T-Mobile`s disputed message of superior reliability over 4G couldn’t be supported, NARB concluded, “as T-Mobile’s 5G network does not equal or surpass its own 4G coverage or that of competitors." According to the panel, more insight about network performance beyond coverage should be considered for the claim that no 5G network is more reliable than T-Mobile’s, but the operator “offered no such support for its 5G network reliability claims, parity or otherwise,” so NARB recommended discontinuing it.To T-Mobile’s benefit, NARB deviated from one aspect of NAD’s decision, finding that claims about its commanding 5G coverage over peers – which NAD found generally to be true – didn’t imply overall network superiority. Meaning that when T-Mobile touts better 5G coverage than its competitors, it doesn’t have to disclose other significant differences between its own network and rivals’, such as speed.Low-band 5G networks like T-Mobile’s were initially getting 4G-like speeds, while mmWave has shown significantly faster performance albeit with limited reach. However, with work to bolster its 5G network with key 2.5 GHz spectrum, T-Mobile has said speeds are increasing as well and that its mid-band 5G service can deliver downloads around 300 Mbps and peak speeds up to 1 Gbps.NARB said that T-Mobile didn’t provide any evidence to show how often its 5G network is available in places like cellars, parking garages or elevators. Therefore, it wants the operator to stop advertising claims that imply its 5G service is generally available in places that historically have poor cellular coverage, or at least clearly disclose what a typical T-Mobile 5G performance is like in those areas.Verizon itself this year was told by NAD to discontinue or modify some 5G claims, including related to coverage, but could keep messages related to “speeds 10x faster” than T-Mobile’s. T-Mobile, meanwhile, while told to tone down claims that made network benefits from its merger with Sprint seem imminent. -- ???????? | |||
