T-Mobile has just earned the title of the fastest and largest 5G network in the country.
This recognition comes from Opensignal, who was able to collect independent data using real-world customer usage tools. According to their study, T-Mobile customers are able to get the fastest 5G download and upload speeds in the country. These customers are also able to get a 5G signal more often compared to everyone else.
Another research firm, umlaut (formerly P3), was able to derive the same findings. The study gathered data from users in Houston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City. According to their findings, T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G network clocked in at 218 Mbps in these four cities. In Washington, D.C., the speed even reached 315 Mbps.
Neville Ray, T-Mobile’s President of Technology, responded to the recognition with this statement:
“From the word ‘go’, we’ve been the leader in 5G coverage, and now we’re piling on the speed with Ultra Capacity 5G --- first in 5G coverage, now first in 5G speed. Last year we blanketed the country in 5G, and now we’re layering on the capacity and speed. We closed out 2020 with over 100 million people covered with our Ultra Capacity 5G and we will extend this deployment nationwide by the end of 2021. THIS is how you build the best 5G network in the country, and we are just getting started.”
