Muddy Branch Rd.West Side Dr., Gaithersburg, MD 20878 Tue May 19, 2009

VERY VERY POOR RECEPTION! I have to go out in the balcony to get signal and even then I only get 3 bars which is good because I can atleast talk but once I get in the house its no signal throughout the whole day.

It gets 3 or fewer bars. In my cul de sac I drop calls all the time. and if I go inside I can't even use the phone. Looking at the other reviews other companies seem to have an issue as well. I wonder if the nearby NIST has some restriction on cell phone towers.

I live in Flower Hill area and barely get 1 bar in the house, but have to walk around searching for it. One bar doesn't always work. Why is service so poor in a populous area like Gaithersburg?

Two to three bars with variation which has led to drop calls. Poor to no reception in Giant grocery store and in Target (Washingtonian shopping center (Rio)). No improvements after reporting several times. Would recommend another carrier.

Kentlands / Everywhere Else In 20878, Gaithersburg, MD 20878 Mon Nov 26, 2007

I never get reception in the Kentlands. Everywhere else in the 20878 area is spotty. I contacted AT&T about the issue and the offered me the upgrade to a new phone. However, I already qualified for the upgrade... so, now I get to choose which next piece of crap I will use so that I do not have to pay the $175.00 to get out of my contract! AT&T has terrible service in this area. I have used AT&T since 2002 and have never had this problem in the Chicagoland area. There has to be some sort of service issue that they can correct. I hope!

Brink and Woodfield / Down From Glendalough, Gaithersburg, MD 20882 Fri Feb 02, 2007

One to two bars if I get to just the right place on the first floor, better service on the second floor, none in the basement.

In our apartment complex (Park Station) we either get one bar or none. At least 75% of calls are dropped. It's awful.

Upper Montgomery Co., Gaithersburg, MD 20878 Fri Aug 25, 2006

Lots of weak / dead spots throughout upper Montgomery County, even on or close to I270. Switched to AT&T wireless 5 yrs ago because they were the only ones with reception, albeit poor, in the Darnestown area. Since the purchase of AT&T Wireless by Cingular, reception has improved a bit, but is not great, and customer service has plummeted! Numerous billing errors, services added that weren't requested, takes several billing cycles to get them resolved, etc. I've only stayed with Cingular because I was too lazy to research better services, and I didn't want to fork out the $$ for new phones -- but I'm giving them the boot now!
