T-Mobile announced on Monday that its next-generation 4G LTE service, “Wideband LTE,” has now been activated in Manhattan, providing data speeds in excess of 100Mbps. The new service is designed to provide dramatic speed and performance improvements.
In addition to Manhattan, Wideband LTE now covers T-Mobile customers in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island and Northern NJ. All of Westchester County, including White Plains and Scarsdale as well as Central New Jersey will be added soon.
“New Yorkers deserve a network that moves at the blazing speed of this amazing city. Our LTE network was already fastest here. Now, with the launch of Wideband LTE, we’ve widened our lead even further throughout the greater metro area,” said Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer for T-Mobile. “We are working relentlessly to bring more Wideband LTE to more markets in 2015 for our customers to enjoy.”
Wideband LTE increases bandwidth and capacity on T-Mobile’s LTE network. With T-Mobile Wideband LTE, the carrier claims customers can download a full 90-minute HD movie to their phone or tablet in just three and a half minutes or a whole album in just nine seconds with theoretical peak download speeds of 110 Mbps.
The carrier has also announced that it will be unveiling its latest contract-free deal tomorrow, dubbed Un-carrier 8.0. We’ll keep you posted when we find out what it’s all about.
