4G LTE & 5G Coverage In Dallas
The table below shows the proportion of Dallas with coverage from different cellular technologies.| Network | 4G Coverage | 5G Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| AT&T | 100% | 100% |
| T-Mobile | 100% | 99% |
| Verizon | 99% | 97% |
| Dish | 0% | 82% |
Don't be alarmed by Dish's lack of 4G coverage in Dallas. Dish has a newly-built network that's 5G-only.
US Cellular And Dish Roaming Coverage
US Cellular does not have native coverage in Dallas. However, some US Cellular subscribers may still have coverage in Dallas thanks to roaming agreements.
The 82% figure for Dish may understate what subscribers in Dallas experience after accounting for roaming agreements.
Dallas Cell Signal Strength
There are 208 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Dallas. 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 | 7% | 47% | 46% | 0% |
| T-Mobile | 23% | 55% | 22% | 0% |
| Verizon | 15% | 66% | 18% | 1% |
| Dish | 16% | 43% | 23% | 18% |
For most purposes, decent signals are perfectly sufficient. Weak or non-existent signals cause far greater degradation in user experience.
