A lot of times terms of service are used as a buffer so the company can’t be sued. The device is meant to work at home. If you travel and experience no service then you can’t come back on them and say you have no service.

I don't believe the primary reason for tying service to an address is to insure good service for everyone who opts for T-Mobile Home Internet. A more believable story is told by the financial and business press. T-Mobile has spent billions on rolling out 5G with the eye on premium priced cell phone service but the uptake has been slow in that market. They can sell "excess capacity" on their 5G network at zero marginal cost. However, this works only if they don't cannibalize (or degrade) their premium priced product. Bottom line, cheap 5G home internet is not a business they really want, enjoy it while it lasts, T-Mobile may drop you or raise the price regardless of whether you break the TOS.

I see a huge CLASS ACTION ..…...if they try to implement that to people like me that disabled and live in the van that would be a big deal to them

Sooooo, I have two towers within a couple of miles of my home. Without a external antenna, maybe 20MBps. Got a 4x4 MIMO antenna, hacked the box, and it got about 200MBps. Meanwhile, my cell was only about 40MBps. Took it on the road. Not usable at all. Not because of signal, plenty of that. Both times, in two different regions, I had to use my hotspot off my cell to get decent speeds. Needless to say, canceled the service.

Have tower and get 2or3 bars, is this a strong enough signal?? I returned it, maybe
