Fairplay Cell Signal Strength
There are 25 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Fairplay. 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 | 0% | 84% | 16% | 0% |
| T-Mobile | 0% | 48% | 48% | 4% |
| Verizon | 64% | 36% | 0% | 0% |
For most purposes, decent signals are perfectly sufficient. Weak or non-existent signals cause far greater degradation in user experience.

Colorado State-Wide Coverage Scores
| Network | Coverage Score |
|---|---|
| Verizon | 6.7 / 10 |
| AT&T | 6.5 / 10 |
| T-Mobile | 6.1 / 10 |
Cell phone service in Colorado tends to be lackluster in comparison to service in most of the rest of the U.S. Congestion is sometimes a problem in the Denver metro area, and coverage tends to be spotty in mountainous areas. Verizon and AT&T tend to be preferable to T-Mobile for people who regularly ski or hike in the mountains. However, no carriers have great coverage throughout the Rocky Mountains.
Data Sourcing
Coverage maps draw on data from the FCC's Broadband Data Collection and Coverage Critic's crowdsourcing.
