T-Mobile announced that its network investments are yielding positive results.

T-Mobile's CEO, Mike Sievert, stated on October 23, 2025, that leading T-Mobile has been a great honor. He said that the team had accomplished what many believed was impossible, transforming the company from an underdog to a successful and customer-focused telecom. Sievert expressed confidence that the profitable growth engine, fueled by Srini's passion and leadership, would continue to advance T-Mobile.

While investors are likely focused on specific figures, T-Mobile is emphasizing the meaning behind them. Total service revenues increased by 9% year-over-year, reaching $18.2 billion, with postpaid service revenues rising by 12% to $14.9 billion.

T-Mobile's Q3 results show the addition of 2.3 million postpaid net users (up 772K from last year), including 1 million postpaid phone users (up 142K), 43K prepaid users (up 19K), and 560K broadband users (up 142K). This demonstrates substantial growth in all areas.

The addition of new users contributes to increased revenue, potentially influenced by earlier price increases. However, there are also notable network improvements.

Opensignal recognized T-Mobile as the 5G Global Winner for Coverage Experience and Global Leader in Reliability, surpassing Verizon and AT&T in multiple categories. It was also ranked first among fixed wireless access (FWA) providers for consistent quality and reliability.

Ookla data indicated that T-Mobile's fixed wireless home internet service has the fastest speeds in the nation, with median download speeds almost 50% faster than the next provider.

For mobile users, the iPhone 17 reportedly performs best on T-Mobile's network, with median download speeds almost 90% faster than Verizon and AT&T. However, there have been some reports of network issues with the iPhone 17.

T-Mobile's Q3 report indicates ongoing growth in mobile, home internet, and fiber. Network performance metrics are strong, customer churn is low, and the company is gaining more users than it is losing.

T-Mobile's consistent financial and subscriber growth enables further investment in network reliability and performance.

As Verizon and AT&T prepare to release their Q3 results, it will be interesting to see how they present their own "record quarters." Ultimately, the best provider depends on location, coverage, and the most suitable deal.
