T-Mobile vs USMobile light speed?

Same low ping low jitter high stability?

USMobile says light speed is QCI7 what priority is T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan?

I tether my phone to my desktop to play online games. (MY ONLY OPTION I CAN'T GET REAL INTERNET WHERE I LIVE)

I'm currently on ATT and I get random disconnects mid game. I only disconnect in online games. It's never my internet dropping as the stream I'm watching won't buffer or anything it's just games for some reason

My brother has T-Mobile and when he is home I have him hotspot me. When I'm connected to his hotspot I never get disconnected in the same games that my ATT connection is disconnecting me in

With all that being said could I go with USMobile's light speed and get the same low ping the same low jitter and the same high stability as my brothers T-Mobile? Would deprioritization affect gaming and streams? I go through about 300gb a month if that matters. I need to be unthrottled uncapped too. I'm new to all of this and I just have to get off ATT asap I can't be disconnecting during online games and just unsure how good USMobile is compared to T-Mobile even though they use the same towers

Anyone who knows more please any information is welcome

Is USMobile for me?

I'm on ATT right now and about to finish my installment plan so I can unlock my phone and switch carrier

I need T-Mobile. When I online game on my desktop (tethered) ATT disconnects way too frequently for my liking. (Everything works fine like youtube/twitch except random disconnects while gaming) I always have to have my brother who has T-Mobile hotspot me and I have never disconnected in any game when he does. I assume T-Mobile where we live is more stable, lower ping and jitter than ATT which is a must for gaming

This being said is light speed going to be "as good" as T-Mobile? Is light speed going to give me the same stability low ping and jitter as T-Mobile? All I care about is gaming stability and not disconnecting (if my ATT wasn't disconnecting while gaming I wouldn't "need" to switch at all)

Also I need to be fully unthrottled with unlimited data. I watch streams all the time so I can't be throttled. IDK what premium priority data is but would that affect gaming and streaming? I just need whatever's best for me

I sometimes can use 100s of gbs a month idk if that matters

What is the best way to go about this?

Currently on ATT

I have installment balance of 500 remaining (financed s24u a while ago)

I want to switch to tmobile asap

ATT requires me to fully pay the remaining 500 before unlocking the phone

What options do I have other than just paying the remaining balance? I hear things like switch and we will pay up to X amount of your balance sort of things but I'm not familiar with them

Switching BACK to T-Mobile?

How would that work?

I had T-Mobile. I switched to att and canceled my contract on T-Mobile. Been with att for a few years now and want to go back to T-Mobile. T-Mobile didn't have the phone I wanted in stock for months and att did so I switched and now I would really like to go back.

My phone is a s24u att locked (will pay the balance and get it unlocked)

What should I know or do before I go about doing this?

They aren't going to give me some secret crappy service because I left them in the past are they?

My phone will run just fine on their service even though it's an att phone? I can get the T-Mobile apps somehow?

I get disconnects so often on att while gaming but my brothers T-Mobile hotspot I don't disconnect at all.

Any information and advice welcome
