T-Mobile said the device is also ideal for businesses and allows up to 16 simultaneous phone calls. If your home Internet is fast enough, T-Mobile says the CellSpot can support speeds of 60Mbps downstream and 20Mbps upstream. Customers set it up by connecting an Ethernet cable from the CellSpot to " any available Ethernet port on your router or router/modem combo unit." To use it, customers should have Internet speed of at least 2Mbps downstream and 512kbps upstream. The new 4G LTE CellSpot is free to Simple Choice PostPaid customers (with a $25 refundable deposit). T-Mobile has distributed more than 1 million of them to customers. The previous one acted more like a regular Wi-Fi router, letting users specify a password.
