T‑Mobile expands 5G network coverage in Pennsylvania

T-Mobile has expanded 5G coverage to hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania residents, covering nearly 99% of the state. Since 2021, T-Mobile built 700 new 5G towers and upgraded service across 37,000 square miles of Pennsylvania. The upgrades are part of T-Mobile’s broader efforts to improve its network.

As the network with the ‘fastest’ download speeds in Pennsylvania, according to third-party experts Ookla and Opensignal, these upgrades will enable Keystone State customers to experience the 5G network. With enhanced data speeds that allow for better performance when it comes to downloading videos and music and uploading and downloading large files without delay or interruption.

“Pennsylvanians are experiencing notable enhancements in wireless infrastructure, thanks to collaborative partnerships with local and state agencies and entities,” says Edwige A. Robinson, senior vice president, field engineering at T-Mobile. “The recent expansion of our 5G network across the state allows us to deliver enhanced wireless capabilities to individuals, families and businesses, furthering our commitment to improving the customer experience.”

Some of the counties that have benefitted from expanded coverage and additional capacity include:

In addition to network enhancements, T-Mobile also opened additional retail stores in Pennsylvania between 2022 and 2023, especially in smaller communities and rural towns across the state. The company now has more than 240 retail locations in Pennsylvania, with more slated to open in 2023 and 2024.
