[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3941221, member: 3099"] Yes I could see how a sizable apartment complex connected up would affect it. Now that you mention it I have a complex to my north that could be grabbing the bandwidth from the tower closest to me. Hadn't thought of that. That tower is less than a mile as the crow flies from me. But I have a building and a highway overpass right smack in the way of it. It still connects and gets me decent speeds. It often bounces to another tower straight to my south that's over 2 miles away and I get about the same signal strength. I got 437mb down one night very late with only two bars on signal strength which is considered low strength. So you have to kinda ignore that meter. I've never got more than 3 bars and it's no faster when I do which isn't often. The little Nokia gateway they use is actually pretty good and when they say to try several different placements in your home they mean it. They are pretty sensitive. Even rotating it around on it's base can improve your signal enough to get you a substantial increase in speed. T-Mobile is definitely a legit internet option if you are located where it'll work for you. [/QUOTE]
