How's your cell service?

I've got T-mobile Home Internet. I work from home and we stream Prime, Hulu and Netflix.

Take a smart phone and go to speedtest or get the speedtest app and run a test (probably 3-5) and maybe in multiple areas of your home like North, South, East, and West corners). If your provider sucks, invite friends over that have the other 2 providers (T-mobile, Verizon, ATT). Have everyone test. Whoever has the best service (or cheapest if more than one is good) then get the cell home internet.

There are a couple of wonky results in here, but when they are outliers. I used to get better upload speeds, but have moved my device. I'm going to try re-orienting my device to improve those, but it hasn't been much of an issue. Like I said, I work from home, and I'm in IT. My performance is 99% as good here as it was when I was in town with a wired connection, but it will depend upon service near you.
