Had to go outside and then would drop to 0 bars and disconnect.. It was so bad they ended the contract with no fees after only a few months. Sprint is a joke ! The coverage maps look good but in reality, real world reality, not their reality it is terrible. To Sprint it really isn't a problem. My neighbors wireless air card does not work either.

In Summer 2010 I could get 1-2 bars indoors, 2 bars outside, at a residence high above Seneca Lake. Since January there is no rec eption at all. If I walk 200 yds into a thicket of trees about 10' higher than then house, I can sometimes get a connection, but it never lasts more than 2 calls. T-Mobile has just chucked it in, I pre;sume to reduce tower rental expenses to make its b alance sheet look better for purchase.

Maybe T-Mobile should work on expanding their 3G coverage before they start working on their 4G coverage. T-Mobile in the Fingerlakes Area is below average. I never once had my coverage go to 3G - always stays on Edge, but I've never lost coverage either like with AT&T.

Always have had great reception with Verizon Wireless in Geneva. Much better than Sprint or cingular. Additionally when you travel outside of the population dense areas (read corn fields) - Verizon has a much better chance of working.
