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.

Had Verizon and my daughter has T-mobile. Neither worked in the Cascades area, but Nextel is solid full strength, even in the basement of the house.

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.

Had Sprint for years. Works great on Broad Run Dr. and Youngs Cliff Rd, however it drops calls on Persimmon (behind hill) traveling into Countryside. Does not work at the 3 schools along Algonkian Pkwy.

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.

Sprint PCS has the best service in the DC area in my view. If you're having problems getting a signal, I used to also. Until I switched to a Sanyo Sprint PCS Phone. Sanyo spends the most time working with Sprint to make their phones. Samsung, LG, Motorola, they all suck with Sprint. Stay with Sprint and get a Sanyo.
