I may get 5 bars of signal but as soon as I try and use something that takes data I might as well give up. I'm lucky if I get 0.16Mbps down and 0.10Mbps up. Checking email is a nightmare and there's no chance of googling for directions or to find a good restaurant or bar. I'm extremely dissapointed in AT&T considering they did a good job at improving signal but did nothing to improve bandwidth.

AT&T just launched 4G LTE in Sarasota, and I must say its wicked fast. Im getting 25 / 10 speeds based on speedtest app. Thats crazy fast. All the services just improved drastically. Very rarely ever drop calls and just overall great customer service. I wouldn't switch to any other carrier. My friends have Verizon and there speeds according to the same app are much slower. Amazing they advertise faster speeds.

Verizon is the best coverage in Sarasota. I desperately want an iPhone, but the AT&T reception is so poor, it won't work at my house.

Alltel has never dropped a call for me and I always have more bars than my friends. Best coverage in all of florida.

metro PCS is great all over sarasota much better than T-Mobile and Sprint my previous carriers. the price cant be beat and you don't have to keep track of how many minutes or texts you use.

Metro PCS is a good value and deffinetly worth a try. Coverage is actually better than T-Mobile my previous carrier.

No problems, no dropped calls. In fact, I never had problems anywhere within the Sarasota County.

No matter where I go I have no problems with dropped calls. I use it when travelling to New England and have never had a problem.

I love AT&T! the service is great and the people at the Fruitville store are amazing! If your current cell phone sucks! Switch to AT&T! I did and I am soooooo happy! They are right up there next to Winn dixie on fruitville. Tell em I sentcha!

I think Alltel has a tower near hear because the signal is very strong all over this area. Great signal in and around the Sarasota Square Mall and really all over area. I use to have T-Mobile and it seems like the T-Mobile phones are a little cooler, but the Alltel coverage runs circles around T-Mobile's. What good is a cell phone if it doesn't make a call? But I've been really happy with the Alltel coverage here and their plans compare well to other options. I don't know of any provider that's better as far as coverage goes either. Unlike Cingular or Verizon, I can generally keep a very good signal indoors and even away from heavily populated areas. I am a happy customer.
