Is it worth switching from Orange 1 Gb/s to T-Mobile 900 Mb/s fiber to save about PLN 550, and should I pay for the premium modem?

If Orange already works well for you, many users say not to change just for the discount, because T-Mobile may be better in some routes but can also bring its own issues depending on the line and routing [#19266551] Wired speeds are generally reported as close to the offer, with users seeing about 270–298 Mb/s on 300 Mb/s, and around 860 Mb/s or more on 900/300 [#19271656][#19474091][#20666392] The standard modem has weak Wi‑Fi range, so for higher speeds or a larger flat/house the premium modem is the safer choice, and some people even got it by complaint without paying extra [#19271656][#19271712] Be aware that T-Mobile often gives a private IP, which means closed NAT; a public IP may be possible after a complaint and can matter for consoles and some gaming [#19474091][#19474095][#20601819] Routing is generally described as good in Poland and often abroad, but there were also reports of bad links via Level3/Deutsche Telekom/Vienna causing high latency and packet loss to some western servers [#19268368][#19461527]

    Badly wired, poor quality, damaged etc wires from router to host. Possibly dirty, bent, stressed contacts in the NIC. Alternatively, the NIC in the router or host is failing. All symptoms indicate that the link is not setting up at 1000Mbps but at 100Mbps.

    I've been bothering them for over a year to fix it for me, and they say everything is fine. No technician has been sent to check, and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas perhaps?
    I don't know, maybe write a telecom complaint?

    For me, T-Mobile is the worst company when it comes to internet. Since November, that is since signing the contract, problems with the internet. Several times during the day no internet access. After a phone call to the helpline, of course the problem is not with them, but with me. Do a pin test or disconnect all devices and the internet comes back. How many times in a day can you do this? No interest to resolve the problem.
    I definitely do not recommend this company if you want stress free internet.

    In most cases Tmobile does not own the fibre, at my place after the Inea network I have Tmobile already 3 years and there was no net in total with 2 times at night some technical work and yes it works.

    I unfortunately experience the lack of internet every day
    I call almost every day and they ask to do a pin test 🙈
    I regret very much that I signed a contract with them.

    Every day it is possible to call the family.
    Complain in writing, point out the problem there, demand compensation and redress, terminate the contract due to the operator and go to another.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
The discussion compares T-Mobile optical fiber with Orange fiber in terms of price, routing quality, Wi‑Fi coverage, router options, and gaming performance. Early opinions suggest T-Mobile may have better routing than Orange, but also note possible instability, high latency, packet loss, and issues on routes via Level3/Deutsche Telekom and Cogent, especially to servers in Europe. Several users report that the 900/300 Mbps service can achieve near-declared speeds over LAN and often good results on Wi‑Fi, but coverage depends heavily on the supplied router; the Premium modem/router is repeatedly recommended over the Standard one due to stronger antennas and better range. Another recurring issue is closed NAT caused by a private IP, which affects consoles and gaming; complaints sometimes lead to receiving a public IP. Later posts describe mixed real-world experiences: some users report stable 300/300 or 900/300 service with good Wi‑Fi and acceptable pings, while others complain about poor support, frequent outages, and speeds dropping after plan changes. Overall, the thread weighs whether the savings versus Orange justify switching, with the main concerns being routing quality, router performance, NAT/public IP, and service stability.

FAQ LABEL_AI_GENERATED

TL;DR: Users see up to 900 Mb/s wired and 860 Mb/s Wi-Fi, yet some report 90 Mb/s after upgrades; “T-Mobile has better routing in Poland” [Elektroda, floriders300, post #19266551] Pricing is ~PLN 550 cheaper than Orange for 24 months. Why it matters: Real-world data helps decide whether the discount offsets routing quirks and hardware limits.

Quick Facts

• Promo price: PLN 0 until 31 Dec 2021, then PLN 70–90 / mo depending on region [Elektroda, owsiaklg, post #19260029] • Peak LAN speed on 900/300 plan: 930–950 Mb/s down, 310 Mb/s up [Elektroda, bbartek93, post #19461527] • Typical Wi-Fi speed with Premium router: 450–500 Mb/s one room away [Elektroda, owsiaklg, post #19474091] • Ping to Frankfurt: 18–25 ms; Warsaw 25–30 ms [Elektroda, D3X7R0U5, post #20666392] • Private CG-NAT IP is default; one-time public IP possible via complaint, free so far [Elektroda, bbartek93, post #19474095]

Can I swap the Standard router for Premium at no cost?

Yes. File a service complaint citing Wi-Fi instability; Support has exchanged units without fees [Elektroda, bbartek93, post #19271712]

3-Step: How to request a free Premium router?

  1. Run speed or coverage tests and save screenshots.
  2. Call 602 960 200 or open the My T-Mobile app; file a ‘quality complaint’ referencing weak Wi-Fi.
