I think Sprint service was decent and it has gotten better over the years. I get it everywhere outside. I am able to walk around in the dorm and get good reception. The only better service in town is Verizon..my friend walks around in these limestone castles with perfect reception!

The only time I lose reception is inside a VT building that has cellphone blockers installed intentionally... and even there I get SOME signal. <3 Verizon!

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.

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

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.

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.

I'm living in Chasewood Downs and this is the third time since March 10th, 2008 that I couldn't get any signal when I'm staying around my apartment. Every time I called the customer service and they would send an engineer to fix the tower and it would take 5 days before the signals recovered. I have to go about 50 meters away from my apartment to receive and make calls. The network coverage here is disgusting!

Verizon is the best service provider in blacksburg area. Reception is good everywhere.. even in the basement of buildings on campus such as McBryde.
