New York City runs on three major US networks, all deploying 5G across Manhattan and the outer boroughs. 5G Ultra Wideband covers large parts of Manhattan and key areas in Brooklyn and Queens.
Surface streets throughout Manhattan, from the Financial District to Washington Heights, have excellent 4G and 5G. Times Square, Midtown, the Upper West Side, and the Lower East Side all have dense network coverage. The MTA subway system is progressively rolling out 4G coverage.
As of 2026, most subway stations have 4G on the platforms. Signal drops in tunnel sections between stations, especially on older lines running under the older street grid. The outer boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx have solid 4G coverage in residential areas and commercial strips.
Staten Island has good 4G along the main North Shore and South Shore roads.
