Summary

  • SuperBroadband is now available as a managed business internet service that combines T-Mobile’s 5G network with Starlink to provide redundant nationwide connectivity.
  • Two independent connection paths—5G and satellite—automatically back each other up during outages, targeting businesses where downtime can cost more than $100,000 an hour, according to IDC.
  • The service is pitched as the first nationwide broadband offering to reach every U.S. ZIP code, including remote and rural sites that often lack a second traditional provider.
  • One contract, one bill and T-Mobile-backed support are paired with a 99.99% uptime guarantee and T-Platform tools for monitoring hardware, performance, usage and failover readiness.
