I did a speed test and it gave me 195 kbps download and 55 kbps upload. Thats just bad...

N. Renwood and W. Glen Ave. Verizon drops calls right at the entrance to the Shamrock pub. I can go around the block and lose 9 out of 10 driving by the same spot in my car.

Does anyone know if AT&T is or has built a new tower on or around Bradley University campus? The last I had heard, during orientation, was that there was supposed to be one up and running by September. Here it is almost October and I'm still getting mediocre signal.

Seems like cell reception for all the major carriers suck at ICC. You barely get a signal on the second floor. You can kiss that goodbye on the first floor and basement.

I get great reception all the time, whereas my husband use to have Sprint for work and he would miss calls or have them dropped regularly.

2 bars outside and in the house I drop calls all the time if I move out of the few good spots.

Little or no reception in or around the house. Has anyone heard when AT&T is going 3G in Peoria?

AT&T reception is very poor around the Bradley University area. Going further north or downtown, signal is OK.

I get good, consistent reception with AT&T on the Bradley University Campus, inside classrooms, around town, at work (near the north of town), and at home, even in my basement. The only thing AT&T needs to do now is get some 3G coverage in the area.

Very very poor reception, if any at all. I have absolutely NO service inside my home. Nine out of 10 calls get dropped. I don't recommend T-Mobile for the Peoria area at all. I definitely don't recommend conducting business from your T-Mobile telephone, as it appears unprofessional when the call is almost always dropped.

I've had Sprint for a number of years and have seen steady improvements. Still some questionable / dead spots if you travel too far off the main highway but again, that seems to be improving. They recently upgraded the entire central IL area to EVDO service which provides high-speed data.

I Roam so much here and in IL. Im going back to Verizon!

I have absolutely no complaints about cell phone reception in Peoria, IL area. Anywhere I go, I get a lot of bars and have not dropped calls. Additionally, in the place I work only Verizon functions INSIDE the building. I was previously with T-Mobile and had to walk out of the building every time I had a call

Bars can go from 3 or 4 to 0 when you are in the same place.

T mobile works ok outside buildings and does not work inside bradley hall etc. buildings. also does not work near sterling ave and warmemorial intersections(inside buildings and shops) also wont work / drop calls in far east peoria near washingtong or around cvs pharmacy thats as far it can go. T mobile sucks really sucks in this area. I called them up they wont do anything.

Excellent service all throughout Peoria, too.

Have gone through two Tri-Band model phones without any problem. Never had any dropped calls only occasional echoing. Just wished they made smaller Tri-band models phones, instead of having the all-digital models being small.

No reception in any downtown buildings.

Cingular has no towers near Bradley University - even though their map says they do. They have a "roaming agreement" with T-Mobile which is why they show Peoria covered. Unless you're able to switch your phone over to T-mobiles signal, you are screwed

Have to run upstairs to answer calls at home. Basement = no reception. St.level = spotty reception, dropped calls. Upstairs = one to two bars.
