> Is it me or they try real hard not to disclose the connection speed?

It's not possible to disclose precise information without knowing spectrum holdings/configuration, installed tower equipment, distance from tower, and the current network conditions. The only thing they could disclose are things like throttling video, and give an approximation of what a market might expect typical speeds to be around.

I'm a T-Mobile customer, at home I get about 75ish Mbps on my phone. If I go to the nearby city (about 15 miles away), there's one commercial spot that that I go to where it jumps higher.

This home internet thing is basically a hotspot for your home. As such, I would guess the answer is "it depends."

I would also not pay for this as I already have T-Mobile One w/ International Plus option (+$25/month) that gives unlimited hotspot. It actually was my home internet for almost a year, until Spectrum setup in the neighborhood (previous provider was trash. Capping at 10 Mbps, "peak hours" of 3pm-2am, etc.). But if I didn't have the previously mentioned option and Spectrum hadn't come in yet? Oh, for sure, would be all over it.

50 Mbps.

On the "Why we do it" page it says "Offered exclusively where we expect speeds of around 50 Mbps."

The terms also list the usual stuff that makes me shy away from using it. "During congestion, Home Internet customers may notice speeds lower than other customers due to data prioritization."

This is made for people living in rural areas where satellite is the biggest competitor.

It is not just you. Also, asking for contact information just to do a coverage check is very sketchy.

I did find this FAQ that discusses speed in very broad terms.

That's what I was digging for as well, as it's LTE based I can't imagine a consistent connection or a particularly fast connection.

I wasn’t able to find any indication of connection speed either
