Morning, dale and Pepper 
might you have used your available high speed data for the hot spot from your phone already?This doesn't make any sense. My phone is showing 4 or 5 bars of 5g reception. However, using it as a mobile hotspot doesn't relate to a high-speed or faster than i'm getting connection to the internet? I checked with speedtest.net and i'm getting a connection speed of about .50 mbps download speed. The phone is rather quick, but that doesn't relate to a quick speed for the computer. Am I doing something wrong or is there something i can do to speed it up?

Good morning glare
How do you connect the phone to the computer? IOW, check the connection between your phone and your computer first.This doesn't make any sense. My phone is showing 4 or 5 bars of 5g reception.

I assume you're using it via WiFi
Also, run the speed test on the phone to some city near you. What speed is the phone getting?
Which tells you that it's the computer-to-phone point that is the problem, not the phone-to-world point.I guess i'm connecting thru wifi. idk i look for it in the list on my computer and connect to it. I did a speedtest and I am getting 24.5 download and 6.05 upload on the phone.
I also checked my computer speed and i'm getting .35 mbps download and .60 upload. funny u normally don't get a high upload than download, hmmm.
might also be a t-mobile problem. plenty of complaints out there over the years that hot spot speeds on their phones are dismal.Which tells you that it's the computer-to-phone point that is the problem, not the phone-to-world point.
