But if I follow you right, if the T-Mobile Home service is equivalent and cheaper to my existing Spectrum at home, this could be a no lose proposition for us?

Yes win win cheaper at home and I spoke to t Mobile ANYWHERE 4g or 5g their $50 month works and you get a free router and free hdmi plug in for any tv

Exactly right. But like others mentioned, you loose internet at home when you take it on the road with you.

Which means any internet smart based home devices or security purchased to monitor or protect the home while traveling would be totally worthless.
What is more important to you? Think about it before acting

We have unlimited Verizon plans on our two phones. Both are the Play More plans, but I'm going to switch to the Do More plan which gets you 50% off monthly plans. Basic plan is $20, so for $10 a month, I get a sim card for my Winegard and have WiFi all of the time (that I have a cell signal, of course!)

Verizon also has home internet service which is 5g or 4glte. TMobile isn’t the only ones offering that type service.
