Verizon is very reliable and works almost everywhere in the DC area... including the Metro! Unfortunately, my company has decided to contract with Sprint and T-Mobile. I have had Sprint before -- it was bad, not working in any buildings. I may go with T-Mobile just to not have to deal with Sprint and their (lack of) customer service. When I was with them, I tried for 4 months to get my employee discount, they kept promising it was done... and the next bill wouldn't include the discount. Of course, they have no way to make it retro-active! I finally gave up and went back to Verizon.

Verizon - great reception, stinky phones...

Connection consistently drops at this intersection. I don't get a signal at my house which is about a mile away from this interestion. There is also no reception anywhere on Vale Rd.

There are at least 3 dead zones along Hunter Mill Rd. as well as 1 along Lawyers Rd. Very frustrating. Just when you think it's safe to redial a dropped you are dropped again.

Excellent coverage even in buildings.

Have had Verizon Wireless for years and have had little to no connection issues all over the DC metro area and even across the country. I switched to Sprint PCS at one point to try and get a better deal but had a terrible time keeping a signal and switched back to Verizon 3 weeks later. Wish Verizon supported smartphones like the Treo, however.

Often can't use Sprint in or near my house in Dunn Loring / Merrifield area. Get zero of one bar. Other parts of Fairfax County also problematic. Calls drop on the beltway near the Dulles Access Rd.

Barely have signal at this location.

Too many dropped calls. Sometimes voice mail signal alerts me to message that came in a minute before without my phone ever ringing.

Terrible reception in the Dunn-Loring / Merrifield section of Vienna. Can only use Sprint sporadically in my house or surrounding streets.
