There's the old Sprint and now the new Sprint... because I actually have better reception than I had with Verizon. I'm all over the state of CT and love it. I think they merged the towers with Nextel? In any case, I'm enjoying better service for a lot less money. Todd

Very good service. Service is almost never a problem. Even in fairfield county (which I'm in quite often) it is also good.

I have very few problems. My phone is trash and so if I have the attenna covered then my reception goes down, but otherwise very good everywhere I go. A little spotty in Woodbridge, but otherwise good. The East Rock park issue might be fixed because I noticed a tower not listed on the map. Could this be a new tower that no one know about? Its on State street near ridge hill school.

Calls are a bit scratchy sounding. We never get more than 4 bars at home. thought it would be better since we're so close to New Haven.

Cingular is pretty good at my house, lets see if it is good in VT at my school.

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.

Depending on the phone and the spot I am standing in, I have somewhere between no reception and one bar. For years, this was the best of any service I had in my house. Now I am the only person in the house that doesn't have service. Verizon and Cingular work fine.

Poor to no Virgin reception. ATT 4 bars, T-Mobile 3

Barely any reception unless by a window. Even then, reception is poor. Itkch.

At home (streets listed) I have poor reception. Phone goes into roaming occasionally. Even when I display several reception bars, people on the phone with me complain about drop outs. I have experienced similar spotty coverage elsewhere in the state, when I travel, I almost always get better reception, so I know the problem is not with the phone itself.

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

Verizon is horrible in Hamden, I've never dropped so many calls since moving here. No reception at home and spotty at best in most of Hamden. Looking to switch carriers, phone now only good as a paper weight

This is the blackhole for dead spots in Hamden. Absolutely no service what so ever in the apartment complex. T-Mobile is the worst service provider in CT.

Usually no reception. occasionally 1 bar. thinking about changing to verizon.

Nada, nothing. I probably can't even call 911. "Get More." Get something would be nice.

Hardly connects and if so, then is quickly lost. I get a voicemail alert the next day from the night before. Verizon thinks i'm crazy. It's a new digital phone and my fiance's old analog works perfect. Signal is lost as soon as one enters the West portion of the apartment complex. Maybe it's all the Wi-Fi jamming the signal????????! pissed though.

No reception inside the house. One bar, maybe, if I go outside away from the house. Two blocks away at Benham St. and Dunbar Hill Rd.I can get 4-5 bars. I guess AT&T believes that fresh air is good for me. My previous Cingular phone was just as bad.

I have Sprint PCS service which is really no service at all at my home on the back side of East Rock. Not only do I not have Sprint Service, but when I turn the phone to roam, the service is spotty. I work in dowtown New Haven where Sprint service is fine. But I lose my signal all over the rest of the area... sometimes on the shore, along Quinnipiac Ave, and certainly when I head west into the Valley. If you call customer service they'll give you free roaming time to make up for poor service areas. Still, I'm frustrated when they tell me I should have service... I don't.

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.
