T-Mobile took Verizon’s title as the US’ fastest LTE network, and is celebrating by offering four Unlimited LTE lines for only $150 per month.
While Verizon previously held the title, OpenSignal says T-Mobile now offers the fastest LTE network in the US. As a quick summary, 3G download speeds were at an average of 3.5MB/s. In comparison, AT&T’s is much lower are just 2.2MB/s. T-Mobile also narrowly passed Verizon with 4G LTE speeds of 12.3MB/s, with Verizon’s sitting at 12MB/s.
T-Mobile may have just narrowly passed Verizon, but the company still looks at it as a cause for celebration. The Un-carrier is offering a promotion on its Unlimited LTE lines, allowing customers to get four lines of Unlimited LTE for just $150 per month.
If four lines of Unlimited LTE isn’t enough for you, T-Mobile says they’ll be able to add more lines to their plan for just $30 each up to a total of 12 lines. Alternatively, families can get two lines with each having an allotment 10GB of data to use (a total of 20GB) for only $100.

It’s certainly a sweet deal, particularly if you’re in the market for getting a new smartphone. Anyone plan on taking advantage of T-Mobile’s new deal?
