With T-Mobile ’ s continued dominance of the US ’ 5G race , its MVNO subsidiary Metro is quickly positioning itself as a dominant force in the US market .

Operating on T-Mobile ’ s nationwide LTE network and its growing 5G network , which currently covers 1.7 million square miles - more than AT & T and Verizon ’ s 5G network coverage combined - Metro delivers an MNO-level service on a virtual network . In addition to near-nationwide coverage , Metro by T-Mobile also offers incentives tied to its premium plans , including Google One and Amazon Prime memberships .
