And so we kind of double clicked into that. Because you kind of have to do that as a competitor to figure out, is this going to come from us or what’s going on. And it’s kind of interesting, you fast forward to this quarter. And I’ll remind you that even in a world where cable is now a pretty big share taker in overall postpaid, T-Mobile produced the highest postpaid phone net additions for Q2 in eight years and not only the lowest churn ever in our history, but the lowest in the industry. And that kind of answers a question as to whether or not this dynamic from cable is coming from our side, right? I mean we’re performing better than before they were in the industry. But obviously, there’s a dynamic that affects others, both of our two look-a-like competitors, plus prepaid.
There’s a lot of brands that have been affected by this, and they’re viable competitors to be taken seriously. But it’s just, as you can see in our performance, not affecting our results. Okay. John, do we — what do we have coming in online?
Jud Henry: We’ve got a question from Roger Entner on how strong was the business growth this quarter. Maybe we can and tee that one up. And then we’ve got a follow-on question around enterprise sector as well so we can hit those.
Mike Sievert: Okay. Great. So Roger Entner asked how strong was business growth this quarter. Can you talk about the VA? And any additional color on overall business growth. We also have Chetan Sharma (ph) coming in. Congrats on another great quarter. Thank you. I was wondering if you could provide some color on traction you’re seeing in the enterprise sector beyond connectivity. What about vertical industries, people using 5G, 5G advanced services, et cetera. So maybe, Callie, why don’t you start on both of those and anybody else can jump in.
Callie Field: Okay. Thanks, Mike. And thanks, Roger, and Chetan for the questions. As Mike mentioned earlier, we delivered on our highest phone net adds and lowest phone churn ever, handily being Verizon again. And we’re seeing profitable growth in all three segments. In SMB, we achieved positive port trends against AT&T and this makes five consecutive quarters against Verizon and we grew ARPU quarter-over-quarter again. As Mike mentioned in his opening remarks, in enterprise and in government, our business is good business with very profitable CLVs, but roughly 60% to 70% relative to consumer and they’re rising year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter. And Q2 for enterprise, for instance, we welcomed both the largest global asset management firm and yet another leading global bank as new accounts.
We also added two huge government contracts with the EPA and the IRS and continue to double our net adds quarter-over-quarter with first responders, most significantly in rural areas where an older LTE network just doesn’t cut it for critical response. So a lot of really good growth this quarter from an incredible team in the business group. And then for the VA question, if I could just take that one for a second. I wanted to say, as you may remember, we took Verizon share back in 2018. And now because of our network, we’ve taken the pole position and have added roughly 20,000 phones year-to-date supporting more than 50% of the VA phones today. And I’ll note to our contract also includes T-Mobile’s 5G Internet for the VAs community-based outpatient clinics.
So we’re able to provide health care for veterans in rural areas because of the network that we have built. So just wanted to add some clarity on the VA subject. And then one last thing on use cases for 5G applications outside of pure connectivity. I’ll start Chetan with some of the verticals where we’re seeing the most traction. And that would be in retail, where we many use cases for fixed 5G solutions where people are looking to look at better costs and less truck rolls and support or perhaps older wireline services and are replacing that with T-Mobile’s 5G in multiunit national retailers. And then in health care, this is another area where we’re seeing CTOs and CIOs from large hospitals come to us and say, look, we need ubiquitous connectivity, both indoor and outdoor.
