I have full bars on my phone,even when iI am in my walk-out basement.No Problem at all Love LG and ATT

Other providers in this area can get three bars at times and in some areas no bars at all.Sugarland Run Living area doesn't have a tower that I know of.

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.

Put transmitter ontop of light pole at Dominon HS.

No reception in home... hardly available in many parts of East and West Loudoun. Lousy service.

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.

Good reception all around. However a significant rise in mysteriously dropped calls (with 4+ bars!) since the end of November '04.

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.

Low point in the road and reception dies almost every time

This is true for all cariers, for whatever reason. Old Sterling, VA is totally not covered, while 0.1 miles from here the reception is 90%

So far the ONLY place where I struggle for a signal is my neighborhood (old Sterling). All other areas the reception is between 80 to 100%

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.

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..
