T-Mobile Ultra Capacity 5G Now Available to 300 Million People

T-Mobile announced today that it has reached its goal of covering 300 million people with Ultra Capacity 5G (5G UC), months ahead of schedule. The company also announced additional network enhancements, expanding its overall 5G footprint to more than 330 million people or 98% of the population.

What's the point in having a goal if you can't absolutely SMASH it?! T-Mobile today announced it has expanded its Ultra Capacity 5G network to cover 300 million people – reaching the goal months ahead of schedule! The Un-carrier also expanded its overall 5G coverage to reach more than 330 million people and more square miles than the other two largest U.S. wireless providers combined.

"We have been leaders in the 5G era from the start, deploying the largest, fastest, most awarded and most advanced 5G network in the country faster than anyone else," said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology at T-Mobile. "While the other guys are playing catch-up, finally beginning to build out their mid-band 5G networks, we are maintaining our lead and will continue offering customers the best network – paired with the best value – for years to come".


T-Mobile notes that while other U.S. operators went all in on millimeter wave, it took a multi-band spectrum strategy using low-band 5G to blanket the country and mid-band 5G (Ultra Capacity) to bring fast speeds to most users. Currently, its Ultra Capacity 5G network is said to cover more square miles than the mid-band 5G networks of all its competitors combined.

In recent testing, T-Mobile easily took the lead in 5G speeds with a median download speed in the U.S. of 221.57 Mbps during Q3 2023. Notably, the iPhone 15 Pro Max was fastest smartphone in the U.S. during this same testing period, surpassing the iPhone 15 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
