T-Mobile launches new internet plan after customer losses
T-Mobile launched a new Fiber 5 Gig internet plan priced at $90/month with a 10-year price guarantee, aiming to address customer losses. The company reported a 31% drop in new postpaid accounts and higher churn in Q3 2026, partly due to its UScellular acquisition. T-Mobile faces competition from Verizon and AT&T, which added 155,000 and 416,000 fiber customers respectively in Q3.
