One month after T-Mobile launched mid-band 2.5GHz 5G in more than 120 new cities, it’s expanding that 5G coverage again.

T-Mo today activated its mid-band 5G in nearly 200 additional cities and towns. This means that T-Mobile has nearly doubled its mid-band 5G coverage in one month, now reaching a total of nearly 410 cities across the US.

Some of the cities getting new mid-band 2.5GHz 5G today include New Haven, CT; Schaumburg, IL: Hoboken, NJ; Knoxville, TN; and Richmond, VA. The full list of new T-Mobile mid-band 5G cities is available at the bottom of this post.

Looking ahead, T-Mo says that it’s activating mid-band 5G on 1,000 sites per month. It plans to cover 100 million people with 2.5GHz 5G by the end of 2020, which would be a significant increase from the 25 million that are covered today.

Mid-band 5G offers faster speeds than the low-band 600MHz 5G that T-Mobile uses for its nationwide coverage while reaching farther and penetrating buildings better than millimeter wave 5G. With mid-band 5G, average download speeds on T-Mobile are reaching 300Mbps.

You will need a phone that supports mid-band 5G to access this new coverage. There are now many of them available from T-Mobile, including the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy S20 series and S20 FE, Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, OnePlus 8T+ 5G, OnePlus 8 5G, OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren, and the LG Velvet and V60.
