The update may have affected around 34,000 subscribers.

Thousands of T-Mobile home internet users have reportedly had their
service stopped flat thanks to a software update that kills their
modem.

A firmware update sent to Sagemcom Fast 5688W modems used by T-Mobile
home internet users has crippled around 34,000 of the units by cutting
them off from the carrier's network, preventing them from being reset
on T-Mobile's side, according to The Mobile Report. Without a remote
fix, customers have needed to swap out their modems entirely for new
units.
