T-Mobile Coverage Map

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 has the second most 5G coverage in the United States.

Its 5G network covers 36% of the U.S. and over 325 million Americans.

More importantly, T-Mobile's network is faster than AT&T's.

We measure speeds across the country through our crowd-sourced speed test map.

T-Mobile's median download speeds are 152.34 Mbps, which is roughly 2.4x faster than AT&T's median download speeds of 61.17 Mbps.

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.
