It’s a good time to be a family of four. T-Mobile has just announced the latest in a series of promotions that’ll get you and three others unlimited data for just $150. Heralding this offer as the “best-ever pricing for families,” the price is pretty sweet for boundless LTE for your smartphones. And better still, families and small businesses alike can add up to eight additional lines for $30 each. So if you’re constantly finding yourself on the losing end of your data plan, it may be time to consider a switch.

If unlimited data seems like too much data, you could also consider getting four lines of 10 GB per line (remember, T-Mobile doesn’t share, so every one of those 10 GBs are yours), for $120 per month. This translates to just $30 a month, which certainly sounds like a deal. And if you don’t have a large family, you can opt for two lines of 10 GB each for $100. Sure, at $50 per line, it’s a bit steeper, so you might as well grab a couple friends and make an ad-hoc family.

“Over the past year alone, we’ve more than doubled the reach of our LTE coverage, so more people than ever can now ride America’s fastest 4G LTE network,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile in a statement. “Last year, I told you we’d massively expand our LTE coverage, and we did. I promised we’d compete nearly everywhere with Verizon’s LTE network, and win. And that’s exactly what real-time, crowd-sourced studies are now confirming.”

The Un-carrier, which claims to be “America’s fastest 4G LTE network,” boasts that a record number of customers have been switching over for both the low prices and the additional benefits of being part of the T-Mobile family. And while one of their most frequently touted new programs, Binge-On, has received some negative attention in recent weeks, with prices like these, T-Mobile seems confident in its ability to attract new business.

The 5G speed race is over and T-Mobile has won

Every few months, a new market analysis comes out comparing the top 5G performance and availability among U.S. carriers. Each time, we wonder if the latest report will finally topple T-Mobile, which has held a commanding lead over rivals AT&T and Verizon for years. Yet, with each new report, T-Mobile pulls farther ahead while AT&T and Verizon are left in the dust.

With that in mind, Opensignal's latest 5G Experience Report doesn't bring too many surprises, at least in broad strokes. T-Mobile continues to deliver 5G download speeds that are more than twice those of any other carrier and more than twice the 5G availability. This means you won't just get faster performance on T-Mobile's 5G network, but you're more likely to be able to find a 5G connection.

T-Mobile has just unveiled a new set of plans and perks to help both new and current customers break free of lengthy device contracts while guaranteeing you'll be able to get the best deals available on phone upgrades every two years.

Significantly, with the new plans, the "Un-carrier" promises equal treatment for all customers, whether they're coming over from another carrier or have been using T-Mobile's services for years. That's in contrast to the limited-time offers of its rivals, which often ignore their most loyal subscribers in an effort to entice others to switch carriers.

T-Mobile’s 5G is still unmatched — but have speeds plateaued?

Each time a new analysis of mobile network performance gets published, it’s almost a given that we’ll see T-Mobile leading the pack in terms of delivering the fastest 5G speeds. After all, the “Un-carrier” had a massive lead in deploying its 5G networks — and it hasn’t been resting on its laurels.

However, its competitors haven’t been sitting still either. While Verizon may have been starting from behind, it’s been aggressively deploying the faster 5G spectrum that gave it a nice leap in 5G performance last year. Still, Verizon and AT&T are lagging quite a bit in overall mobile network performance, and AT&T has fallen even farther behind when it comes to delivering the best 5G speeds across the nation.
