Verizon offers the most coverage in Georgia, though it offers the least amount of high-speed coverage. That means it’s a good option for customers who value reliable connectivity over high-bandwidth activities, like videoconferencing and gaming.

Verizon 4G Coverage in Georgia

Verizon operates the largest 4G LTE network in the Peach State, with a total network coverage area of 93%. That’s a massive number, one that will all but guarantee you’ll be covered throughout the state. Like AT&T, coverage is stronger in large cities and their surrounding suburbs, though Verizon 4G is also strong in less populated areas like Valdosta, Albany, and Rome.

Verizon 5G Coverage in Georgia

Verizon’s 5G network is the smallest in Georgia, with a coverage map that reaches just under 10% of the state. The good news is that most of that coverage area includes 5G Ultra-Wideband, which offers extra fast service and minimal lag. 

Verizon 5G is mostly concentrated in the state’s urban enclaves, with the most reliable coverage in and around Atlanta, Athens, Columbus, Macon, and Savannah. Service is weaker and often not available in the southern half of the state, with significant dead zones running from the coast to the Alabama state line.

AT&T provides solid coverage in Georgia, though the competition beats it in both 4G and 5G: AT&T’s 4G LTE network is second behind Verizon’s, while its 5G network trails T-Mobile’s.

AT&T 4G Coverage in Georgia

AT&T’s 4G network covers over 82% of Georgia and offers the strongest service in the state’s metropolitan areas, like Atlanta, Augusta, Athens, Columbus, Macon, and Savannah. The carrier’s 4G service is weakest in the west of the state, between Columbus and Macon, where calls might occasionally be lost.

AT&T 5G Coverage in Georgia

The AT&T 5G network covers 47% of the state, half of which includes 5G+, AT&T’s super-fast service that promises minimal latency. AT&T 5G (and especially 5G+) is mostly limited to Georgia’s larger urban areas, like Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah. While the carrier’s 5G coverage map includes service outside of those metro areas, service is considerably weaker and won’t include 5G+.

AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile may be the largest cell phone carriers in the country, but they’re not the only ones. There are plenty of smaller carriers, called MVNOs, that operate on the Big Three networks and provide discounted coverage to their customers. 

If you don’t need all the luxuries of an unlimited data plan, then an MVNO (like Mint Mobile or Boost Mobile) might be the best way for you to score access to the AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile network for cheap. You can check out some of the most popular MVNOs below:
