Current customers of the regional provider have already received letters telling them they\u2019ll officially become T-Mobile customers starting September 2nd, pending regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a aria-label=\"T-Mobile\u2019s Fiber Expansion Continues with U.S. Internet Deal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/t-mobile-acquisition-brings-u.s.-internet-into-the-fold_id173487\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PhoneArena<\/a>, U.S. Internet isn\u2019t a huge catch compared to T-Mobile\u2019s other recent acquisitions, but it adds nearly 200,000 potential connections to the Un-carrier\u2019s fiber plans. Most of those are concentrated in Minnesota\u2019s most populated county, which makes sense from a business standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>This purchase fits into T-Mobile\u2019s bigger picture of trying to catch up in the home internet game. The company already dominates 5G home internet with 7 million customers, but fiber is still considered the gold standard for speed and reliability. That\u2019s why T-Mobile has been on a buying spree, previously snatching up Lumos and Metronet, with plans to reach up to 15 million homes with fiber service by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The timing isn\u2019t coincidental either. Wall Street analysts have been critical of T-Mobile\u2019s limited fiber footprint, with one major firm downgrading the stock and calling the carrier \u201cfiber deficient.\u201d With competitors like AT&amp;T and Verizon building out extensive fiber networks that can be bundled with wireless plans, T-Mobile clearly feels the pressure to keep up.<\/p>\n<p>For customers in the Minneapolis area, this likely means better service options are coming. T-Mobile launched its home fiber service just this past June, so integrating U.S. Internet\u2019s existing network should give local customers access to T-Mobile\u2019s broader service ecosystem while potentially improving speeds and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>The deal still needs final regulatory approval, but given T-Mobile\u2019s recent track record with acquisitions, it seems like a foregone conclusion at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a aria-label=\"T-Mobile\u2019s Fiber Expansion Continues with U.S. Internet Deal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/t-mobile-acquisition-brings-u.s.-internet-into-the-fold_id173487\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PhoneArena<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; T-Mobile has struck another deal to expand its fiber internet footprint, this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[259],"tags":[19835,18,19212,19,285,17,13248,82,19836],"class_list":{"0":"post-23449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-acquisition","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-fiber","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-internet","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-mergers","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-u-s-internet"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
