Pretty good in Madison Towers. Good in most places in downtown. Poor signal in my laboratory building on Whitney and Humphrey (Bass building, Yale).

It may be that there is some sort of shadow because of East Rock. Closer to downtown New Haven reception is much better.

I cannot use my Sprint cell phone at home, in the university dorm, or in the lab.

Reception tends to have heavy static unless right up against windows. Even outdoors, there is a good deal of static, particularly in residential areas away from the central campus. Hard to say if other carriers are any better, particularly in the grad ghetto area.

Pretty much no reception in the house unless near a window or skylight. Outside it's ok- at least able to keep a phone call (most of the time). Definitely no data at home- which is disappointing and frustrating!

I always have great signal around New Haven. Cingular is better than any other wireless company. I have no problems of loosing signal and bars!

Cingular is one of the greatest because in many areas there are signal. Many of my friends have Verizon, T-mobile, and Sprint where they get mad because there is no signal.

I've had AT&T (Now Cingular) for many years now. I got great reception in the East Rock neighborhood on Bishop near State St. for 3yrs. Moved to Westville and get terrible reception. Had to get a land line since I normally cannot carry a conversation for very long.

Get coverage in elevators in my apartment. The voice quality is getting worse, more static than before. Verizon has the coverage where you need it.

The reception is good. Sometimes the call quality is not that great. I find Verizon reliable and calls do not drop.
