These telecommunications giants have established themselves as industry leaders, each offering a wide range of services and network coverage across the United States. Whether you're looking for fast data speeds, reliable call quality, or extensive coverage in both urban and rural areas, T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T have emerged as frontrunners.
FCC Creates Interactive Map
The creation of an interactive map by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allows users to compare the coverage offered by different cell providers. This map lets people quickly assess the extent and quality of cellular network coverage provided by various service providers.
Which provider has the best coverage?
When considering coverage across the country, Verizon and AT&T have got it covered the most. Verizon blankets around 55.05% of the country, while AT&T is right there with them at 55.11%. However, Verizon has some coverage gaps in Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, and Kentucky, according to the FCC’s data. AT&T's gaps are primarily observed in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
Meanwhile, according to the FCC, T-Mobile has a coverage of approximately 35.3% nationwide. Interestingly, T-Mobile's coverage appears stronger in the eastern half of the country compared to the western regions. While T-Mobile may have some room for improvement out west, it still offers significant coverage in many areas, providing reliable connectivity to a large portion of the population.
Which provider has the best 5G coverage?
In the race for the fastest 5G coverage (measured by the FCC for 5G-NR at a speed of 35/3 Mbps), T-Mobile emerges as the better provider. Among the three major providers, T-Mobile takes the crown for having the broadest geographic coverage. When it comes to delivering high-speed 5G to a larger coverage of areas, T-Mobile outshines the competition.
