It would be a nice if they would put their tower(s) locations and their range circle on the site. That would at least give a running start if they can get a signal to the destination.

I'd rather not need to sign up to find this information out.

You don't actually need to sign up to tell if you are in range.

Just check out the "Available now" section in the zip code drop down on the sign-up form.

Ok, that wasn't intuitive from the form, it looked like you wanted a ton of info before I got to the zipcode. Maybe a hint on that page to look. Thanks!

19118 is listed as “later” but what does that realistically mean? Too many trees towering over rooftops in Chestnut Hill to provide coverage to most residents?

The tower is probably in a pretty dense area. If they start listing it people would probably freak out no?
