Miami area residents see an immediate boost in speeds as the Un-carrier’s upgrades the network to Wideband LTE
Miami, Florida – December 9, 2014 – On the heels of recent LTE upgrades across the U.S., T-Mobile (NYSE: TMUS) today announced that Miami, FL is the latest area to get up to a 50% increase in LTE mobile speeds from a Wideband LTE upgrade. In addition to the greater Miami area, LTE customers in the Ft. Lauderdale and Pompano Beach areas are also experiencing super-fast download speeds, making access to their favorite mobile content seem almost instantaneous. In December, T-Mobile customers in the Miami area observed download speeds as high as 75 Mbps.
Wideband LTE increases the bandwidth and capacity of T-Mobile's LTE network to help deliver faster peak speeds. It is like adding more lanes to a freeway for all LTE customers to speed along in.
