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.

It doesn’t look like anyone can beat T-Mobile

Even as all three big U.S. carriers continue to expand their fastest midrange 5G coverage, T-Mobile maintains a healthy lead on the competition -- especially when it comes to overall network speeds across both 4G/LTE and 5G.

That’s the word from Ookla’s H1 U.S. Connectivity Report published today. While the latest scores show that Verizon and AT&T have made considerable strides in 5G performance, they still have a long way to go before they can match T-Mobile’s lead -- and there’s an even greater gap when it comes to overall network performance.

T-Mobile is getting rid of its misleading ‘Price Lock’ policy

T-Mobile just got into some trouble with the National Advertising Program (NAD), a part of the BBB National Programs, an independent non-profit organization, for advertising its supposed “Price Lock” policy for 5G internet service.

Basically, the premise behind the “Price Lock” was a promise not to increase prices for customers who were on the Un-Contract Promise: “Starting January 18, 2024, customers activating or switching to an eligible rate plan get our Price Lock guarantee that only you can change what you pay—and we mean it!”
