In March, T-Mobile announced that it would gradually shut down the 3G network, which is now to be used to send 10 percent. data. Objective? Freeing up blocked frequencies and increasing the capacity of 4G and 5G networks.
While the full 3G decommissioning process is expected to be completed by 2023, it has already begun. The 2100 MHz band went first in areas that do not yet have access to the 5G network. T-Mobile boasts that thanks to this, the capacity of the LTE network in these areas has already increased by over 10 percent.
The effect of the actions taken is to be a noticeable increase in internet speed. T-Mobile refers to the Speedtest report, according to which the average data download speed has increased by over 11 Mbps since January.
T-Mobile encourages those who have not yet done so to switch to 4G and 5G. And it reminds you to replace the SIM card
To use the latest and previous generation networks, you need not only a suitable phone (most smartphones have been supported by LTE for many years), but also a newer SIM card. And this part of the clients is not there yet.
T-Mobile reminds that full compliance with newer standards is ensured cards not older than 6 years. Free exchange can be made at the operator’s showroom.
