Wilson Cell Signal Strength

There are 885 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Wilson. 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	2%	58%	39%	0%
T-Mobile	19%	68%	13%	0%
Verizon	19%	69%	13%	0%

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

The coverage information for Wilson is rated as medium confidence. While the model is probably accurate, consider double-checking by consulting neighbors or checking coverage maps before signing up for a cell phone plan. Documentation is available elsewhere covering limitations of Coverage Critic's approach.
