Horrible reception in the last year. Cell tower went down and its never been the same. Just tried a call outside and it was dropped three times. Called someone earlier and I tried not to move. Dropped it again. Poor customer service. They just pass you off from person to person. It's 2017, not 1917. AT&T is a Joke.

Not sure what ATT is now doing. They can't hide behind snow and weather because we are in the summer months. Here at home I use wifi calling because cell service quality and signal strength are all over the map. In talking with ATT their customer service people seem well intended but their information about coverage and known issues is erroneous at best. I can call several times in one day and get different answers to the problem. That just tells me they really have no idea what's going on here. If I kept track of outages and service issues and billed ATT back for failing to deliver service I would owe them virtually nothing on a monthly basis.

Verizon has a major and ongoing problem in this area, especially with data. This has been going on for several years now. Signal levels are low and fluctuate, and phones will jump from 1X to LTE and back again. Internet connections are useless and call reception is spotty. After working for over an hour with their techs to try to locate the problem they finally confirmed that there is a known issue here, likely with tower placement. AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are all fine.

In the house: no reception, no internet, no text. Out in the street: sometimes I can make a call, but that's it! My mother has Verizon and her phone works perfectly for voice calls, but no internet or text. My step dad has ATT and he can make voice calls also, but they often drop out shortly after he answers a call. No internet or text.

I get very little to no reception for my Virgin Mobile that runs on Sprint network. Even with a cell booster from Wilson Electronics reception is spotty at best. I also can not find a Femtocell for V-Mobile or Sprint system (which would run via internet). I am about to ditch the service.

I have had several TMobile phones while living in South Lake Tahoe. Most, if not all stores up here have stopped selling TMobile phones and refill cards due to the terrible coverage. Don't ask TMobile about coverage in this area unless you want erroneous information. They will tell you that there is very good coverage... ... ... There are many places within the main business corridor that there is little to NO service... ... .STAY CLEAR
