What network does T-Mobile use?

T-Mobile uses their own 4G LTE and 5G networks to provide coverage.

T-Mobile 5G Coverage

T-Mobile is one of the leading providers when it comes to 5G coverage. 

Its 5G network covers 49.0% of the U.S. land area and over 325 million Americans.

About 275 million of Americans people are covered by T-Mobile Ultra Capacity 5G, which delivers crazy fast speeds up to 3.3 Gbps.

T-Mobile has been rapidly expanding and building out its 5G network since its acquisition of Sprint in 2020, and many people are seeing dramatic improvements in T-Mobile’s network since they last used it.

T-Mobile 5G covers 49.0% of the area in the US while AT&T’s 5G network covers 41.4%.

More importantly, T-Mobile is delivering faster download and upload speeds than AT&T.

T-Mobile's median download speeds are 152.34 Mbps, which is roughly 2.4x faster than AT&T's 61.17 Mbps median download speeds. Median upload speeds on T-Mobile are 17.34 Mbps, which is also faster than the 11.29 Mbps median upload speeds on AT&T.

Both T-Mobile and AT&T will likely perform well in cities, as both networks cover over 99% of the U.S. population.

However, in more rural areas AT&T may be a better option because it has a larger overall coverage footprint.

Both carriers will likely provide adequate coverage in major cities, and T-Mobile will likely deliver faster speeds.

Verizon’s more expansive coverage may come in handy outside of major cities, though.
