I have had AT&T for several years now and it works great in Lynchburg. EPIC SIGNAL! They keep adding towers in my area, my signal keeps getting better, and having the 3G is awesome! Not to mention their 3G is way faster than the competition, plus that speed is being upgraded as well, and then 4G is coming. Assuming all things stay the same, I will never switch!

Horrible to non-existant AT&T reception in my house. If I'm lucky and I go outside and stand in my driveway, sometimes I get 1 bar, enough to make a quick call. Totally unacceptable! I work from home and am constantly missing calls. I also teach at Lynchburg College and the entire campus is a dead zone for AT&T - NO service at all. I'm getting out of this contract a.s.a.p.

Very poor coverage. I moved to the area in July 2010 and recently saw articles about "3G popping up on people's phones downtown," but I still struggle with 1-0 bars. I don't known how long I can hold out before switching providers...

This entire afluent community gets barely one bar of service. There are a few hundred students and teachers alone who'd switch to AT&T if the service would improve. I've been looking into repeaters for at least one dorm... The signal is inexcusible and is a saftey hazard.

Outside the reception is not bad. It is when you go indoors mostly. I get absolutely no connection at work (Liberty University). It's odd to think that a University of 10,000+ students doesn't have an AT&T tower nearby. There is also two other colleges in the area. When I'm at home I have a signal 90% of the time. When it gets cloudy I sometimes have problems. I wish AT&T would realize that they are loosing a steady stream of customers and would install a tower to remedy it. Every year, about 3-5,000 freshman come in. Kids with iPhones trade them in because they do not get any reception in the dorms or the main academic building. Most freshman with AT&T turn to Verizon and that includes whole familys if they're on a family plan.

Just forget getting any kind of consistent reception.

In the far western portion of the Fort Hill area, there is either one bar or no reception with AT&T. If you're inside of a home, forget it. I know AT&T's 1900MHz signal has a notoriously poor reputation around the area, but when you're in the middle of the city, you'd expect at least 3 or 4 bars. In fact, I'd expect that anywhere within city limits. Lynchburg isn't that large of a town.

I have read a lot of comments and agree WE NEED MORE TOWERS! Reception through parts of Timberlake Rd, ( suck) For the past 6 mths or so I've had one problem or another and each time I call they blame the phone, this, that or the other and it has become such a hassle... ..I'm lucky here lately if I get one bar, and usually have to wear the blue tooth inside to talk at all. I hope ATT wakes and up and realizes we do more towers and espeically through certain parts of Timberlake Rd, they might be losing some good customers within the near future.

No reception in much of my home. I work from home. I am not pleased.

I get service pretty much everywhere except in my home and the Wyndhurst Community.

Recent crossover from Alltel to Cingular because I go to college in Orlando. Service in Lynchburg is not nearly to the par of alltel. If I have two bars it is a miracle. Service at AREVA NP at Old Forest Rd is decent, but once again Alltel is the best for VA. If you are sometimes in VA Cingular will suit you fine also.

I get 2 bars at most at my house and about 80% of my calls I make while at home get dropped. As far as around the city, I still get a lot of dropped calls. So much for the most bars anywhere and the least dropped calls. They definitely need to work on coverage around here, as well as customer service.

Cingular TDMA has done remarkable eventhough they are phasing this service out with the GSM. the only place were it is not good is in my home in the boonsboro area. I would like to know how well is GSM in this area. One other spot that is bad is near the 'YMCA' on enterprise where the road takes a dip.

I have had terrible reception using Cingular, I have no reception at our house, very poor in the Wiggington area, and spotty and dropped calls within Lynchburg City. Very disappointed in Cingular wireless for this area.
