Billions of real-world customer tests rank
T-Mobile first for speed, responsiveness and LTE signal
availability
Wireless customers have spoken, and America has a new No.1
network. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced its network has
scored a clean sweep in the latest State of Mobile Networks report
from OpenSignal, placing no.1 in every category. It is the first
such sweep for any major wireless provider anywhere in the world.
In the report, more than five billion tests from actual wireless
customers in the second quarter show that T-Mobile’s network is not
only the fastest, but also the most responsive, and T-Mobile
customers get an LTE signal more often than customers of any other
major wireless company do.

The OpenSignal report also confirmed that, since February, when
Verizon and AT&T began widely offering unlimited data plans,
the carriers’ customers have continued to see a steady drop in
network speeds, declining steadily every month. In a separate blog
post measuring peak network speeds for
the same timeframe, OpenSignal found that T-Mobile customers
experienced speeds closer to the top more often than Verizon
customers on an everyday basis.
“Better matters. But BEST sure as hell matters more,” said John
Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “I’ve always said, ‘Shut up
and listen to your customers.’ Well, now, customers across all US
wireless providers have spoken—through billions of their network
experiences—and they’ve told us loud and clear that America’s
Un-carrier has built America’s BEST unlimited network.”
In addition to the OpenSignal results, T-Mobile’s LTE network
was also fastest for the 14th quarter in a row according to Ookla
Speedtest.net data, which is based on millions of actual customer
experiences.
“It’s a clean sweep for the Un-carrier!” said Neville Ray, Chief
Technology Officer for T-Mobile. “For the past several years,
T-Mobile customers have been riding on America’s fastest LTE
network. But that wasn’t good enough for us. Now T-Mobile’s network
is the fastest, the most responsive and has the most reliable LTE
signal in the nation. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!”
Rather than basing results on the simulations used in older
network testing methods, with scripted drive routes on only one
phone model, OpenSignal gathers data directly from actual wireless
customers who have downloaded the app onto their smartphones.
Performance measurements are taken wherever customers happen to be,
at home, at work, or on the go – indoors and out – resulting in a
true representation of customers’ wireless data experience.
Since 2015, T-Mobile has doubled its LTE coverage and now covers
315 million people. By the end of the year, the Un-carrier expects
to expand LTE coverage to 321 million people. With its rollout of
700 MHz Extended Range LTE nearly complete, T-Mobile plans to
further broaden its LTE footprint for customers this year with its
newly acquired 600 MHz spectrum.
