I used their 5G home internet for about 6 months and it was just total dog shit compared to using easy tether with a T-Mobile cell phone. When the network gets congested, the mobile devices have priority for data. I think. When you use easy tether they have no idea that you are tethering your phone to a computer or router and never throttle your data. When you use 5G home internet, they throttle you.
Yes, home internet has the lowest priority on the network. It's very location dependent on whether it's going to work well or not. I believe they give you a 15-day trial or something like that.
I would advise everybody considering it to simply use easytether with their phone. I pay 50 bucks a month for my plan and I've burned upwards of 3 TB of 5G data in a month.
I would caution you to be careful as they might just label you a high data user and cut off your access.
It's been about a decade since before I even got 5G. I don't think they give a crap. I'm on an old grandfathered business plan, but I've done the same thing for other people with just their cheapest unlimited data options.
