I'm in Lakepark subdivision off O'Neal Lane and I usually get 4-5 bars in the house, but I do have a couple of rooms that I can't get much signal in. I usually get 5 bars all over town with my phone. If I drive between here and New Orleans, I usually get the same kind of reception. I went to the Paragon in Marksville last year and reception there wasn't very good, no 3G, only Edge, but I could make a call and send a text message.

Reception is poor with frequent dropped calls and extremely slow data service in my neighborhood. Calls to my cell rarely ring going straight to voice mail. Even texting fails frequently. phone reports "no service" about 25% of the time with 1 bar the rest of the time. I have complained numerous times and use their iPhone APP to report every problem. Nothing will change. Since AT&T has the land service contract in BR they have no incentive to improve cell phone service to the point that it will replace the land line service. Verizon has no similar conflict of interest and as soon as my contract expires, I'm going to try them.

When I moved to this area in Jan. I was not planning on getting a land line. When we are in the house we cannot get any type of reception at all. If we walk outside we have very poor reception and often drop calls. It is very frustrating for us. Just like another post, I would hope that Sprint can evaluate this area to improve service.

There is usually 0 to 1 bars of reception when in this area. I live in the Shenandoah Subdivision and I cannot use my phone inside my home at all. I have to walk to the street to talk and my calls are usually dropped or the person on the other end cannot understand me. Please evaluate this area to add additional towers.

The AT&T Coverage Map is erroneous. It states that my area in question area is 'good'... when in fact it is 'poor'. The reception once you get past Antioch on Tiger Bend drops off to one bar at best and then will drop when trying to connect on a call. Most AT&T users in the Parterre and surrounding subdivisions along Tiger Bend usually resort to standing 'outside of their house' trying to get a working signal... and then it's usually a poor 1 bar quality signal with substantial dropped calls when you are able to get a signal at all. During rain or incliment weather conditions, there are absolutely no signal bars available at all. AT&T has known about this problem for over 15 years yet will do nothing to resolve the problem. My local AT&T store, the technical representatives and their management state that their coverage map is accurate and will not even bother to perform a test drive to see the problem first hand. They do admit however to maybe 'some' technical problems by allowing me a 'discount' on a microcell unit. All facts support severe technical coverage faults in the area and a microcell tower should be free to the users of this affected area.

Looks like from the comments above this has been a problem in this neighborhood for five years at least. AT&T is "Universal," eh? I have friends who live there and who drive through there and who have AT&T (as do I) and I'd bet my life there will be a dropped call 95% of the time. Average, the rest of the calls I make, probably only 20%, which is still way too high.

Bars fluctuate without moving from one spot. Can't stay on the phone more than 30 seconds AT MOST without the signal dropping completely off and dropping the call. I don't know if AT&T is leasing towers or just letting the ones they have fall apart but their business will surely go downhill quickly as their customer service is horrible. Put that together with dropping every call made and recieved in this area and the flat out lies the service reps are trained to tell the customer and there's just no way people will stay. WARNING... Beware of bundling your services with these crooks! You WILL get ripped off!

I constantly have 5 bars around LSU but the second I dial a number, it drops to 1 bar and I am CONSTANTLY dropping calls. It is completely ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with my phone as when I head back home to New Orleans I have never dropped a single call and my reception is very consistent. BR sucks.

I am totally disappointed with AT&T dropped calls, late voicemails and poor signal. I just bought another phone and signed up with Verizon. My signal is strong, fast and reliable. I love my iphone,but consider it worthless. If AT&T would invest money in their towers like Verizon and Sprint, they wouldn't be losing customers like myself.

Just got my HTC EVO, the coverage is good at LSU area, but the internet speed is not as fast as AT&T, comparing the price it is worth to have Sprint family plan for almost half of AT&T though.

I like my phone but it has it's issues too. Like I can't get and keep a consistent signal. Sitting in the same place, it can be strong to none or just weak. I try to download music or videos and sometimes it works but lately, as in the last few months, I can't get anything. I work offshore so it's different at work. I don't expect a consistent signal. But at home that shouldn't be a concern. Hope they fix this.

Almost no reception in this subdivision. My Blackberry works better than my husbands Iphone. It was better for a short time, but now back to very poor. I had a Nextel phone for about a month, great reception.

Needs more towers. 50% of my outgoing calls are dropped calls (signal faded)! Service is not good in this area like Sprint was, but I wanted the Iphone so I guess I'll deal with it... .
