the whole area from alice peck school to west woods school bad reception its patchy from average to no reception u need look for a spot u get good reception

Can you hear me now? No, not when I'm in my rented room near campus. We just switched from Cingular to Verizon. The Cingular service was just fine, so it didn't even occur to me that I'd switched to something that wouldn't work. I tried driving down the hill for a half mile and that still didn't work.

Poor to no reception north of East Rock Park. Good reception in every other direction except north of the park.

When we moved to New Haven we arrived with T-Mobile and two high-end phones. We had to switch because call dropped predictibly every few min. So we made the mistake to switch to Sprint... and even worse with a 2 year contract. What was I thinking? Anyway, it has been horrible. I can't get reception in my building almost in the middle of Yale campus. There are several dead spots along Whitney Ave. and in Hamden coverage is spotty. When you drive into the countryside you may as well leave your phone at home. Some folks say that it's east and west rock that screw up the reception. Be that as it may, it got so aggravating that I finally broke my contract. Both Verizon and Cingular have a good reputation in the New Haven area. We'll see.
