Network Quality Driving Customer Additions
T-Mobile’s network investments are translating directly into subscriber gains.

Strategic Capex Boost
To sustain its growth and expand network superiority, T-Mobile has raised its 2025 capital expenditure target to approximately $10 billion, up by $500 million. This investment supports continued 5G expansion, fiber rollout, and new technology deployments.
The operator also increased its 2025 guidance for postpaid customer additions to 7.2–7.4 million, up from 6.1–6.4 million, and raised its target for fiber net additions to 130,000 from the earlier 100,000.
