Verizon is pretty good for this area... except in my home. Horrible reception. My roommate has TMobile and it has much better reception in the area and says he has experienced no problems in Maryland in general (and even got reception when we were in rural Mexico). So I am probably going to switch this month.

Typically dropped once every 2 hours. Typically -100 dBm. Usually not good enough to VPN to work.

Reception varies from passable to none, but frequently phone doesn't even ring, then a voice mail comes in. Of course, sometimes voicemails come in days after they were sent, but that is another Sprint problem. Can't wait to ditch them.

Cingular is so far the wost service I have experienced since Spring. I am moving with T-Mobile because I have had a lot of good review about them and I am rolling with them today.

Very poor service near my house. Service OK in most of Columiba (but none inside supermarkets?) Even worse with AT&T, so Verizon is a little better.

Was good until November 3 / Now I cant even make a telephone call or send text messages even with 3-4 bars showing. Maybe something has broken / failed out here. Sucks!

I run a home business and have NO reception. I have to drive out to Hickory Ridge Village to get ONE bar and the calls get dropped. I called Cingular and they tell me I'm in a HIGH RECEPTION AREA (by the way, they area is "Washington DC" so that tells you how accurate they are). Their maps and database show high reception... I've always got good customer service from Cingular, so I've been persistent. They said they'll be sending "updates" to my cell phone, set up a "network quality case" and a "technical case" to investigate why MY PHONE is not working. They said I have a tower 3 miles away and should be getting excellent reception. EXTREMELY frustrated because my OUT OF BUSINESS without my cell. I'll be trying Verizon or Nextel even if they don't let me out of the contract. But I have faith that they'll do the right thing. Lost in Columbia...

I live right here and we never get any reception in our house, and poor\spotty reception if we go outside. For being a major highway intersection it is pretty cruddy that it doesn't work.

When traveling around the Columbia / Ellicott City / Clarksville area, I found that Virgin Mobile (Sprint) coverage is terrible. I'm not talking, 1 bar, I'm talking nothing. In village centers, at schools, there is signal, but nowhere in between. Sprint generally gets good service (because you have a tri-band phone and can roam to Verizon's network). Virgin Mobile only uses Sprint's digital network and does not get great signal in my area. In terms of the Eliots Oak Rd. issue, this seems to be a problem with all carriers. A dead spot. I currently use Nextel, and I get 0-2 bars. My friends use different carriers. AT&T gets 0-1, Cingular gets 1, Verizon gets 1, T-Mobile gets 0-1. Annoying living here and getting a phone call. Virgin Mobile (Sprint) is by far the worst though.
