4G LTE & 5G Coverage In Atlanta

The table below shows the proportion of Atlanta with coverage from different cellular technologies.

Network	4G Coverage	5G Coverage
AT&T	100%	99%
T-Mobile	100%	96%
Verizon	100%	98%

Don't be alarmed by Dish's lack of 4G coverage in Atlanta. Dish has a newly-built network that's 5G-only.

US Cellular And Dish Roaming Coverage

US Cellular does not have native coverage in Atlanta. However, some US Cellular subscribers may still have coverage in Atlanta thanks to roaming agreements.

The 96% figure for Dish may understate what subscribers in Atlanta experience after accounting for roaming agreements.

Atlanta Cell Signal Strength

There are 3,544 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Atlanta. The table below shows the proportion of hexes at various levels of signal strength. Where both 4G and 5G coverage is available, data is drawn from whichever technology offers a stronger signal.

Network	Strong	Decent	Weak	None
AT&T	21%	53%	26%	0%
T-Mobile	42%	48%	10%	0%
Verizon	27%	57%	15%	0%
Dish	10%	69%	17%	4%

For most purposes, decent signals are perfectly sufficient. Weak or non-existent signals cause far greater degradation in user experience.
