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..
