T-Mobile hopes you’ll buy $30 “Home Internet Backup” for when cable goes out

Backup plan is $30 every month for service that's meant to be used infrequently.

I worked for a company that sold a lot of backup internet devices to businesses

Cool thing, when the cable or fiber goes out in an area, it tends to go out for a lot of people. All the cellular backups and hotspots try to go online at the same time blitzing the cell towers and providing horrible service and minimal bandwidth.
