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 | 100% | 97% |
| Dish | 0% | 100% |
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.
Millimeter Wave 5G
Parts of Dallas have millimeter wave 5G coverage. This novel celluar technology offers extremely fast speeds, but the coverage potential is limited. Millimeter waves aren't well-suited for traveling long distances.
| Network | Millimeter Wave |
|---|---|
| Verizon | ✓ |
| AT&T | ✓ |
| T-Mobile | ✓ |
Millimeter wave coverage in Dallas is likely sparse (mostly limited to dense, outdoor areas like popular parks or sports stadiums).
Dallas Cell Signal Strength
There are 8,457 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 | 23% | 66% | 11% | 0% |
| T-Mobile | 54% | 41% | 6% | 0% |
| Verizon | 42% | 56% | 2% | 0% |
| Dish | 10% | 82% | 8% | 0% |
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, 969 hexes in Dallas that fall in bodies water, along rivers, or near shorelines are excluded from the table above.
