not the same IP / node in appearance.
 
@tipstir

You should yield closer to 90-95% of your ISP speed not 60%. It also sounds like Cable not Fiber when mentioning the UL speeds.
I am not Fiber Optical I use to be Support Tech Online Via Phone. I just comparing what I getting now. But LAN, WAN hard wire those are what's your suppose to get. Fiber Optical System ONT box fuse or BBU (backup battery unit) are most common problems with them. AT&T Fiber Optical System came out first wasn't a true FO now it's suppose to be. I know they have be laying down fiber lines here where I live.

CoxHSI really 70 month Comcast gives me the 1200 down / 50 up $70 lock price for 2 years. I not impress with it AT&T Fiber Optical 1000 down and 1000 up would cost me $80 a month but there is a cost with that not cheap. Unless I decided to get their TV bundle package I am not interested that that.
