AT&T Wins.
When you take a look at the coverage maps for Massachusetts taking in account 4G and 5G, AT&T provides absolutely the best coverage in the state, not by a lot, however.
Verizon and close second, followed by T-Mobile.
Massachusetts 4G Coverage
Network | Zip Codes Covered | Geographic Area Covered m2 |

AT&T | 522 | 8,337 |
Verizon | 522 | 7,927 |
T-Mobile | 521 | 7,865 |
Massachusetts 5G Coverage
Verizon 5G coverage is pretty much non-existent west of Worcester, while T-Mobile is definitely much better especially in Berkshire County and in the Pioneer Valley.
AT&T, though, once again is leader in cell phone coverage in Massachusetts when it comes to 5G. Coverage is not perfect, but massively better than Verizon, according to moneysavingpro.com.
