Since August 2004, I can no longer get any reception in my house ("emergency calls only" is all I get). I have continued to call At&T to no avail. Prior to August 23, 2004, I was getting a signal at my house.

Overall I am VERY pleased with Sprint's service. I switched from tMobile because for most of my commute on the GW Pkwy. I had NO service. I managed to talk my way out of my contract with no fee due to the coverage issues. My house was a huge dead area, too (west of Rt. 1 between Old Mill Rd, and Frye Rd). So I switched to Sprint. Sprint does much better on te Pkwy, with the exception of a spot off of Fort Hunt Rd., in the area of Sherwood Hall Road. My house has iffy service for every carrier, but as soon as I leave my neighborhood Sprint has a full signal. If you have bad service, don't take no for an answer. I kept calling and I kept prtesting that it's not safe for my family or I to have had cell reception for 75% of my drive home. Overall Sprint is the way to go.

Unbelievably bad reception. What could the reason for such bad reception be in such place in the USA? This is so late 90s!

Higher elevation of my neighborhood does up to 3 bars but the lower areas of the hilly topography in Mt. Zephyr do not. One bar with some carriers, 0 with others.

Reception has gotten noticable better over the past year or so. With a basic home repeater I have 3 to 4 bars in the parts of my house that I need it most- typically 2 to 3 bars, which is all you really need to keep from dropping calls.

I only get 1 bar usually no bars. number of bars will show then drop to zero after phone is dialed. I have received repeted assurances that Cingular claums to have good receptionn here. That is just not true.

The AT&T TDMA signal fails on the GW Parkway south of Waynwood at least as far as Ft. Belvoir. No signal in my home just south of Mt. Vernon.
