I love Sprint and generally have no trouble using it throughout the Los Angeles Area from Pasadena to the West Side or to the Valley. But when it comes to Altadena it very poor. Its been poor for years and unlike other carriers like Verizon or T-Mobile, Sprint can't or won't solve the problem.

I used to live in Eagle Rock using Sprint with no problems. Moved to Altadena hills area, and it's known around the block that this area is a dead zone for phone reception. My landlord and roomate have Verizon, and receive spotty connection, but it's better than nothing. Sprint is 0% unless I drive a mile from the house down into the lower parts of lake. I'm switching to Verizon.

No signal with Sprint in the neighborhood. 2-3 bars when I force the phone into roaming. Very frustrating as not all services are available when roaming.

No reception at my house on Holliston and Palm unless I stand on the roof. Reception is spotty north of Altadena Drive.

Phone essentially useless at my home drops every call within 30 sec. Service has gotten notably worse during the first half of 2006

Signal often drops, can't use my mobile phone at home, in the hills of Altadena, CA. Don't know if the phone or the company is to blame.

Horrible reception at home in Altadena, Horrible reception at work in Pasadena.
