Terrible reception in this area of Worcester. I can't get through a single call without it dropping out at least once, usually several times. When it does hold out for a call, the reception is full of static, weird feedback sounds, and echos. This whole neighborhood, from pleasant, to Moreland and down Salisbury St, is really poor. Once you get closer to downtown, service is fine.

Terrible reception in my house and around the Tatnuck area of Worcester in general. My phone always drops calls, I never have more than 3 bars of reception and calls usually have a lot of static or other disturbances. Can't wait to drop AT&T

Horrible service near the Paxton line on 122. If you dont tilt your head the correct way inside the house, dropped calls. And along Mass pike heading towards Worcester, there are always 2-3 spots where the calls just get dropped. Oh yea, and the occasional random dropped calls that I've averaged about 5-6 times per week. Especially frustrating while on the phone speaking to clients. I made the mistake of switching to AT&T for the iphone. Cool phone but terrible service.

Rarely have spots of no reception. If I do its for a second or 2. Best I've had in the 10 yrs I've used mobile phones.

Northern edge of town - coverage does have some dead areas as you go further north from here.

I am showing 1 bar on my htc right now. When I try to place a call it goes to no bars. Sporadically jumps to 4 bars and then down to zero again. It is VERY frustrating when I have to make a call.

Verizon, Sprint / Nextel, Cingular / AT&T will work, get a reception for a second, then goes no bars, no service and if you do get bars, the phone will ring, but you cannot hear the person or the phone constantly drops, this affects being inside / outside the house. I have tried tried different phones and different carriers same issue with all...

Neither T-Mobile nor Verizon work well in this area. Cingular (GSM) is always 3-5 bars inside the house.

Absolute drop dead wonderful service. I don't get any dropped calls, or degraded service. With NEXTEL service I used to have a slight problem with the iDEN Motorols phones. But since I've switched to iDEN Blackberry, I now live in a perfect world... .. Huhhhh... .

Worst reception ever. Area is shaded as "best" under reception maps for Cingular. Calls dropped, Network busy, and No service messages are a daily common. Avoid Cingular at all means... ...

It will work on salisbury street but reception on-campus is iffy at best. It comes and goes, not even txt will work and forget inside buildings - in the science building esp. there is NO signal, at all, ever. People w Cingular dont seem to have reception problems here, even inside buildings. Im switching.

I used to have great reception all across the city of Worcester with Nextel. However, it seems that since the merger with Sprint, I can't get a good signal ANYWHERE in the city and surrounding area. Totally unacceptable.

I always have 4-5 bars, even in a large office building with thick walls... never any problems with reception. My co-workers who have Verizon always complain about the bad service here. If they walk 20 feet, they lose service. Another co-worker has Nextel and loses service on and off throughout the day.
