TMUS Strengthens Leadership in 5G Market

T-Mobile’s 5G network covers 98% of Americans, or 330 million people in the country. About 55% of postpaid customers are using a 5G phone, and 5G devices account for more than half of the total network traffic. The Ultra Capacity 5G delivers superfast speeds, powering 5G smartphones and enabling innovators to deliver transformational 5G experiences. T-Mobile achieved its full-year target of covering 300 million Americans with ultra capacity 5G network, two months before its targeted deadline. It intends to bring more competition to home broadband, especially in underserved rural markets.

The company continues to deploy 5G with the mid-band 2.5 GHz spectrum from Sprint. The 2.5 GHz 5G delivers superfast speeds and extensive coverage with signals that go through walls and trees, unlike 5G networks that are controlled by the mmWave spectrum. This gives the un-carrier a competitive edge over AT&T and Verizon. In many places, mid-band 5G average download speeds are around 300 Mbps, with peak speeds approaching 1 Gbps. It plans to continue growing this 5G spectrum deployment at an aggressive pace. T-Mobile’s business strategy is built on covering 90% of rural America, with an average 5G speed of 50 Mbps, up to two times faster than broadband.

For fiscal 2025, T-Mobile anticipates core adjusted EBITDA (adjusted EBITDA less lease revenues) between $33.1 billion and 33.6 billion, up from $31.77 billion in 2024. Adjusted free cash flow is projected at $17.3-18 billion, implying growth from $17.03 billion in 2024.
