3G coverage in Tallahassee has usually been pretty great. There's only one area in town I've been that sometimes drops calls, but even that has improved vastly. Both download and upload speeds were often in the 2-3Mbps until just recently; the last month or so the speed has plummeted, due to, as AT&T informed me, cell towers are coming down for upgrades around the city. It should improve greatly in the near future.

Dropped calls all the time. We are about to switch to Verizon anyway.

More like 2 or 3 bars. NEVER full reception. ATT told me a new tower will in opration the Dec 15 less than a mile away. Quasar RD (I think)

I've been using Cingular / AT&T for many years. The coverage has only gotten better. I've only experienced one dead zone in Tallahassee and that was off Apalachee Pkwy. in the Timber Ridge neighborhood. No service is available in that location, but move out onto Apalachee Pkwy. and reception comes back. Making trips out of town have been a joy with AT&T. Service is good as far west as I have been (Gulfport, MS) and as far east as I have gone. (Jacksonville / St. Augustine) Those who state they have had trouble with AT&T service, beware, they may just have an ax to grind. As far as I am concerned, service could not be better.

Two bars if the wind blows. Very disappointed with AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and Alltel. This location is home to several thousand homes within a 2 mile radius, but the towers at so far away that this prime residential area lacks cellular coverage. If the major carriers but towers near the Catholic church, they would see more use of the service and put the local phone carrier out of business! But, it must be hip to be mediocre.

At TCC campus, Sprint and T-Mobile are a no-go. AT&T and Alltel are the only ones with strong service.

Only get 1 bar at home with ATT. No one can understand our conversations.

I have had great reception here with Cingluar (now AT&T) for many years. I get 5 bars all the way until about 2 miles from the Florida / Georgia border. It used to be that I had no reception at the Texaco just across the border, but now I get 2-3 bars and can make calls just fine. Inside my house Thomasville and Foxcroft Dr. I get 5 bars provided I am sitting at my desk near a window. At work, Thomasville and Metropolitan Blvd, I also get 5 bars. This is just south of I-10. Inside, 3-5 bars depending on where I am in the building and proximity to a window. People who are expecting 5 bars inside a building are just dreaming. The structures just block some of the signal.

Constantly having dropped calls and garbled reception. This is the heart of the state capitol.

Cingular is much better reception then Alltel... at least out here southwest of Woodville.

This is an complete black area! And you WILL drop calls here!

Don't read other peoples Replies. This is the Truth. All cell phone carriers have good reception in Tallahassee, but the best is Cingular. Right now they are integrating the towers from ATT's old towers and making them all Cingular, during this 3 month span the network will not be at its best, once Integration is complete it will provide more capacity and more cell sites. Cingular is the best wireless service, hands Down.

dead zone... on tharpe over the hill and intersecting the san luis park turn

it is a dead zone until you reach the front of the airport

Have 3 bars and it drops to lose call everytime Lose calls when in the house. Have to go outside to make sure my calls don't drop. Help

Calls dropped all over. Often find myself standing in the driveway to stay connected.

My phone is unusable down Fleischmann Rd. Dropped calls are common all around town and echos are present the rest of the time. Stay away!

This spot is completely dead and barely works all the way past I-10 if heading north. Reception is perfect if heading south down the hill.

Former AT&T GSM customer now switched to Cingular. Most of the places I get a good signal, down at the Capitol (where I work) I get good solid 5 bars everywhere but the lower level and parking garage. This coverage is maintained pretty well around the downtown area, and as far north as Bannerman Rd. At my house I have a hard time finding a good 'zone'... coverage can be anywhere from 3 bars to none in less than a few inches. I've determined this must be the construction of the house... I have a hard time getting my wireless to work well in some spots as well (sometimes less than 10 feet away from the Access Point.) Walk upstairs or outside and it gets an avg. 4 bars.

My reception with Cingular Sucks at this location. Sometimes I don't get a signal and rarely I will get 3 bars usually after turning the phone off then back on. My wife has T-Moble and her reception is fine.

We used to get a fairly good signal here on 4 different phones (3 Nokia, 1 Treo). Lately we have to go outside just to to make a call and frequently get dropped. We always had good service when we were a US Cellular market. When AT&T took over it got worse and now with Cingular it's a joke. 8 more months on the contract and it'll be SEE-YA CINGULAR!

Reception was fine in this area and others around town from 12 / 04 to 03 / 05 but has been horrible since (04 / 05 through 07 / 05)
