Full bar in Newmarket; in fact with number of tests using Speedtest.net's app, it's faster and less congested than receiving data in Portsmouth. I've always been happy with Sprint / Nextel in this area. Where I came from in west coast had very spotty Sprint coverage but the towers seem to be abundant. Lately though not sure if they're upgrading the towers but the speed has gone down quite a bit. I don't think there's really any 'perfect' rating until 4G is rolled out and can get consistent speed above any cable network.

Sprint stinks! The lack of reception is maddening! Boo!

Ash Swamp heading west from Rt 108 to Rt 152. Service quickly degrades from 1-2 bars to zero - 1 after Grant. There are two area Towers; one in Newfields Rt 85 near RR Bridge and one behind Newmarket DPW on Rt 152. If either of these towers were used it would greatly improve service. But Sprint has shown no interest to my repeated email blasts. Plan is up in April, time for a new provider and deal.

Newmarket is known as the "Black Hole" for cell phones!

Poor to Zero in the SW corner of Newmarket / Newfields line I can't understand it as there are two overlapping towers in the area SBE and national grid but Sprint is't interested in improving service

Never dropped a call in one year of using my Sprint Treo all over newmarket.

Portions of Newmarket are great but the SW corner of Newmarket, into Newfields is terrible. Most of this is one bar or less. This is whre all the new construction in Newmarket is happening but the coverage is deplorable. There is a tower in Newfields on Baker St. by the RR tracks that would solve this problem and strengthen the weak signal at the Stratham Circle but Sprint isn't interested in using it. I've even complained to Sprint ecare to no avail.

Great service all over the Newmarket area (and many other parts of NH)... .no complaints.

Sprint has invested some serious money since the last posting 6 months ago... ..Go with Sprint, the signal is great all over. You just have to make sure you have a dual band phone and you can get signal almost anywhere.

New resident to Newmarket, Sprint says there is coverage but much of the town isn't covered. Glad my commitment is almost up, it's time to switch cell company and get a new phone.

This is the black hole of Newmarket. I've contacted Spint a number of times about their using other towers in the area but they appear not to be interested in servicing the new subdivisions in this part of town.

Sprint works well in Newmarket except in the SW quadrant. There is virtually no service in the Grant / Ash Swamp Rd area. I hope they put an antenae on the new Verizon tower on Simons lane or I'm changing service.

Poor reception, and calls sometimes drop. However this is better than Verizon who have zero reception at my house, and AT&T who have zero reception in most of Newmarket. I enter a roaming area on Grant Rd. (one mile from home), in parts of Durham, and in Exeter (at Phillips Exeter Academy).

I get one bar of reception on Grant Rd, Newmarket, two miles from town. My wife gets four bars on her phone w/AT&T. When I go to Conway NH, my Sprint service con only receive on roam. Verizon users do well in this area.
