While all major providers cover more than 99 percent of
Interstate Highway miles with LTE, 5G is a radically different
story. According to Ookla Speedtest Intelligence® data and
advertised coverage from competitors, T-Mobile’s 5G network has a
massive lead over other networks, covering 92 percent of all
Interstate Highway miles in the U.S. AT&T is a distant second
at 68 percent and if you squint really hard, you’ll see Verizon in
the rear-view mirror at just 51 percent.
So, while you’ve got your maps out for all that trip planning,
here are a few more to consider:
“We’re more than ready to get into some long-awaited summer fun
on the roads, and with T-Mobile 5G, we’ve got you covered on those
highways across the country,” said Neville Ray, President of
Technology at T-Mobile. “When you’ve got T-Mobile 5G, you’ve got
the largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network … so you’re
covered at home, work, school, your favorite vacation spot, and on
the roads in between. There’s one choice for reliable 5G
connectivity on the go — and that’s T-Mobile.”
All this coverage is great news for Americans ready to get a
change of scenery and travel the country, as pandemic-related
restrictions ease up. A recent survey shows 92 percent of Americans
are confident they’ll finally be ready for a road trip by
September. And T-Mobile customers already kicked off the summer
travel season in force this Memorial Day weekend: the number of
customers who traveled 100 miles or more DOUBLED over the same time
last year, and there was an 80 percent increase in those who
traveled 50 miles or more.
T-Mobile is America’s 5G leader with the largest, fastest and
most reliable 5G network. T-Mobile’s Extended Range 5G covers 295
million people across 1.6 million square miles. And with Sprint now
part of T-Mobile, the Un-carrier is widening its lead, lighting up
Ultra Capacity 5G across the country and bringing fast 5G speeds to
more places than anyone else. Ultra Capacity 5G delivers average
speeds of 325 Mbps with peaks of 1 Gbps, and now covers 140 million
people with plans to reach 200 million by the end of the year.
