T-mobile has a $200 welcome bonus on a pre-paid Visa to try out their 5G home internet. It's $20/mo less than I'm paying with Xfinity. Using a shopping portal, I got 6500 AA miles to make the purchase online, though for people who don't value AA miles I see Capital One has $110 cash back for their portal.
Using my 5G phone and various speed tests it looks like the service is pretty strong at my house. Now that it's just me and my wife we don't use much data anyway, so the 150-ish speeds are more than enough. Nobody is playing games that require an ultra low ping, no more than one streaming service going at a time, etc.
I've used Comcast/Xfinity for something like 15 years now, but recently they've been dropping my connection frequently and can't seem to be bothered to sort it out despite tearing up my yard and the neighbor's yard so it seemed like a good time to see what else was out there.
