While AT&T struggles to bring solid 3G coverage in Chicago, Sprint launches 4G and now reports show that T-Mobile is rolling out their 7.2 Mbps HSPA network in Chicago. Come on AT&T.

It's amazing as Sprint launches 4G in Chicago... AT&T continues to struggle with 3G in the city. I guess what they say... don't trust a wireless provider with Telegraph still in their name. ;-)

Awful reception in my condo. It works only near the windows and drops out half the time.

Reception is awful - calls frequently drop and even the ones that stay connected sound as though I am sitting inside a tin can with cotton stuffed in my mouth. And forget about high speed data transfer!

I often have dropped calls and my phone even loses coverage entirely with a "Searching... " message. AT&T says several towers in my area are "degraded" and will be fixed soon, but this has been the story for over a year.

My reception varies from moment to moment from 0 bars to 4 bars. It constantly changes. If I watch it just goes up and down as I am on the phone. I am lucky if I can complete a call without the line being dropped. I am so frustrated. I called 611 and they looked into it but they were not able to do anything about it. I had excellent reception when I lived in Lake County in Illinois but it has only been bad while living in Chicago. I want to know which carrier is best in my area.

AT&T is awful! Dropping client calls is not good for business. I'm switching to Sprint for the Palm Pre. The iphone shine has faded.

Data speeds are awful, and 3G is inconsistent, cutting in and out. When 3G is switched off, EDGE sometimes performs OK, but sometimes I can't get any data access. Really, this is shameful performance. Dropped calls happen regularly, too.
