BELLEVUE, Wash. -- (Business Wire)
T-Mobile (NYSE: TMUS)
today announced that it has just made things a whole lot faster in
Connecticut. The Un-carrier™ upgraded its LTE network, already America’s
fastest nationwide 4G LTE network, to Wideband LTE, bringing up to a 50%
increase in speed to customers in major cities including Bridgeport,
Danbury, Hartford, Fairfield, Meriden, Milford, New Britain, New Haven,
Stamford and Waterbury.
Wideband LTE adds more “lanes” to the T-Mobile network, increasing
capacity and speeds for everyone by giving customers a multi-lane data
freeway. Using T-Mobile’s Wideband LTE, customers can download a full 90
minute HD movie in three and half minutes or a whole album in just nine
seconds with theoretical peak download speeds of 110 Mbps.
“We rolled out the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network last year, but we
didn’t stop there. We’re continuing to upgrade our network at a
breakneck pace – VoLTE, HD Voice and Wideband LTE – for even more
ridiculously fast speeds and a better quality experience,” said Neville
Ray, Chief Technology Officer, T-Mobile. “The best part is that
customers can use T-Mobile’s Wideband LTE right away. While with Sprint
or Verizon you may need to buy a new phone to use their newest
technologies, every T-Mobile customer with an LTE phone or tablet
immediately benefits from this upgrade.”
T-Mobile customers in these areas are seeing speeds faster than AT&T and
Verizon, and almost two and half times faster than Sprint. From the city
of Stamford, Yale University, Hartford and in other popular areas of the
state, T-Mobile customers are downloading with average speeds of 30 Mbps
and observed speeds as high as 80 Mbps in October 2014. Those speeds are
good news for Connecticut customers who on average use 2.03 GB/month of
data1.
Connecticut is just the latest area to get a network upgrade, as the
Un-carrier continues to expand coverage and enhance performance of its
4G LTE network. Wideband LTE has already been rolled out in:
