Terrible reception inside house, often miss phone calls only to get a voicemail ten minutes later.

The only way to avoid constant dropped calls is to leave my house and go outside, which is lovely considering Minneapolis's balmy winters.

In the heart of minneapolis... .my new house has no reception

Only bad areas are in underground parking ramps, etc. Verizon has a good downtown coverage, but I'm not sure their high prices are worth their data plans.

Coverage does drop when traffic on 169 is heavy and tower use gets maxed out.

Excellent reception in my house. Rarely a dropped call. From my experience, T-Mobile works well in almost any area of the Twin Cities (had to switch from AT&T to T-Mobile after moving here).

At best, one bar, if standing in front of the window of the living room on one leg. Had to switch to T-Mobile to get reception in my house.

I've had problems in the past, but Verizon's coverage is perfect now (April 2009).

So many homes and home offices in this area yet virtually no reception at home inside and just barely outside

also have a Broadband card which I rate poor. Verizon reports they are aware it is a weak area but no action.
