(Chestnut Hill) / Mermaid Ln and GermanTown Ave. intersection, Philadelphia, PA 19118 Thu Aug 28, 2008

I live in Chestnut Hill on Mermaid Lane and walk my Dog every night. I find several blind spots with AT&T service. As I walk towards GermanTown I dropped service completely for a block and then it picks up a week signal at GermanTown. Did the same thing with T-Mobile and Sprint, Verizon was the best but I would drop signal completely in my house with them which was a whole differnet issue. No provider has been perfect and I've had the big Four and can only say you get what you pay for. Verizon is the best overall, AT&T is better in some places and has a few extra's. Verizon has much better cust. serv., not better than T-Mobile but the service with T-Mobile was no where near Verizon. Currently I am with AT&T, mainly for the sim card and ability to switch phones freely.

Within my building (#6) there is not reception for ATT / Cingular and has not been for over 2 years. If I walk outside the building about 30 feet, I can pick up a weak signal. Verizon actually works within the building.

I have lived here for nearly three years without a problem. However for the past two weeks, getting my calls to go through is a chore. Also, almost every call I make gets dropped during some point during hte conversation. I am looking to change carriers asap.

Indoor reception is impossible. Outdoor reception is not good either. I can hardly carry on with a conversation when the call was dropped from time to time.

The reception out here isnt bad, but the way the houses are made, I believe that they are the reasons why we have so many deadspots. I get reception outside of my home, ut the moment I step in my door, the phone reception dies (for every carrier). I have a hot spot in my room where I will get 3 to 4 bars, but I have to keep the phoen there and use a bluetooth headset to talk without movign the phoen due to fear of lost reception.

Cingular has great coverage here with signal even indoors in elevators. I used to have T-Mobile but due to poor cell coverage in this area, I switched.

Just switched from T-Mobile to Cingular for non-reception reasons. so far the coverage has been great. I used to have AT&T Wireless 2 years ago, and they were horrible, in this area, but the quality has steadily improved, and I almost always get max or max - 1 strength
