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.

The coverage information for Pierce is rated as low confidence. Be sure to consult coverage maps closely before purchasing service and consider talking with neighbors about their experiences with cell phone service in the local area. Documentation is available elsewhere covering limitations of Coverage Critic's approach.
