t-mobile service recently bought out from suncom. service is generally good in bristol area with the exception of the areas around king college. I have dropped calls numerous times on e cedar street beside king college and on booher rd on the other side of the campus. I complained several times to suncom to no avail and will contacy T-Mobile to see if they will help. my daughter goes to king college says she has 0-1 bar there while her classmates have no problems with their networks. doesn't seem to be a good selling point where lots of potential customers are in school there.

I have had Verizon for nearly 8 years and the coverage has just gotten better. I moved to Chattanooga, flown to St. Louis many times, and even called my mom from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco, and the coverage has never failed. The only place I ever had any problems was out at South Holston lake and they fixed that last year.

Coverage mostly fantastic all over Bristol, but fades while taking Volunteer Parkway / 11E away from State St.toward Wal-Mart on the parkway. Lots of dropped calls, poor reception. Customer service has been little to no help.
