I had been with AT&T / Cingular / AT&T for 15 years, and as mentioned in another post, reception has always been bad in Southern Kentucky but had gotten even worse over the past 6 to 12 months. Verizon and Sprint have also offered 3G data service for over 2 years the Corbin / London area, while AT&T is still using old EDGE technology. Local AT&T reps also lie about "Future" 3G coverage, for the past 3 years saying "it will be here in the fall", and this year have even have gone as far as creating bogus 3G coverge maps to give to local salespeople so they will keep selling phones. I switched to Verizon 4 months ago, and it has been like night and day service wise, not only in my area but the entire I-75 corridor. I don't lose calls on 5th street, I-75, or anywhere, and Verizon also has 3G data coverage practically everywhere I go. Also, local family and friends from London, North Corbin, even farms West of Canadatown, where I had no coverage with AT&T, have 3 or 4 bars with Verizon (with my Droid X 4 bars is max.) AT&T doesn't care about the small markets, and they prove it in our area.

Switched from AT&T to Verizon and never looked back. I have service on the lake.. and 3g... AT&T can't beat that. AT&T no bars in places you need.

my husband and I have been with AT&T for 15 yrs and the signal has just gotten worse esp. past year has been basically nil most of the time we have no bars and when we do get a bar or 2 call will be dropped majority of the time its really bad for us because we live close to the lake and go out on the boat there is no signal emergency u really r up the lake without a paddle actually we do have a paddle but phone useless seriously looking for a new carrier

I have been a faithful AT&T customer for the past 5 years. It seems like my reception is getting worse and more worse every day. I have unlimited everything on my phone but It takes for ever to load a internet page. I have a smart phone with a fast processor. I am simply down hearted with at&t. I am going to start looking other services and I'm going to start telling other people that AT&T will not spend a penny in this area to build or upgrade there towers!

The reception in this area is very poor. There are spots where you can go and get a signal, but low-lying areas are typically dead zones. A few places on the lake have a signal, but for the most part, it is dead. I have seen Verizon phones work in places where AT&T is DEAD.

I have had a Cingular phone for about four years and have always been very satisfied. Signal was great virtually everywhere. I could even attach an external antenna and get signal in extreme southeastern Kentucky where almost no one has service. However, for the past couple of months the signal has been very poor and variable. I have an older cdma phone which still gets good signal. Is anyone else experiencing this kind of difficulty? If signal doesn't improve, I am going to explore other options. I don't even have signal in my home in the center of Corbin.

Terrible! Thats all I can say. I guess you get what you pay for but this is ridiculous I hate being tied up in contracts but its a waste of money to pay for phones and never be able to use them.

I cannot send or receive calls when inside Kroger or Wal-mart, which is very frustrating. My cell phone will not pick up in my home, either. It will only work on the main roads or the interstate when in Corbin. In Knoxville or Lexington, I can call from anywhere.

For a company like Cingular to claim they have the all over network, seems like one big lie to me. I get zero coverage at home, my wife is on Sprint and gets full coverage! Worst still, my business is very near the Interstate exit 29 on I-75 and I get very poor coverage there too. If I had known this I would have not gone with cingular. When I went back to the store to tell them of the problems they said that the network does not cover the whole area that I work in or live in, any signal strength I do get is from towers further away. So why I ask are there so many Cingualr dealers in Corbin in the first place, seems to me that there are more stores than signal towers.

There really needs to be a tower put up for people on and around the lake.
