Sprint coverage is gone by the time you reach Hampden-Sydney College, a mile off US 15; only expensive roaming is available on and around the campus, west on Five Forks Rd, and north on Back Hampden-Sydney Rd till you reach Farmville. In Farmville town, Sprint coverage is sporadic -- good on the northern side and on US 460 west and east, but in town it's sporadic (outside Wal-Mart it's possible, but in the store it's a roaming call). Hard to understand why Sprint never pushed its wireless division to build-out coverage here, as they own the local wireline-phone system and could've bundled quality cell service with it, as they do DSL broadband and satellite TV from other providers. US Cellular and Verizon are the only viable cell providers for Farmville-area residents.
