T-Mobile 5G Coverage Map

Today I’m going over WHY T-Mobile is kicking BUTT in the 5G race and why it might just be a moment in time. https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones...

First, hands down T-Mobile has the most 5G coverage in the country, but the catch is that it's definitely NOT the fastest. https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones...

What is 5G: https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones...
I’ll quickly go over 5G incase you don’t know what it is… you can learn more about it in these videos up this corner here.
Basically 5G is the next evolution in mobile internet. Just like LTE, 4G, 3G and 2G before it, each generation is faster and faster which allows us to do more with our mobile phones! Woo! Most 5G signals are higher frequency than other signals which helps your data move more quickly through the inter-web. Some people are worried about 5G signals being dangerous… but i debunk that theory and go over why they AREN'T in my 5G conspiracy theory vid up here.

What is T-Mobile 5G
So you have a basic understanding of what 5G is… how does T-Mobile’s 5G fit into the picture?? Where other carriers 5G signals are super high-frequency, T-Mobile’s 5G 600MHz band is lower frequency which means it’s faster than 4G LTE but not as fast as Verizon or AT&T’s 5G signal. So if it’s not as fast what’s the point??? The POINT is that it can travel much further. Now all my techy people out there, yes i’m dumbing this down a smidge. But you get the basic gist.
The way T-Mobile is setting up their 5G is also why its 5g coverage is so much larger than Verizon or AT&T. T-Mobile isn’t building a whole new network like Verizon and AT&T.. they’re building off of their current network attaching the 600MHz 5G signal to CURRENT 4G LTE towers. This lets tmobile quickly and efficiently create a stronger faster signal than they’ve ever had before, and allows them to be the front runner in the 5G coverage race.
Now i’ll briefly mention that T-Mobile has inherited Sprint’s 5G mid-range band, but they’re aren’t focusing on that right now, and instead putting most, if not all, of their effort into their low-band 5G.

5G Coverage and Speed
So how much 5G does T-Mobile actually have??? This is pretty exciting while mutually not super exciting… here’s why. T-Mobile has the MOST 5G coverage in the country covering 30% of the United States with their low-band 600MHz. The only caveat here is that T-Mobile’s 5G is not as fast at as the others… for instance l who tested all the carriers 5G found the average T-Mobile 5G speed was about 50Mbps while verizon's average speed was 500 Mpbs... so FOR NOW they are winning because more people can access it, however even as soon as next year T-Mobiles 5G network *COULD pale in comparison once the Verizon and AT&T 5G networks get up and running on a wider scale.
BTW I just published a video on Verizon’s coverage here (point) and AT&T’s is coming next. So subscribe and turn on the notifications so you don’t miss that!

Which States have most coverage
The top states for T-Mobile 5G coverage are:
1. New Jersey 74%
2. Minnesota 63.6%
3. Oklahoma 63.3%
4. Indiana 61.9%
5. Louisiana 59.4%
The top 5 WORST states for T-Mobile 5G coverage are:
1. Alaska 0%
2. Nebraska 4.8%
3. New Hampshire 15%
4. Vermont 16.5%
5. Delaware 16.8%
Top 10 Cities with 100% coverage:
1. MILWAUKEE WI
2. BELOIT WI
3. MADISON WI
4. SINSINAWA WI
5. GREEN BAY WI
6. STEVENS POINT WI
7. OSHKOSH WI
8. APPLETON WI
9. IOLA WI
10. BUTTE DES MORTS WI

These are the most populated cities, but in total there are 3,888 cities that have full 5G coverage for T-Mobile. That’s a total of 9,156 zip codes with full coverage and nearly 30K zip codes with partial coverage.

But really 5G right now is pretty useless. well it might as well be a chia pet. It’s there… but we’re not really going to be able to see the difference it makes for a WHILE. We need more coverage, and we need more phones that can access it (that don’t cost an arm and a leg).
But if you’re with t-mobile, have a capable phone, and live in one of the top covered states… go for it! For the majority of us though… 5G is still just a fun idea.
