"T-Mobile USA\u00A0announced on Wednesday the next phase of the operator\u2019s \u201CUncarrier\u201D business model with a bold offer to pay customer\u2019s early termination fees when switching from competing carriers AT&amp;amp;amp;T, Sprint and Verizon.\r\n\r\nT-Mobile says it will pay up to $350 in fees per line for up to five lines and pay up to $300 extra\u00A0for trade-ins of subsidized devices. The offer isn't a promotion, as T-Mobile plans to make this a permanent. Word of T-Mobile's plan\u00A0leaked out\u00A0earlier this week.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;What we are going to do is force the industry to get healthier.\u00A0I want every customer to have constant complete choice,&amp;quot; T-Mobile CEO John Legere said.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for a cheeky way to leave your existing carrier, T-Mobile has created a break-up letter template\u00A0for you to send.\r\n\r\nThe carrier kicked off its Uncarrier initiative last March with its Simple Choice unlimited plan. Last July, it introduced the Jump upgrade plan for customers. In October, T-Mobile announced free international data and free tablet data for life.\r\n\r\nAt its CES press event, T-Mobile continued its \u201CCatch Jeremy\u201D advertising campaign with a video of Legere dropping off a $74,787 giant check from T-Mobile at an AT&amp;amp;amp;T store to pay for Jeremy\u2019s overseas data usage.\r\n\r\nT-Mobile also touted its 4G LTE network as the fastest in the country with a reach of 209 million people in 273 metro areas. The claim is based on millions of points of crowdsourced real-time data from Speedtest.net. nIn the month of December, T-Mobile\u2019s Speedtest average was 17.8 Mbps, compared to 14.7 Mbps from AT&amp;amp;amp;T, 14.3 Mbps from Verizon and 7.9 Mbps from Sprint.\r\n\r\n\u201CWhat we have now is a no-apology network,\u201D Legere said, adding that it\u2019s only going to get better.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe firm is also launching its 20+20MHz LTE Wideband LTE service, starting in Dallas with peak download speeds of 147Mbps.\u00A0New devices coming to T-Mobile include the LG G Flex, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and the Sony Xperia Z1s.\r\n\r\nLegere revealed that T-Mobile had 869,000 postpaid net customer additions in the fourth quarter of 2013, making it the best quarter in eight years. For the whole year, the company had 4.4 million net new customers."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
