It also offered the best typical overall download speed at 97.1 Mbps. 5G networks offer faster download speeds, lower latency, and greater reliability than previous generations.
T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint has enabled it to challenge AT&T and Verizon
T-Mobile US, which is majority owned by the German telecommunications firm Deutsche Telekom, has made significant investments in its attempts to challenge the dominance of AT&T and Verizon. This has included its 26 billion U.S. dollar merger with Sprint in 2020, which dramatically increased its subscriber share and placed it to challenge its rivals in the 5G space over the coming years. In addition to delivering the fastest 5G download speeds, the operator has also offered the best coverage among U.S. network operators.
