T-Mobile Rolls Out Faster Speeds in
Upstate New York with Expanded 5G Network. The Un-carrier now
covers nearly 97% of the region, bringing enhancements to more
customers.
From Albany to Buffalo and in places everywhere in between,
T-Mobile's multi-year investment added nearly 400 new cell sites
and upgrades to more than 800 existing towers across Upstate New
York — expanding its 5G coverage footprint as well as increasing
capacity to keep pace with the area’s suburban and rural
growth.
Areas where T-Mobile launched 5G include:
- Albany Airport
- Clarkson University
- Fair Haven State Park
- Fort Drum
- Lake Placid
- SUNY Plattsburgh
Some of the counties which saw the most significant network
enhancements include:
- Albany
- Cayuga
- Chautauqua
- Erie
- Monroe
- Niagara
- Onondaga
- Rensselaer
- Saratoga
- St. Lawrence
“Whether it’s the Catskill Mountains or Niagara Falls, Upstate
New York is home to some of the country’s most popular tourist
destinations, so our 5G network upgrades and expansion will better
serve customers who both live in and visit this part of the Empire
State,” said Luis Reyes, Vice President, Field Engineering for the
Northeast Region at T-Mobile. “Network coverage, reliable service
and speed are among the top priorities for wireless consumers,
businesses, and public safety organizations, and we plan to
continue building new installations and making upgrades to existing
sites in Upstate New York in 2024.”
Access to a fast, reliable broadband connection has never been
more important and these network improvements helped T-Mobile bring
5G Home Internet and Business Internet to Upstate New York. Today,
5G Home Internet is available to 40% of homes in Upstate New York —
that’s over 1.6 million households. This means households across
the area can finally ditch traditional ISPs for fast, reliable
internet that’s easy to set up and has no annual contracts or
hidden fees. Plus, the Un-carrier makes business internet simple
and can connect all of a businesses’ stores and remote offices
almost anywhere within its wireless footprint. Residents can learn

T-Mobile's Ongoing Commitment to New York
In addition to the recent network enhancements, T-Mobile also
announced the soft opening this month of its new Customer
Experience Center in Henrietta. The company also opened new retail
stores across Upstate New York including in Bath, Camillus,
Cobleskill, Geneseo, Jamestown, Johnstown, New Paltz, Oneida,
Ontario, Rochester, Springville, and Vestal in 2023 — with more on
the way.
With an expanding presence in New York, T-Mobile is also focused
on helping to make a difference in communities across the state.
T-Mobile’s Hometown Grants provide funding to 100 small towns each
year to use towards city beautification projects, public
improvements and more. Since launching the five-year program in
2021, five towns in New York — Akwesasne, Otisville, Potsdam, Town
of Poughkeepsie, and Village of Arcade — have already received
grants totaling nearly $225,000.
T-Mobile is also actively engaged in connecting students across
the state through its $10.7B initiative, Project 10Million. The
initiative is aimed at helping close the digital divide in
education by offering free internet connectivity and mobile
hotspots to up to 10 million eligible student households
nationwide. Through T-Mobile’s education program, the company has
connected over 690,000 students across 215 New York school
districts and is also offering school districts free and heavily
subsidized data plans and access to affordable laptops and
tablets.
