At the time, the Uncarrier was promising a 20% boost on download speeds over its existing LTE coverage, which is roughly what we saw when testing T-Mobile 5G with a OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren. When T-Mobile turned on its nationwide network in 2019, we had a chance to test the service in Maui. After the first three months of this year, T-Mobile said its Ultra Capacity 5G coverage reached 125 million people, with plans to go nationwide by the time 2021 draws to a close. By the end of September 2020, T-Mobile said this Ultra Capacity 5G coverage was live in 210 cities and towns, giving them a 7.5x improvement over LTE speeds on average. That means New York City is now served by all types of 5G through T-Mobile.Īfter those first two cities, T-Mobile added mid-band 5G coverage in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. The New York expansion is particularly significant because that city was already served by T-Mobile's low-band and millimeter wave-based service. by checking out the carrier’s 5G coverage map (opens in new tab).Īround a year ago, T-Mobile added Sprint's mid-band spectrum to its 5G service in Philadelphia and New York, broadening coverage depth while also boosting speed in those two cities. You can see if T-Mobile 5G extends to your part of the U.S.

That makes T-Mobile’s 5G network the largest, as Verizon says its nationwide coverage reaches 230 million people.

These days, T-Mobile says its 5G signal reaches more than 8,300 cities and towns, covering 287million people. T-Mobile’s 5G coverage has only expanded since then, thanks in no small part to to its Sprint acquisition.
