Good to know

What does "5G seen" mean?

At least one phone has reported a 5G signal at that site, from any carrier. It comes from OpenCelliD, where phones log the cell they're connected to and what kind of radio it is. It's evidence, not a guarantee. A site without the label may still have 5G: many phones on 5G report the 4G cell they're anchored to, so 5G is undercounted, most of all for Verizon and AT&T. And it doesn't say which kind of 5G. Low-band 5G reaches about as far as 4G, mid-band about a mile, and millimeter-wave about a block.

How far does a cell tower reach?

It depends on the band and the terrain. Low-band signals can carry 10 to 30 miles over open country; in a city a site typically serves a mile or two. Mid-band 5G usually covers about a mile, and millimeter-wave 5G only a block or so. Hills, trees and building walls cut all of these down.

The nearest tower is close, so why is my signal bad?

Your carrier may not be on that tower. Antennas also point in sectors, so a tower can be close but aimed away from you. Metal roofs, low-E windows and concrete block a lot of signal indoors. Check which carriers have been seen on the towers nearest you, not just how close they are.
