Most cellular providers have very poor service in this area. Reception is anywhere from none to 1-2 bars. I figure out of all the carriers Verizon would have the best seeings it the nations "largest network". I hate to say it, but the only carrier I was happy with is Nextel. Only the Nextel phones (NOT SPRINT / HYBRID PHONES) had 4-5 bars of reception. unfortunately ever since the merger the billing dept at sprint / nextel I guess isn't good with numbers. before the merger I never had a problem with billing, after I was charged as much as $120.00 EXTRA! They could never tell me why, all they could say was they would deduct it from the next bill (NEVER DID!) Other then Verizons Reception in the Haddam / Higganum area i am very pleased with the service, phones, and the knowledgeable sales staff at most of the Verizon owned stores. I don prefer Wireless Zone in Middletown or East Hampton the best

very broken connection from here to 3 miles north and south. I do use my phone as a tether (as a modem for my PC) and works ok that way not great, many disconnects, average connection time maybe around 30 min, can reconnect quickly, but connection speed is always slow.
