T-Mobile Announces Signal Boost in Ashburn

For those who are unhappy with their T-mobile service, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The cell phone carrier announced this week that T-mobile has completed an 8-month coverage expansion project.

“With a rapid deployment of a nationwide LTE footprint that reaches over 293 million Americans, the Washington DC Metro area is now lit up with T-Mobile’s best in-building coverage offering,” stated the September 23rd release, which came the same week Apple started sales for the new Iphone 6S.

What does this mean for T-mobile customers? It means that the new spectrum that carries the LTE signal will travel twice as far from towers and will work four times better in buildings.

The release added that T-Mobile LTE customers in these cities can also experience better coverage in suburban and rural areas because the signal reaches further and penetrates deeper than before.

Other Northern Virginia areas that should experience better service include Reston, Fair Oaks, Sterling, Manassas, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Tysons Corner, Vienna and more.
