It's recently been worse and worse. With Verizon's "free after 9" program, I usually only make calls after 9pm, but I have to stand outside on my driveway to even get a signal! I have one corner in my room that gets about two bars, but that's if I'm lucky. Funny thing is, before 9pm, I have 3-4 bars almost everywhere in E-burg. Uh, what the heck?

Reception in Eldersburg goes from good to poor over a short distance and worse in bad weather. Reception is great in what we locals call the Marriotsville Hole where nobody lives, but poor in some densely poplulated communities such as in parts of Bonnie Brae. In the lower areas, coverage is poor at best, yet you can almost see the Marriotsville Tower. I also knew about the Piny Run tower and reception in that part of Sykesville is great even in the huge holes along parts of Barthelow Rd. and all of Rt 27 at the end of which appears to be two towers in close proximity. The southern most part of Carroll County (Eldersburg) is terrible with signals rising and falling constantly and inconsistant coverage. Coverage in buildings is always poor to non existent. The tower map lists another cell site at Springfield Hospital which should cover some of the spots I am writing about but appears not to be active. I live about a half a mile away and can see that towers lights. If this is an active cell site, it is very poor relative to the Piney Run or Marriotsville site coverages. I switched from AT&T (no coverage) to Verizon (poor, spotty coverage that doesn't penetrate buildings at all). Verizon works well in many areas of low population density (makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?) and also the Westminster, northern Carroll County which has worse terrain, but sucks incredibilly in and around Eldersburg. I hope that tower at Springfield is a new one yet to be activated as opposed to one that exists with poor coverage. Its time to look at other services.
