I've lived here for about 9 months and hadn't had a problem with coverage in this area yet. I consistently have full 3G coverage. Coverage all through Northern VA seems pretty good. Very few times do I not have 3G coverage, and in those cases I generally have pretty good EDGE coverage.

Potomac Garden Apartments, Sugarland. 2 bars at best, indoors and outdoors, and generally lousy service indoors. Ironically, Cingular's coverage map says this is a "Best" reception area. Must drive well south and west to get decent reception, so I generally leave the phone off at home.

Cingular Store (irony, thy name is Cingular) in Cascades Marketplace and Starbucks across the street - 1-2 bars. Cingular coverage map claims "Best" reception in this area, but only a small percentage of open areas actually deliver 3 or more bars.

Varies from 0 to 2 bars. Nearly impossible to use in the house. Very poor service all around the Lowes Island area and most of Algonkian Pkwy.

Even though you have reception, call quality is 0. Conversation is based on merely guessing what the other party may be saying..Regret switching..

Calls deteriorate as you head north on Seneca Rd. toward the Potomac, and always drop at some point - usually back back toward Beach Mill. I live at the north end of Seneca, and either have to end my calls before getting on Seneca (on my way home), or wait until I'm off (if I'm on my way out).

Generally get either 1 bar or no service in the Sugarland Run neighborhood. Service on surrouding Rt7 and on Algonkian is ok, but not great. Seems to be a similar problem for my friend's Verizon phone.

There is no reception on AT&T GSM phones in the Cascades area. My company recently switched from AT&T TDMA (which was acceptable) to AT&T GSM. I now have just 1 bar at home on the 2nd floor and none anywhere else in the entire region. Stuck with it.

Extremely poor reception. Don't even bother making calls unless i'm on the Balcony or a certain corner of the house. This area needs a Cell tower badly.

Poor coverage, frequent dropped calls even though it is a heavilly populated / traveled area. Frequent calls to Sprint have failed to produce any results as far as improving coverage. If you're in your house, FORGET IT!

Good coverage along route 7. Very spotty coverage in the Cascades area away from Route 7 -- locations on the river side of the hills are blocked from the Route 7 towers and only one tower on the Maryland side just east of Leesburg is providing any direct coverage along Algonkian -- and service from that tower has been fluctuating between average to non-existent over the past 5 months. Not reliable for emergencies if you walk / bike in the area.
