In 2015 alone, T-Mobile more than doubled its LTE coverage footprint, adding nearly 1 million square miles of new 4G LTE coverage and now covers 305 million Americans - 97% the number of customers that Verizon does, while delivering the fastest 4G LTE network in the nation. Meanwhile, Verizon’s network virtually stood still in comparison. Now, Verizon customers in Albuquerque and Cedar Crest will have the chance to see for themselves if their network is actually better and win $100 if they can prove it. If they lose, they’ll pose for a photo with a network sign of shame, with options like “T-Mobile’s just busted Verizon’s network myth #BallBusterChallenge,” and “T-Mobile’s network was just as good as Verizon’s #BallBusterChallenge” (but we’ll toss in a consolation prize for playing). Join our Challenge Team for a chance to win $100 at: - __10:00AM – 12:00PM MT –__ Albuquerque Civic Plaza near the corner of 4th St NW and Marquette Ave NW - __2:00PM – 4:00PM MT__ - In front of the Turquoise Trail Bakery - North Cedar Crest, 12220 NM-14, Cedar Crest, NM 87008 You can also follow along on social at [#BallBusterChallenge](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BallBusterChallenge) or [@TMobile](https://twitter.com/tmobile) or see our latest [video](https://twitter.com/JohnLegere/status/698276622445641728). __Legal disclaimer__ Fastest 4G LTE network based on download speeds.   __About T-Mobile US, Inc.__ As America's Un-carrier, T-Mobile US, Inc.
