There is a tower a couple miles north of Milledgeville - in the Roby area - but reception drops off just one half mile north of my house. Visitors who have other providers get terrible to no reception here as well, so it does't seem to make much difference which company we use. It's like a black hole right here where I live, which is so frustrating since we can practically see the tower just north of us. I'm hoping the tower is an AT&T tower and will provide better service once it's converted (since the merger with Cingular) - at least this is what the service rep told me when I complained. But it makes it absolutely necessary to continue to have a land line.
