🤓 Technical Notes
-
Metrics with high zoom: Zoom in for the most detailed picture. At the highest zoom levels (i.e., viewing the smallest hexagons),
the Winner and Difference views show signal strength comparisons between Cricket Wireless and Mint Mobile.
-
Metrics with low zoom: When zoomed out (i.e., viewing larger hexagons), comparisons are usually based on
coverage percentage within each hex. Signal strength is only compared when both Cricket Wireless and
Mint Mobile have 100% coverage of a hex. ⓘ
-
Real-world relevance: When comparing Cricket Wireless and Mint Mobile signal strength,
the map's difference view uses predicted RSRP values but colors hexagons based on expected real-world impact. A difference between -125 dBm
and -100 dBm (poor to fair) has greater visual impact than a difference between -90 dBm and -65 dBm (excellent to especially excellent).
Data Sourcing
Cell coverage data for Cricket Wireless and Mint Mobile comes largely from the May 2025 release of the FCC's Broadband Data Collection program
(representing networks as of December 2024) with supplementation from massive crowdsourcing efforts.
