It more than likely burned itself. The round cylindrical models were know for overheating. Look at it, almost no place for it to vent within itself. Plus the way you and the misses stream it is getting full usage The new one, vents top, bottom, and sides all the way around. Plus I think the black looks a lot nicer, it is smaller and has screen in the front to easily check statuses.

Mine is in my RV fully powered with no AC, I doubt if it hit 100 though, my guess is 85 - 90, but our days of 100 is coming. I can wait

Scuba…. We live primarily in Florida because of the weather but winter is fun too! We go back north in January and February to snowmobile!!!! MT has some very good snowmobiling!

But in a few years we will probably sell the snowmobiles once we feel like we don’t have the stamina for it any more.

I just got an email from T-Mobile for the $50 Debit Card for their Home Internet. They called me a bunch of times after I checked addresses and gave them my phone number. I just got back north so I’m going to order it for my mother’s address to give it a try in our coach. I’ll report back once I get it set up and can try it in a few places.

Great help for mom!
Yes montana is full.
We reversed our MT process.
Will do 1 to 2 months in the summer with family camping.
We ship items there since no tax
Yes montana has the best winter activities
Here in NM we are 1 to 2 hours from skiing snowboarding up north.
So BEST of both worlds.

T mobile may have enhanced our marriage since we had great signal traveling 7 months on the road!

Wife love youtube tv and UMLIMITED RECORDING AND DOWNLOADS TO ANY DEVICE

I thought I'd share my latest discovery with Verizon $50/mo home Internet service. I'm now on month 3 and so far I was billed $60/mo on my credit card. I called in the beginning and their rep said " it take 2 months before you get the "discount." Today I got an email from Verizon basically stating they have re-defined "Auto Pay" to mean only a checking acct. debit or Verizon Credit Card qualify for the $10 monthly discount. Another kinda sleeze advertising to almost tell the truth. As soon as T-Mobile is avail here I'll fire Verizon. It's a shame our companies won't just be honest.

How is it that T-Mobile can legitimately claim it covers 99% of Americans with LTE? That seems like a stretch, even considering they’ve done a great job of improving what was for many years some pretty awful coverage.

Update- I think I finally found the dead spot for T-Mobile… We are with friends at Fort Boonesborough State Park outside of Richmond, KY. No service for my silver cylinder 5G, while our friends are one spot over with the short black 5G with no signal as well. Their phones are also offline as they are on T-Mobile, but our phones/iPads have decent reception with AT&T. We can tether to our AT&T devices so we’re not missing much, except our doggy-cam is offline. I was considering changing all devices over to T-Mobile, but this has taught me that having two different providers can be advantageous.

95% of Americans is not 95% of the land we live on.

Come to the Pacific Northwest. T-mobile coverage is horrible. Ironically it is where they started.

I pay the same for Verizon with 2 phones and verizon home. Leaving Thursday for a 7 week trip to the south. Ill see how verizon home works If it sucks I might have to change over to t-mobile

At my house verizon home is bad, lte only no 5G here. I keep the device in the mh always on. even though its slow I can use my smart tvs and never have a problem streaming or buffering

Hopefully it work on this trip.

In Dallas area my experience with them has always been good. Of course I never had a Verizon mobile anything so I may be disqualified from opinion?

I remember when Verizon 1st came to our area and they practically gave us Fiber for free while they got it established. My perception of Verizon was very high quality product but kind of pricey? We had AT&T phones and back then it was not cheap to change over. It was very hard to get unlock phones on Verizon network and not one of those got a have a new phone every year guy. AT&T ( who I hate more than anything) finally pushed over the edge; about 11 years ago. We took two brand new AT&T phones we forced to buy / keep after a AT&T bait & switch ploy. We had T-Mobile help us to get them unlocked and the rest was history.

With that said, I am sure all of them are good at what they do, I ain't hatin on nobody but AT&T.

Did you call T Mobile and ask if they have service in the area? Maybe a tower went down, service repairs or something similar? I don't know flip about Kentucky other than I am told there are lots of horse there? Anyhoo I would think the size of Richmond and it's proximity to not only Lexington,KY, I-75 they would have service if all thing are normal?

Hey if you have the old gray tower you can replace free.
I told them a friend has the new one and they will ship new black tower in 3 days. T mobile claims no service at new address but all phones and t mobile home work great.
