NEW LONDON, Mo. (Jan. 26, 2021) – UScellular customers in northeast Missouri are now able to access the company’s 5G network. This initial deployment covers parts of northeast Missouri including Alexandria, Canton, Green City, Hannibal, Hurdland, Kirksville, La Plata, Lucerne, Macon, Milan, New Cambria, New London, Novinger, Palmyra, Pollock, Powersville, Shelbina and Unionville.

Other towns with access to 5G in Missouri include Branson, Columbia, Jefferson City and West Plains. Additional 5G coverage will be added to enhance the network experience for UScellular customers in Missouri in the future as part of the company’s multi-year expansion for 5G.

“UScellular customers in northeast Missouri will have access to even faster data connection speeds for a better experience on city streets, country roads and in their homes,” said Joe Cabrera, director of sales for UScellular in Missouri. “We encourage our new and current customers to check out the growing number of 5G smartphones and connected devices in our portfolio so they can benefit as we expand our 5G network.”
