Who has the Best Cellular Data Speeds?

A brand new cellular coverage map can help you choose which cellular network operators has the best coverage where you live. All of the cellular network operators provide their own coverage map, showing where they have coverage, but these are notoriously inaccurate.

CoverageMap.com aims to overcome the inaccuracies of the network's own maps by creating a coverage map which includes user submitted data. The map allows cell phone users to compare the data speeds and signal strength of the different cellular networks operating where they live to find out which ones offer the best download and upload speeds.

Using CoverageMap's filter controls you can choose between Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Dish Wireless and US Cellular to view their coverage across all areas of the United States. When you select a carrier their data speeds are then visualized on the map using different colored hexagons. Click on a hexagon and you can view the average download and upload speeds of the carrier in that area. You can then use the filter control to discover the average download and upload speeds of all the other network operators in the same area.

If you live outside the United States then you can check OpenSignal instead. OpenSignal provides cellular coverage maps for many countries around the world (including the USA). The OpenSignal coverage maps are based on data speeds provided by OpenSignal app users around the world.
