As of late, AT&T cell coverage has become terrible. E.g. long delays in transmitting text messages, dropped calls, loss of service. I'm curious if this is a homeland security issue in Manhattan affecting all carriers or if AT&T is just farming out its duties to subcontractors.
2 bars to 0 bars indoors. I pray never to receive or have to make a call in this area knowing it will be dropped or have spotty reception. 2g is almost as bad as 3g in this area.
This might be temporary as I have had reception here in the past, but now there is no reception between Spring St. and Houston St. on the west side of 6th Ave.
Ever since I switch from T-Mobile which was horrible to say the least. I haven't had anything but stellar service with At&t. My gf had Verizon and there wasn't one place in the city / long island or upstate that she got service and I didn't, love AT&T I do get dropped calls sometimes but 3G works great for me 90% of the time. Most people that have bad reception with AT&T and iphone are the same ones that refuse to update their phones or are just exaggerating about how they lose service. because I have been in many places with people with sprint / verizon / T-Mobile and with AT&T I always have service longer than any other carrier.
Reception is horrible all over tri-state area. Dropped calls, no service, horrible voice quality. Sounds like a cell phone from 10+ years ago if you can get a signal. DREADFUL
We recently moved from Chicago to Manhattan. AT&T service had been mostly reliable in Chicago, but is terrible in Manhattan. On street in front of our building, 'no service'. In various area on the streets, calls go directly to voice mail, and outgoing calls are impossible even when bars are strong. AT&T's network in Manhattan is in bad need of repair or upgrade. If it weren't for my beloved iPhone, I'd drop AT&T immediately.
the only place I've lost cell reception is on the NE corner of 40th St.and 5th Ave. (across from the NY Public Library). Step off the curb, and the reception is fine again.
