Believe me, I understand your feelings about Netflix, but you're looking at this the wrong way.

T-Mobile has already paid the subscription fee for all of it customers. Netflix gets nothing from you one way or the other, and you don't have a say in the matter. So, you can use their bandwidth, and though it's a drop in the ocean, your are using their resources.

As to content- did you know that right now on Netflix, you can watch Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now: Redux, Dirty Harry, The Guns of Navarone, The Professionals, The Long Riders, Taxi Driver, The Irishman, Wind River, Hell or High Water and more?

You can also go into their LGBTQIA+%&*#ZX-47 section and give a thumbs down to everything. Razz

As a customer, you can also email them. Imagine the possibilities. Wink


Great point. Also, Netfilx made a good move yesterday with the release to all their woke employees telling them to pound sand.

I’ve said it before: 5G is going to give the wire line Internet providers a big headache. And we will enjoy it.

Mint Mobile may be a good option for some of you. They use the T-Mobile network. Both of our kids use them and are very happy. Might want to check it out.

I swapped T-Mobile for Mint and have been very happy with my decision. Basically same T-Mobile cellular service for way less coin. I think I pay $180/year for my line.

So does Verizon and AT&T. Others might also.

T-Mobile Magenta MAX 55+ for two lines is pretty good savings over AT&T. Just need to be at least 55 years old. You can look up the details and see what you get, including free Netflix, Canada/Mexico calling etc, etc.

Yeah, that's what my wife and I got, the Magenta thingy. I will not miss Verizon, not one single bit.

You guys are lucky you have a choice!

Where I live Verizon is my only 'commercial' option for internet service. I am presently connected to wifi through a private service. I use the word "presently" loosely as the big wind storm we had a couple days ago blew down the tower I get my service from.

I use Verizon for my cell phone service so it looks like I may be signing up for their internet too.

I recently dumped my hardwired internet for Tmobile 5G service. $50 a month and plenty fast to stream 2 TVs and surf the web.

What kind of speeds are you getting with that? With Charter Spectrum, I'm getting 115 Mbps down and 11 Mbps up.

I have a good 5G signal at the house and get a minimum 125 down/ 50 up. It's highly variable due to traffic, I guess. I have seen as high as 200 down/ 100 up.
Signal strength is important. My phones are Tmobile so I was confident in signal strength.
