The table below shows the proportion of Delaware with coverage from different cellular technologies.
Network4G Coverage5G Coverage
AT&T100%100%
T-Mobile100%100%

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

US Cellular And Dish Roaming Coverage

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

The 9% figure for Dish may understate what subscribers in Delaware experience after accounting for roaming agreements.

Delaware Cell Signal Strength

There are 14 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Delaware. 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.

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