i get very poor receptino inside my neigborhood yet I can see the tower at the top of the hill standing just at the end of my street.

Reception improved after installation of repeaters on Liberty High School water tower. Has be deterioriating ever since.

There is no reception in my neighborhood anymore. This started about 6 weeks ago. Cingular cannot seem to explain it.

Within the last month or two, I no longer have any service in my house. What makes it worse is that I cancelled long-distance service at my house a couple of years ago. I can no longer make long distance calls from my home. I have called to complain, but Cingular have no answers.

Worst cell reception I've ever had. Can't stand still and talk without signal dropping off. I'm switching to Verizon ASAP!

I used to have Nextel I paid them a buch of money every month for 5 years for basically nothing. I have been with Cingular for a little over a year now. I live right off of the watershed, Liberty Reservoir and the forest that surrounds it are in my backyard. to add insult to injury I live at the bottom of a valley. Basically my house is a black-hole when it comes to cell phone service. Throughout the years no cellular service's towers have been able to produce a signal at my house, except for Cingular. I was going to make the switch for that reason alone. And Like everyone has stated before, Cingular gets excellent reception at The Home Depot here in Eldersburg. I am a former employee of that store and the fact that Cingular's reception was so good there as well I knew that my search for the "Best Mobile Service in Eldersburg" was over! So if you live on or near the watershed and spend lots of time in The Home Depot or Eldersburg for that matter Cingular is the Cellular Service for you!

Reception is good outside and in the house. Some drop off in stores especially Home Depot - Eldersburg where phone is unusable.

Boy did I get a surprise today! I was able to walk around *inside* the Home Depot in Eldersburg and maintain a signal of 3-4 bars on my Cingular phone with great voice clarity and no dropouts. I'm certainly glad I dropped Verizon for Cingular. My Verizon phone (LG VX6000) and all my prior phones on Verizon had no service at all inside the store: you had to walk outside into their garden section to get *maybe* 1-2 bars with voice dropouts! Cingular service all around the Eldersburg area is near perfect!

Having been with Verizon for years, I just switched to Cingular. At least at or near my house and around the Liberty Reservoir area in Eldersburg / Sykesville, Cingular is giving me a much better signal with no dropouts. Verizon is terrible in this area.

Reception from Fort Meade to Sykesville is OK until I get to Piney Ridge Dr.(almost home). Then it suddenly drops out. I get no reception inside my house, unless I stand in the kitchen and try to face north (strange, I know). Then I can get two bars, and if I'm lucky, I might see a third bar appear from time to time. I can't really depend on my cell phone service out here, which is why I keep my landline. Oh, and I have ZERO reception inside most stores in Eldersburg. NONE.
