The company plans to launch its fiber internet service by the end of this quarter, marking a major expansion of its wireline broadband ambitions following the closure of its Lumos acquisition and ahead of a pending joint venture with Metronet.

“Lumos and Metronet move us to 12 to 15 million homes passed \[with fiber\],” CEO **Mike Sievert** said during the company’s first quarter earnings call Thursday. “On top of 12 million \[fixed wireless access\] customers – that's a pretty substantial footprint.” T-Mobile currently serves just under 7 million fixed wireless subscribers and aims to reach 12 million by 2028\. 

T-Mobile invested approximately $950 million for a 50% equity stake in Lumos and all existing fiber customers. Lumos operates a 7,500-mile fiber network, providing high-speed connectivity to 475,000 homes across the Mid-Atlantic. The joint venture aims to expand this reach to 3.5 million homes by the end of 2028.

In the first quarter, the company reported[ 424,000 high-speed internet customer](https://investor.t-mobile.com/events-and-presentations/news/news-details/2025/T-Mobile-Leads-the-Industry-Once-Again-With-Continued-Durable-Customer-Growth-Including-Best-Ever-Q1-Postpaid-Gross-and-Net-Additions-Translating-to-Outstanding-Financial-Growth/default.aspx?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) additions bringing its fixed wireless access total to 6.8 million. On the mobile side, T-Mobile added 495,000 postpaid phone accounts, outpacing [AT&T](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/at-t-passes-29-5m-fiber-locations-in-q1/) and [Verizon](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/verizon-says-buildouts-safe-from-tariffs/). Verizon still leads in mobile customers with 146 million mobile customers to T-Mobile’s 130 million.

Asked whether the company can sustain this pace of growth, Sievert responded, “Q1 was an all-time record in terms of postpaid net additions and gross additions for T-Mobile.”

Sievert also announced that T-Mobile’s commercial satellite service will begin in July, with pricing set at $10 per month. It will be included for free in some T-Mobile’s plans, and Sievert said T-Mobile would honor the $10 price point for AT&T and Verizon customers as well.

The company has already rolled out the beta version of T-Satellite. The service seamlessly connects smartphones from terrestrial to satellite networks, with hundreds of thousands of active customers already using it and over a million messages delivered.

In a separate acquisition, T-Mobile is pursuing a [$4.4 billion ](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/t-mobile-uscellular-pitch-merger-to-fcc/) acquisition of UScellular assets, including 4 million customers, 30% of UScellular’s spectrum, and more than 2,000 wireless towers.

Total revenue for the company rose 7% year-over-year to $20.9 billion, T-Mobile’s strongest Q1 growth in four years. Net income grew 24% to $3.0 billion, marking T-Mobile’s best-ever Q1 profit.
