The Un-carrier is leveraging its massive 5G
network to increase access to T-Mobile Home Internet in 32 cities
and towns in California, now available to nearly half of all
households across the state.
T-Mobile is turning the Golden State magenta. Today, T-Mobile
(NASDAQ: TMUS) announced it has expanded the footprint of its 5G
Home Internet across California, where more than 1.3 million
households still have no access to home broadband. With this latest
expansion across more than 30 cities and towns, T-Mobile Home
Internet is now available to over six million homes throughout the
state.

In 2022, many families still lack access to fast, reliable home
broadband and California is no exception. In about half of
California’s counties – 30 of 58 – broadband access is available to
at least 94% of residents, according to a Federal Communications
Commission study. Yet in these 30 counties, only 46% of households
actually have high-speed internet. And in the Los Angeles area
alone, it’s estimated that about 20% of students – 90,000 children
– either still lack broadband service or don’t have enough
bandwidth to meet academic needs. This is unacceptable.
With T-Mobile, more than 40 million households – a third of them
in rural America – are eligible for 5G Home Internet. They’ll get
broadband speeds that handle multiple devices at the same time for
working, streaming, zooming, online learning, gaming and more!
What People Are Saying
“We are excited to see T-Mobile expand its Home Internet service
into more parts of the San Joaquin Valley,” said Victor Lopez,
Orange Cove Mayor & Chair of the Central Valley Latino Mayors
and Elected Officials Coalition (CVLEOC). “Many parts of the Valley
lack access to affordable and dependable broadband and this new
product will provide another option to our region’s residents. We
commend T-Mobile for bringing more affordable and usable broadband
to our region’s residents."
"Many small Asian American and Pacific Islander businesses and
households lack access to affordable broadband and T-Mobile
wireless internet helps fill a void in the marketplace,” said Faith
Bautista, CEO of The National Asian American Coalition. “We are
looking forward to this wireless deployment and want to acknowledge
T-Mobile’s efforts in bridging the digital divide in underserved
communities.”
“Broadband customers are stuck – millions of families across the
country still have little to no choice when it comes to home
internet. For decades, customers have been stuck with terrible
customer service, price hikes and surprise fees from their internet
providers,” said Mike Katz, Chief Marketing Officer at T-Mobile.
“Today, we’re taking another step to change that, increasing access
to T-Mobile Home Internet throughout California. With the
Un-carrier, residents across the Golden State can get reliable,
affordable home broadband without all the traditional ISP BS.
That’s why more than a million customers nationwide have already
switched to T-Mobile Home Internet.”
