Union Square, New York, NY 10011 Fri Jul 03, 2009

3g Service in Union Square NYC is non existing. I had a Nokia N75 and I thought my problem was the old handset (well thats what the AT&T store reps said trying to make me renew my contract ). Now that I have the iphone 3gs I get the same problem. I spoke with a rep at the AT&T store on 14th street and he told me to switch to EDGE for a week. I spoke to numerous reps over the phone and they said it seems to be faulty 3g cell towers in the area being worked on. I say we all should complain and get a class action lawsuit going on and get some money back or get AT&T to change the rates for 3G service... ..

Verizon works nearly everywhere I go in Manhattan. Only problem spots are my office desk next to a window (2 feet away works great) and in one elevator as it hits the second floor. The other two elevators have no problem.

Takes a long time to find the signal, but once found it works fine, even inside buildings as long as you're not more than 50 from a window.

Sheep's Meadow, New York, NY 10022 Wed Jun 10, 2009

Sheeps Meadow in Central Park seems to be a big dead zone for AT&T. My friend and I were trying with a blackberry 8300 and an iphone 3g. Can't get any calls through. Takes forever to get blackberry messenger or texts through. Forget about webpages.

Had no problems for long time. Roommate still has no trouble with Verizon reception. But ever since a building was built behind mine - 2 stories above mine - I can't carry on a conversation because it cuts out every other word even though I constantly have 4 / 5 bars. They gave me a free SIM replace and upgraded the software in my Razr - still the same problem. I must say the service people were great, even though the reception isn't.

Terrible coverage. Slow speeds. 3G blows. EDGE is too slow.
