Inside test. Signal strength of -101 dBM (closer to zero is best). ***Bars don't tell you anything because the change in signal strength from 4 to 5 bars varies depending on your device*** Ping is 137ms / down is 0.88 Mbps (or 880 Kbps) / up is 0.17 Mbps. If I go 1.7 miles up Rte one to N. Hampton (Home Depot / Staples) I get around 2-3 Mbps, even inside a building. I was able to stream on Netflix without issue at those speeds. AT&T signal is quite good WHEN it is good which, unfortunately, is not consistently enough. Still I have unlimited data (grandfathered) so for now I will stay.

fluctuating signal strength, dropped calls, GPS is off, tries to connect to Salisbury and West Newbury towers instead of the one 1 / 2 mile away...

Dropped Sprint in 2008, which never worked at home, and switched to AT&T, which at least allows us to complete most calls. We are a mile from the ocean, in Hampton at the border of North Hampton.

They are promising a new tower to be operational as soon as the court renders a decision. The tower is up with nothing on it until the judge say yay. Two nearby residents are posting a last ditch stand with little hope. Four carriers will probably sign on once it's over. Service sucks once you get east of Rt. 1.

We have had Nextel phone service (plus the direct connect) for 2 years now and we can NEVER get any recpeption in our home. We keep complaining to Nextel but all they do is give us a warm fuzzy sales pitch. The I hear we could move our phone service over to Sprint (which is really the same company since they merged). They say that Sprint Phone Service is more powerful and "might" give us better recpetion in this area of NH Seacoast. Before we make the move from Nextel to Sprint service we want to hear from others who have Sprint. Anyone think that Sprint phone service is better than Nextel in Hampton NH close to Exeter ?

Signal rings in and out, but always drops call after about 2-3 minutes. Seacoast has tough reception as it is, but dropping calls religiously gets to you quickly.

My reception is horrible. My bars go from 1 to 3 and then it starts roaming then the signal fades and the call is dropped.

Can recieve texts, can send texts (after 2-3 tries) Often times will miss a phonecall but recieve a voicemail alert a minute later. I tried calling myself from a house phone. Sometimes I can outward dial but I usually use a house phone. Cell service in NH defies description on any carrier.

Half way to the beach and five corners has no reception whatsoever.

Pointing my phone toward the beach area will give me better reception, otherwise I get 1 to 2 bars in my house and around my yard. I miss calls frequently, and text messages and voicemails usually come in 30 mins later.
