4G LTE & 5G Coverage In Chattanooga
The table below shows the proportion of Chattanooga with coverage from different cellular technologies.| Network | 4G Coverage | 5G Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| AT&T | 100% | 98% |
| T-Mobile | 99% | 97% |
| Verizon | 100% | 89% |
| Dish | 0% | 97% |
Don't be alarmed by Dish's lack of 4G coverage in Chattanooga. Dish has a newly-built network that's 5G-only.
US Cellular And Dish Roaming Coverage
US Cellular does not have native coverage in Chattanooga. However, some US Cellular subscribers may still have coverage in Chattanooga thanks to roaming agreements.
The 97% figure for Dish may understate what subscribers in Chattanooga experience after accounting for roaming agreements.
Chattanooga Cell Signal Strength
There are 3,887 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Chattanooga. 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 | 14% | 58% | 27% | 0% |
| T-Mobile | 26% | 62% | 12% | 1% |
| Verizon | 22% | 64% | 14% | 0% |
| Dish | 15% | 66% | 16% | 3% |
For most purposes, decent signals are perfectly sufficient. Weak or non-existent signals cause far greater degradation in user experience.
Due to data-reliability concerns, 200 hexes in Chattanooga that fall in bodies water, along rivers, or near shorelines are excluded from the table above.
