The reception isn't bad outside, but as soon as you enter any building forget it. There are a lot of problems where service will randomly cut out too for about a minute or two, which really sucks if you are making a phone call.

Coverage fell dramatically this summer, now we have to go into the front yard to use the phone (and even there get 2 bars max). Going to take the penalty for breaking contract 9 months early to move to Verizon.

Terrible reception, always cutting out, wish I had gone with verizon

The reception drops all the way up Harding, and then disappears as you leave the city limits. No service at all down the Catawba Road.

No reception at all

The reception was great pretty much everywhere I went, except for a few places on campus particularly in West End and the dorm AJ.

Decent service throughout Blacksburg. Has improved over the last few years.

Sprint service is terrible throughout Blacksburg. I've been in two VT dorms, an apartment, downtown and on campus and I get little reception.

I live on a first floor apartment (2 apartments above me). The reception here is horrible. My phone is almost always in roaming. Rarely can I get a signal at all in my apartment and sometimes I can't even get a clear signal outside my apartment.

Sprint works fine in my office and on local roads (except for one place on the 460 bypass on the way to Christiansburg) but it's terrible in the house-- only one or two rooms are barely tolerable.
