I love Verizon! It's more reliable than my comcast connection, so I canceled comcast and I just tether my Thunderbolt for Internet. I'm glad foco finally has 4g! Couldn't be happier.

TMobile is darn near perfect. I've used Sprint and AT&T in the past and been disappointing with dropped calls all over town. I wish T-Mobile had a better selection of phones, but if you want to go for what matters (coverage, AND customer service) its a No Brainier - TMobile is #1 in the Fort.

It really varies alot around town. My new house is actually better than my old one was by City park. I regularly get some garbling of my caller's voice and have to listen carefully and ask them to repeat things often. Verizon must have discontinued a few towers on the north end of town in the last year or 2 because it used to be better.

Sprint has caused me a few headaches over the past year... . with both phones I have used I drop calls all over northern colorado - I'd say updwards of 10%, and on more than one occassion I have not been able to make a call for up to a half hour (most often when I am near CSU or especially near Hughes Stadium near a game - basically anywhere that Sprints tower might be getting some exercise) Particular Problem Areas are: 1) Prospect and Shields / Prospect and Taft Hill area 2) Laporte and Shields (city park area) 3) Mulberry between College and Shields... on more than one occassion I've been unable to maintain a connection for more than 10 seconds before being dropped over and over - perhaps tower work? I wouldn't report it, but Its happened to me at least 3 times in the past 6 months, during which time I've had 2 different phones. Strangely enough, no problems with Sprint south of Longmont or in about a dozen other larger cities around the country to which I travel. They need to update their infastructure up here - for now I'd stick with TMobile or Cingular, used both in the past in the Fort Collins area with very few problems. Good luck!

Mountain St.West of Shields has poor reception (1 or 2 bars). Sometimes by standing outside or in the street we can get up to 3 bars. There is a tower at the BBall diamonds 4 blocks from us, but not clear if Verizon uses this, and it does not help us.

In most of Fort Collins my reception is good (4 to 5 bars), but on the north end of town there are lots of drop outs, static, two bars at best.

The AT&T reception in this area is a bit spotty but generally alright EXCEPT in my office where it is non-existent. I have to go outside the building to get or make calls. While apparently Verizon's service is, overall, crappy around here apparently it is pretty good in my office.

I've had Verizon for about 8 years and never had a problem until I moved here from Virginia. I've spoken with my neighbors, and virtually no one on my block gets decent cell reception, when they get any at all. This is especially frustrating because I was hoping to get the new iPhone soon, but I don't even see the point in getting such an expensive phone if it's virtually useless. From people's comments, there's no point in even switching to Sprint, which I was tempted to do for their unlimited plan. Come on, cell phone companies. Shape up and realize your southwestern customers are unhappy.

Terrible reception with AT&T. Reception is completely unreliable. I sometimes go 3 hours with out being able to call or receive calls especially during dinner hours. Brutal service and I get 4 bars on the phone. Dropped calls are routine.

Rarely complete a call. Bars go from "searching" to 3 to 1 to 2 and back and forth constantly. AT&T wants me to pay $99 plus $20 / month for a home tower.

Just west of Poudre Valley Hospital, I get at best 2 bars, usually 1. At East Prospect Rd. and Prospect Parkway, No Service. Colleagues with T-Mobile and Verizon can walk through the office talking comfortably on their cellphones when needed; I have to rush outside to catch a call. AT&T, can you PLEASE add a tower near us???

Many many dropped calls from this area and poor reception overall. Verizon should be ashamed of this, it is a highly populated area about 1.5 miles from downtown Ft. Collins.

I moved here a few months ago from georgia and my reception has always been perfect in georgia... all the way here... . and fort collins! Since Verizon bought out alot of Alltel stores you get to benefit from using towers from both companys without roaming fees! They also have really good calling plans! I have heard you have to go to wyoming for the nearest store... ..but it would definitly be worth the drive! Check out alltel..you wont be disappointed!

I dont have bad reception, unless I am in the mall and sometimes in my lower level of my house. I dont think Cingular customer service is very professional though.

Although my phone shows 3 to 4 bars, GSM reception is of very poor quality in this area. Calls are full of static, there is a voice delay between callers so you have to wait before responding so you do not talk over the person you are trying to have a conversation with. Overall recetion and quality is marginal at best--does anyone have any suggestions?
