It has been a year since T-Mobile first started giving away free stuff (yes, really) every Tuesday, and to celebrate the milestone, the Un-carrier is doing the only logical thing — giving away more free stuff. Every hour for 12 hours today, June 6, the Seattle-based mobile service provider will be giving away prizes, including 100 LG G6 phones, an LG G Pad X 8.0, and other non-hardware treats.

For the past year, T-Mobile has been thanking its customers for simply existing by way of its T-Mobile Tuesdays program, and over the last 12 months, customers have taken advantage of more than 40 million free gifts. But now, the company really wants to turn up the volume, promising to give away “tens of millions of dollars in free stuff.”

There’s the opportunity for free gas for a year, free movie tickets for a year, $1,000 to spend at PetSmart (or Papa John’s or Vudu), free Lyft rides, and free coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. And of course, T-Mobile is still giving out its more standard Tuesday prizes (though do you really want a T-Mobile branded trucker hat?).

“The carriers just love to see you sweat. But, this summer, the Un-carrier’s gonna help you stay chill — with ice cream, movies, and a whole lot more.” said John Legere, president & CEO of T-Mobile. “With T-Mobile Tuesdays, we prove our loyalty to you and thank you for being a customer every single week with awesome free stuff.”

So how do you actually win one of these prizes? Well, you’ll have to be pretty vigilant about monitoring Twitter. Starting at 9:00 a.m. ET tomorrow, June 7, follow @TMobile on Twitter and reply to #Thankiversary tweets. Those of you who reply, retweet, and are engaged with T-Mobile’s posts will have a higher chance of winning. You just have to keep your eye on the prize.

T-Mobile continues to command a massive lead in offering the best 5G experience among U.S. carriers. A few weeks ago, a report from Ookla revealed that T-Mobile is leaving its rivals in the dust; now Opensignal has confirmed that not only is the Un-carrier’s lead increasing in raw speeds, but it’s leading the way in taking 5G into the mainstream.

According to Opensignal’s latest 5G Experience Report, T-Mobile not only offers the fastest 5G experience in the U.S. by a sizeable margin but on average, customers on T-Mobile spend nearly 50% of their time on the carrier’s 5G network.

Ookla has just published its latest market report revealing where U.S. mobile carriers and smartphone manufacturers stand in terms of providing the best 5G and 4G/LTE services.

Not surprisingly, T-Mobile remained in the top spot during the fourth quarter of 2022, eclipsing its rivals when it comes to median download speeds. What may be more surprising is that T-Mobile has increased its lead, clocking in at 151.37Mbps overall and 216.56Mbps for 5G, breaking the 200Mbps barrier for median 5G speeds across all bands for the first time.
