Wireless Data Coverage

Back to Telecom Page​

Wireless data speed varies by contractor and area served. NO contractor provides high speed data throughout the state. Coverage maps are an approximation of vendor data coverage. Actual coverage/speed may vary. Service may be limited or interrupted due to distance from towers, topography, being indoors, environmental changes, customer equipment, network limitations, etc.

Networks are backward/forward compatible, meaning who normally experience EVDO, HSPA, and LTE speeds may temporarily revert to CMDA and EDGE speeds when in an area served only by CMDA or EDGE.

The speeds below are average. Peak rates can be higher, but are not listed because they vary due to real world network conditions (weather, topography, in/out of building, etc).
