4G LTE & 5G Coverage In Media

The table below shows the proportion of Media with coverage from different cellular technologies.

Network	4G Coverage	5G Coverage
AT&T	100%	95%
T-Mobile	100%	100%
Verizon	100%	100%
Dish	0%	100%

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

Media Cell Signal Strength

There are 20 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Media. 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	50%	50%	0%	0%
T-Mobile	60%	40%	0%	0%
Verizon	35%	60%	5%	0%
Dish	0%	50%	50%	0%

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