TMobile gateway internet

Would I be able to use my internet service from T-Mobile. It operates off a cell tower and doesn't use my home address

Sure - any acceptable broadband/cell service works. I use my cell service as a hotspot when I travel all the time.

I want to confirm you can use your cellular data to watch and enjoy our DIRECTV STREAM service without problem, everywhere you go and no inconveniences must be present.

@Tadams2250 Works terrific using my Verizon cell service or as a hotspot.

Just realize that you may quickly hit data caps and data speed throttling with many cellular internet plans. Streaming video consumes lots of data.

You are right, as long as we stay with a strong internet connection (Wi-Fi or Cellular Data), you will be able to stream for favorite programming on your devices.

I understand your point. Since we handle DIRECTV service only, in this order it would be necessary to reach your Internet provider to review the speed and confirm if there is something going on with the service.
