  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, April 24, 2025 – T-Mobile will soon reach up to 12 to 15 million homes with fiber.\n\nClick on this chart to go to the page on \"Premium Charts and Data\"\n\nAvailable to Breakfast Club Members\n\nThe company plans to launch its fiber internet service by the end of this quarter, marking a major expansion of its wireline broadband ambitions following the closure of its Lumos acquisition and ahead of a pending joint venture with Metronet.\n\n“Lumos and Metronet move us to 12 to 15 million homes passed [with fiber],” CEO **Mike Sievert** said during the company’s first quarter earnings call Thursday. “On top of 12 million [fixed wireless access] customers – that's a pretty substantial footprint.” T-Mobile currently serves just under 7 million fixed wireless subscribers and aims to reach 12 million by 2028.\n\nT-Mobile invested approximately $950 million for a 50% equity stake in Lumos and all existing fiber customers. Lumos operates a 7,500-mile fiber network, providing high-speed connectivity to 475,000 homes across the Mid-Atlantic. The joint venture aims to expand this reach to 3.5 million homes by the end of 2028.\n\nIn the first quarter, the company reported _424,000 high-speed internet customer_ additions bringing its fixed wireless access total to 6.8 million. On the mobile side, T-Mobile added 495,000 postpaid phone accounts, outpacing _AT &T_ and _Verizon_. Verizon still leads in mobile customers with 146 million mobile customers to T-Mobile’s 130 million.\n\nAsked whether the company can sustain this pace of growth, Sievert responded, “Q1 was an all-time record in terms of postpaid net additions and gross additions for T-Mobile.”\n\nSievert also announced that T-Mobile’s commercial satellite service will begin in July, with pricing set at $10 per month. It will be included for free in some T-Mobile’s plans, and Sievert said T-Mobile would honor the $10 price point for AT&T and Verizon customers as well.\n\nThe company has already rolled out the beta version of T-Satellite. The service seamlessly connects smartphones from terrestrial to satellite networks, with hundreds of thousands of active customers already using it and over a million messages delivered.\n\nIn a separate acquisition, T-Mobile is pursuing a _$4.4 billion_ acquisition of UScellular assets, including 4 million customers, 30% of UScellular’s spectrum, and more than 2,000 wireless towers.\n\nTotal revenue for the company rose 7% year-over-year to $20.9 billion, T-Mobile’s strongest Q1 growth in four years. Net income grew 24% to $3.0 billion, marking T-Mobile’s best-ever Q1 profit.",
