T-Mobile optical fiber - opinions

Question

Hello. I have a question for users about the Internet with TM, I currently have Orange 1 Gb / s modem funbox 3.0 and I am very happy, but Orange does not give discounts like TM (for free until the end of 2021) I have a contract until June, signing a new one for 900 Mb / s Can I save PLN 550 only...

@siaklg You can file a complaint with the standard router that there are problems with it and they can exchange it for a premium one without any additional payment. Someone has done that before. Because there is no need to pay extra for this premium, because we do not own it anyway, then you can buy your router for this money. If they give for free and no one needs access to the panel, such a trick can be made through a complaint. Even if it does not disconnect the WiFi, you can write it anyway in the complaint, after all, they will not check it for you anyway, and then they give you a premium router for free with better antennas.

I do not know how these tests, what you wanted, give such results after LAN up to 1Gb / s at a speed of 900Mb / s ;)

Problems with Level3 still unrepaired, unfortunately for half a year.

Here are some more tests on speedtest.net:

So that it is not too colorful, the contact with Cogent lies for 3/4 of a day and there are such speeds through it:

You have closed NAT because you have private IP. Complaints can be handled by a public IP. They do not have a public IP for sale yet, but many people have received such IP after complaints, including me.

There are voices that T-Mobile Optical Fiber has better routing than Orange Optical Fiber

In general, if you do not have problems with Orange, does it make sense to change something that works? It may turn out that there will be some problems in T-Mobile (connection lease from Orange)

bbartek93 · Answer

T-Mobile has better routing in Poland, it also has good routes abroad, but recently there have been problems with Level3 -> Deutsche Telekom, the German T-Mobile is too weak for packets entering the T-Mobile network, and some servers returns the route to T-mobile via Level3 and therefore high latency and packet loss occur there.
Sample test for PUBG Mobile server:

And when it's ok, the ping is as follows:

And here is the cause of the problem, the contact between the German T-Mobile and Level3 in Vienna:

$traceroute -4 -w2 46.205.193.47

In addition, T-Mobile will soon start providing public IP as an additional paid option. I have already received such an IP as a pilot.

Hello. I put my mother on 300 Mb / s Internet, I will say yes, the cable is going well 270-298 all the time, problems start on wifi on the lap in the other room, poor coverage of 2 lines and max 120-140 very weak their standard modem, in the kitchen 70-80 one line, an apartment of 70 sq m, so at higher speeds, take only the premium one

Domin922 · Answer

Currently, the quality of the T-Mobile network on optical fiber looks like this: a word: bad.

didotom · Answer

Does any of you have such a 900Mbps link and could show what the result and ms will be, for example on the website www.speedomat.pl or fasttester.com? I am thinking about changing the operator, but when I read the reviews, I have doubts. Is it really possible to reach the declared speed for half the time, I know that these are speeds up to, but how such fast links work in everyday work.

owsiaklg · Answer

and wifi how's it going? I'm on notice with Orange and I also take 900, but I hesitate a bit. How are files downloaded, e.g. from Oxycloud, going full steam? how do the games download? Maybe you know something about it. Thanks Of course, we are talking about the Premium modem because I had a failure with my parents, but I advertised and they exchanged it for premium and it is much better

bbartek93 · Answer

I do not know how it goes with this website because I do not have an account there. With Steam it goes differently, with Origina it usually goes full speed. Also usually full of battle.net.

You can see if you have Plus available on Orange cables, it will be better for games, because Netia has routing.

I will not say anything about the router, because I have the Standard taken, which I put in the closet straight away and use my own.

owsiaklg · Answer

Today they set up a TM net for me, so far ok, I have done some tests and it's okay after 860 Mb / s on wi fi about 500 everything flashes as it should, except for the console on which I have NAT closed, I called TM and they said that it must stay like this, why? , the download speed has also dropped max 350 I do not know if it is related to closed NAT or servers at the moment, but in Orange it was much faster with open, the type said something about external ip but there is no paid service yet, as someone knows how dispel please for info

owsiaklg · Answer

Thanks for the info I'll be calling tomorrow

karambol123 · Answer

I have a few questions about T-Mobile fiber optic 900/300 offer.

1. How is the Sagemcom Premium 2.0 router made? The range at home is above all and does it have WiFi 6? (Because I have it for PLN 0 in the offer)

2. Which means that IP is private or public and how it affects everyday functioning

3. What do Pings look like in CS GO / LOL / APEX Legends / Valorant games

4. Is it worth saving PLN 500 over 2 years or choosing Orange 1Gbps with FunBox6?

Martinoss · Answer

Good morning,

someone will share the experience of the functioning of fiber optics in T-mobile in 2023?
I ask because in previous years there were different opinions and as I read there were some changes in recent months.

dpt105 · Answer

Hello, I raise a question.

Martinoss · Answer

I have from 2 mths.
So symmetrical on INEA cables. Mine is 300/300.
Everything works OK. Once there was a failure all day long on the side of INEA - workers damaged the cable a few streets from me.
In practice, only private IP.
PING normal - although it doesn't matter to me.
Speeds 90% over 300/300.
Router no problems. WiFi coverage in a 2-story house without reservations.

dpt105 · Answer

It's more about these problems with contacts near Vienna, or the delay compared to servers in the west is still high

Martinoss · Answer

Have a look here:

dpt105 · Answer

Unfortunately, the discussion under the link does not show anything, just a casual chat, and here it is about whether T-Mobile has repaired the contacts that connect with servers in Europe, e.g. Frankfurt

D3X7R0U5 · Answer

I raise again. I have a choice of T-Mobile, Orange, Play. The light from Orange is asymmetrical. The best offer is from T-Mobile. Can anyone tell me how it works now?

78db78 · Answer

I have T-mobile for 3 months, 300/300 works fine but this router has a poor range compared to the old Livebox from orange where it covered my whole yard.

D3X7R0U5 · Answer

From today I have 900/300 T-Mobile, and so far very good. I can't complain about the WiFi coverage on the router, it beats 2 floors for me (maybe they changed the Homebox). Lipa only that they do not give any access to the router. Pings are so-so, in games I have, interestingly, a lower ping on Frankfurt than on servers in Warsaw. For example, in Valorant, a friend on Orange has the same location 15/20, with me 25/30. On Frankfurt 10 lower. For now, I think I recommend it, we'll see how stable it is, and whether it will stick to 900/300, for now it even beats 1000 Mb / s (also on WiFi).

trivial1 · Answer

@D3X7R0U5Access to the router is simple, but it is there. Through the my T-Mobile application, you can change the Wi-Fi password and SSID and separate the bands. You can also change the router addressing and DHCP.For me, it keeps 900/300 all the time (I have a speed test every 2 hours in docker), sometimes there were small drops and problems, but it's ok.

Pilot_Pirx · Answer

Gentlemen, what is the issue of getting only ONT from TM without their router and hooking up the entire network on your equipment? I have to decide this week what to hook up in the apartment. I have TM, Orange, and Play options. About Orange, I know that I can get ONT without any major problems. But I don't know about the others.

IC_Current · Answer

Apparently you can - that's what users wrote in other topics. But what is it supposed to give you and why do you need other equipment if you don't have a public IP in TM?

Pilot_Pirx · Answer

I don't know what their router does. I would like to have separate VLANs and control over what is happening on which network. In addition, I would probably have to connect a switch anyway because I have some twisted pair cables routed around the apartment.

trivial1 · Answer

This is the simplest router with a built-in 4-port switch, no VLAN. The only pluses is that it has very good Wi-Fi. Even Ubiquity u6 pro fell. My old mate 20 pro on their 100MB/s router sucks from NAS via FTP. On Unifi from 70 to 90MB

boruwadinho10 · Answer

I will say yes I do not recommend it for the reason that until I changed the speed from 300 to 600 in the new contract I had 300mb but after I increased the speed to 600 in the contract I have a net of 90mb and I have been struggling with them for more than a year to fix it and they that everything is fine no technician was sent to check and I do not know what to do now do anyone have any ideas?

trivial1 · Answer

And maybe more info ? What do you check with ? Laptop, phone ? Is it over cable or wi-fi ?
