From a scruffy but feisty newcomer, T-Mobile has become a 5G network juggernaut in the US thanks to its FCC-approved acquisition of Sprint not long ago that allowed it to build the so-called “layer cake” of a robust 5G coverage from the low to the mid-bands.
T-Mobile is consistently scoring the fastest 5G network download speed awards and the most robust 5G coverage for a few quarters in a row now, and it also offers the most competitive family plan prices. It’s also an OG GSM carrier like AT&T, so phone choices and compatibility are better than on Verizon.
Despite all the marketing fluff, however, and its underdog status that made it a favorite among users, T-Mobile still has a way to go in coverage outside of the big city areas and frequented highways compared to AT&T or, even worse, to Verizon’s coverage. The newly announced advancements in its 5G network, however, put it firmly on the path to remain the nationwide 5G leader always a step ahead in coverage and capacity.
