Summary
SuperBroadband is now available nationwide, combining T-Mobile’s 5G network with Starlink to give businesses a fully managed primary-and-backup internet service.
Automatic failover across multiple connection paths is designed to keep operations running during outages and extend coverage to remote and rural U.S. locations.
T-Mobile is pitching the service as a simpler alternative to juggling multiple providers, contracts and tools—an issue one study found can mean more than 20 ISPs across enterprise locations.
The launch targets a costly pain point for businesses: downtime averages more than $100,000 per hour across industries, according to International Data Corporation.
