T-Mobile's LTE network now covers 180 million people in 154 markets

The T-Mobile US LTE network now covers 180 million people in 154 markets, which is perhaps notably impressive because T-Mobile US only began construction six months ago. 

The carrier first launched its LTE  in just seven markets back in March 2013. As network construction projects go, that's fast. 

On the other hand, it arguably is deceptive to show coverage maps such as this, which is "not (my emphasis) representative of LTE coverage," according to T-Mobile US itself. True the disclaimer is at the bottom of the map, so the image is not legally deceptive. It just is an effort to persuade that unfortunately is untruthful.
