As Unlimited Data Takes Center Stage, T-Mobile Widens Speed Gap Between the Network Built for Unlimited … and Everyone Else

T-Mobile’s advanced LTE network delivers
mind-numbing speeds on the latest superphones as new data shows the
Duopoly’s networks slowing – by up to 14%! – under strain of
Unlimited LTE
What’s next is here—and it’s freaky fast. Starting today,
T-Mobile customers with the latest smartphones can get up to DOUBLE
their current speeds – up to gigabit-class speeds at the
Un-carrier. That’s all on top of what is already America’s fastest
LTE network.

And, while the Un-carrier just keeps taking the speed crown –
recently notching the company’s 13th quarter in a row as the
fastest LTE network in America – Verizon and AT&T are cratering
since they launched unlimited data. Verizon’s download speed has
plummeted 14% since they launched unlimited LTE – talk about a
freefall! AT&T’s download speed followed suit and dropped 4%
ever since they FINALLY got on board with offering all their
customers unlimited LTE.
“Watching what the carriers’ new unlimited plans are doing to
their networks is like watching a train wreck in slow motion –
emphasis on slow,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile.
“This is what happens when you unleash unlimited data on a network
that wasn’t built to handle it. T-Mobile’s network was built for
unlimited, so customers can experience the Galaxy S8 as it was
intended – insanely-fast and without limits.”
Speed into the Savings
Customers who pick up the latest superphones at T-Mobile can
still save hundreds annually over Verizon and AT&T with
T-Mobile ONE -- the best unlimited plan on a network built to
handle it -- with benefits like unlimited everything, zero
overages, taxes and fees included and coverage in the air and
around the globe. Right now, it’s just $100 a month on AutoPay for
2 lines of T-Mobile ONE.

Speed calculations based on T-Mobile’s analysis of Ookla®
Speedtest® data using download speed from January 1 to February 12
for Verizon (25.49 Mbps) and January 1 to February 15 for AT&T
(24.41 Mbps) compared to the week of April 9-15 (21.96 and 23.51
Mbps respectively).
On all T-Mobile plans, if the network becomes intermittently
congested, top 3% of data users (>30 GB/mo.) may notice reduced
speeds due to prioritization. Video typically streams at DVD
quality (480p). Sales tax and regulatory fees included in monthly
service price. See in-store materials for specifics in your state.
Device speeds vary based on device, location, and network
conditions; typical download speeds will vary.
