TUCSON, Ariz. — January 22, 2024 — T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is taking connectivity to the next level for hundreds of thousands across the city of Tucson. The network enhancements the company has made over the last two years now cover 99% of outdoor areas in Tucson, AZ. with T-Mobile’s blazing fast Ultra Capacity 5G*, enhancing the experience for T-Mobile users in the places that matter most with faster speeds, lower latency and better connectivity.

As the first provider in the country with nationwide Standalone 5G (SA 5G), T-Mobile is uniquely positioned to offer customers access to the full array of benefits that comes with 5G.  Here are just a few examples of how T-Mobile is the leading option for Tucsonans:

  • T-Mobile is the best place to stream video on the go, meaning you’ll never have to worry about missing a play while watching your favorite sports team while out and about.
  • T-Mobile has the lowest latency, meaning mobile gamers can make split second decisions to clutch their next win.
  • T-Mobile has the fastest network in Tucson with median download speeds of 274 Mbps. Customers in this area won’t have to worry about their phones taking forever to load, whether they need to pull up directions on their way home, download their favorite shows and games on the go, T-Mobile can get it done faster.

One of the ways T-Mobile is making an immediate impact with recent upgrades is by introducing high-speed broadband, often-times called fixed wireless service, as an alternative to traditional broadband providers like Cable or Satellite. Today, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet is available in Tucson, providing an option for fast, reliable home internet that’s easy to set up and has no annual contracts or hidden fees. Plus, the Un-carrier simplifies business internet, enabling businesses to connect offices and locations nationwide.

As if the Un-carrier needed another reason to show why it’s better over here.

T-Mobile is the leader in 5G, delivering the country’s largest, fastest and most awarded 5G network to T-Mobile customers and Metro by T-Mobile users. The Un-carrier’s 5G network covers more than 330 million people across two million square miles — more than AT&T and Verizon combined. 300 million people nationwide are covered by T-Mobile’s super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G with over 2x more square miles of coverage than similar mid-band 5G offerings from the Un-carrier’s closest competitors.
