No reception. Unable to place or receive calls. Unable to text. I spoke to top tier support and they advised me that they are in the planning stages of a new site but until then, there will be no resolution.

I get 2MBps to 2.8MBps inside my 3rd floor condo in Tampa Palms. I've had no complaints with speed of service although some texts and voicemails don't come through timely. Some dropped calls but not bad enough to bother me. Only problem is that with speeds that fast on 3G I hit the 5GB ceiling pretty fast. Please post current Sprint and MetroPCS speeds!

AT&T SUCKS. Do NOT buy the iPhone if you live in this area. At first, thought it was my house... it doesn't even work 1 / 3 mile from my house. When it does work in the South Tampa, St.Pete area, it's spotty at best. Constant dropped calls, inbound calls go straight to voicemail and then I don't even get notified of new voicemail for days sometimes. Texts are just as bad... I have to be in just the right spot with my phone at the perfect angle (don't know what that is yet... always different) for any message to go out. They come in at completely random times. I even went so far as to forward calls to my Verizon FiOS home number when at home but that doesn't even work dependably enough. STAY AWAY FROM AT&T! Wife has Droid with Sprint and gets great coverage all over. Her only complaint is battery life but I'm sure she's got auto-fetch and other battery-eater settings enabled.

In this Area Verizon is always 4 or 5 bars and I never have connection issues of any kind! I tried to switch to T-Mobile to save money but man, I do not know what I was thinking... Verizon is so far above everyone else, I don't even know why people use the other services.

I live over by the Robinson school, if I'm lucky I get a bar blinking on and off if I get the phone in the right position in the room. I haven't talked on my phone in over a week, and before that longer because I have such poor reception. Texting is just another pain, having to find a hot spot in my room just for it to go through. Corporates piss me off. They claim on there commercials about how great they are and pay no mind to the customers that spend out money on their junk, and it won't even work, if by chance were lucky they might build another tower closer in a few years. Don't worry guys, Verizon loves us as much as Jesus. - The Nameless Insane

3G coverage is garbage in my house, but everything else is great. I don't have problems unless in the buildings in USF that are built like bomb shelters (e.g., College of Business) or I'm out in the middle of nowhere (e.g., unincorporated areas of Polk County). I have coverage just about everywhere I could reasonably expect it.

I have the old 3G and no need for a landline since my iPhone gets great coverage. Been here for a year and dropped one call whereas my wife has a Verizon Blackberry Curve and gets one bar. AT&T is rock solid and I downloaded data wicked fast even before I got my own wi-fi. Love my iPhone on AT&T. Many friends / coworkers switched to Verizon to get the Droid but complain of sucky reception and slooow data download / upload. Verizon over promises and under-delivers on service. I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. Droid does what?

I work at USF Health and get 1 bar at my desk, if I'm lucky. This is often enough to avoid dropping the call, but not enough for a clear conversation. I live a couple miles east of the school on Fletcher and get 0-1 bars in my apartment. I would estimate that I drop about 60-75% of the calls I try to take at home. I usually get 3-4 bars on the drive between home and work, though, so maybe I just got really unlucky with where I work / live. Looking at the map of towers, it doesn't seem like other providers are doing much better in this area, which is surprising, given the 45,000+ students who spend a lot of their time on the USF campus.

I get disconnected all the time (almost every call) inside of my office. Also, when someone calls and I am not within tower connection the message to whoever is trying to contact me is that my phone is no longer in service.
