I just bought a Droid and I can never get reception out near Dulles. I'm not sure if it's the radar towers. This really bothers me whenever I am trying to work from home while sitting at a McDonald's or a Starbucks. I'm not sure what happened here but it isn't good. RonnieMac

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.

Reception is only possible in the backyard (sometimes) and occasionally on the 3rd floor of our house. Very poor coverage. Even though a cell tower just went up a block away!

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.

No bars. Sometimes rings, but intermittent voice, so I wind up calling back on the land line. Can only make calls from one corner of my deck. Also lose calls along the Pkwy. Have no idea who to switch to!

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.

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.

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).

I switched from Sprint to Verizon not long ago. The Verizon service is much better. The Motorola phone is great! I can even use the phone in my basment.
