terrible reception- I have to go outside to make a call and even then I often lose the call repeatedly. AT&T is great, as long as you don't want to make or answer your phone inside... .

If there is a cloud in the sky the phone service is shakey. The real rip off is the wireless hotspot and internet. They worked great for the first few weeks. After Verizon got the iphone they hardly work at all.

I switched from a flip phone to the 4G LTE Thunderbolt by HTC the day it came out, and the call signal has gotten slightly better, but I still loose a call about once every few months in my apartment. After a trip to NYC (Manhattan) a few months ago and after experiencing the amazing 4G LTE reception in NYC, I have realized just how mediocre the 4G signal is in Boston, with the signal constantly fluctuating, where as in NY, I had full bars where ever I went. After commenting on this fact to a Verizon Wireless store manager, he said the Boston network most likely won't get any upgrades for a couple of years until they are finished launching 4G in all of their other planned markets.

AT&T service was for the most part a mixed bag up until about June 2011. Now all of the sudden 95% (not exaggerating) of all calls get a dropped at least once, if not several times consecutively and the data coverage is absolute ****. It's also killing my battery making my smartphone's battery go from lasting roughly 2 days to now, a paltry 5 or 6 hours because the phone is constantly seeking and reconnecting to the piss-poor signal. I'm glad these bozos, who don't know their a****** from the elbow won't be taking over T-Mobile because I'm sure as hell jumping ship as soon as my contract is ending - maybe even sooner.

I have a iphone 3g, and I don't get reception in my apartment. I'm thinkning that maybe it's due to the age of the phone, however, I'm cautious about upgrading and being locked into this terrible service for any longer. My roommate on Verizon experiences no issues at home. ATT is absolute garbage in Boston.

Get good voice signal however, data rarely / never works in my office building which is a large building housing KPMG. Most AT&T customers have spotty coverage in here (variety of phones covering HTC, iPhone and Blackberry + some windows phones but can't remember which OEMs specifically). Addittionally, several restaurants around the area get spotty coverage which has proven very difficult when I need to head out for business meetings / lunches. NEED TO RESOLVE - this is downtown Boston and this buiulkding alone has at least 600 employees (~200 AT&T given their market share)

Umass Boston Campus Center / Wheatley Hall / Scien, Boston, MA 02125 Mon Apr 04, 2011

I have great signal outside of some of the buildings, but once you step inside its like a dead zone. Online on the coverage map it says I would have good coverage but I barely get a bar of 3g in the cafeteria even near the windows and sometimes its one bar of Edge overall spotty coverage in here. The other buildings are terrible, only edge and the wifi on my phone keeps saying UMB network not in range but my laptop says full bars for the wifi network around the other buildings. Wheatley is terrible, my signal fluctuates from 3 bars of 3g to Edge then to no signal whatsoever. Science center has to be the worst phone fluctuates from 1 to 3 bars of edge and rejects all text messages I try to send and won't even put a call through. No signal inside the auditorium / lecture hall. McCormack is also terrible signal is spotty and sometimes non existent. Getting very frustrated with tmobile's signal at UMB. Not sure if my vibrant has a warped antenna. Friend has AT&T iphone 3g and gets 3g everywhere. 5 bars in science center lecture hall and 5 bars in McCormack, while I continue to have no bars.

Moved from O and 1st St.had great reception there nothing here. Yet Verizon, Metro PCS and Tracfones work here. To make a call you have to stand in the middle of the street. Can't wait to get rid of AT&T.

Hanover St., Boston, MA 02113 Sat Aug 14, 2010

My apartment and the North End is a complete dead zone for Verizon. I only have cell service in one place in my apartment and that is the bathroom standing over the sink. I can't even receive texts if my phone is not in the bathroom. Sometimes I will use SKYPE instead of my cell phone and I've even considered getting a landline. If you are walking down Hanover Street, you will most certainly lose calls.

Not bad on the phone - but the G3 network - well that could be better - also there's no wi-fi services available so always on my internet connection which doesn't always come through and lags. Phone reception spotty - often calls will be missed without ringing - but don't often drop. Could be better, but anything better than ATT Wireless.

Very Poor reception in City Point. Surprising that a thickly settled area in the city is so poor. used to have Verizon in this area and reception was good. Sprint should allow their phone to roam in this area.

Wow to the rep who posted three times then again before me don't waste the sites time. I have had Verizon and it sucked compared to my iphone. This from a real customer not a rep from vzw I can see why they'd run it down though AT&T and Sprint in this area steal customers from Verizon all the time because their service sucks

My work just switched us over to Verizon Wireless. AT&T has so many problems here. Verizons network works great here. I can't wait for 4G to be released in the coming weeks. I also have a lot of friends are are switching to Verizon because of the Incredible. The iPhone hype is Dying.
