You can get a signal booster from T-Mobile for free as well. There can be some issues with delayed text messages on the WiFi calling, and if you're not in an LTE area you'll drop the call when you leave the WiFi coverage (provided your phone has VoTLE capabilities.)

Simply stated, the T&Cs for Family, Individual and Mobile Internet are different. Only Family mentions 5GB hard cap on Tethering. So, the absence of same in Individual would imply that there's no hard cap. Hence, my long painful chat with T-Mo.

I'm using connection to a WiFi Router (the one T-Mo provides you for $10 or $15) as interchangeable with AT&T's Femto. Point being that, since coverage for both AT&T and T-Mo stinks in my area, I'd be relying on some device (AT&T Femto or T-Mo Wifi Router) to get coverage.
