1-2 bars outside the builidings MCLAWS CIRCLE POOR - Single Bar outside and 0 bars inside Monticello Ave. 2-3 Bars outside 0 Bars inside Toano 3 Bars Outside 0 Bars Inside. In total - ATT = Crappy Service in Williamsburg

most of the time I have either one bar or no signal. Not truly safe for a military person who is on call 24 / 7. No help from AT&T either.

Worst reception I've ever had with ATT. More towers, or less customers... your choice.

Started off a year ago with decent reception, but have been experiencing more frequent dropped calls and unbearably slow data coverage. Getting more "server timed out messages," as well as duplicate texts.

Absolutely no reception at the resort. Paying 100 dollars a month, I should be able to get reception anywhere I decide to be! I got better reception with NTelos, and I paid less.

I've been here 6 months and it varies between 1.5 bars and no service at all. Looking forward to the end of my AT&T contract.

No reception in most buildings on campus, including mine. Outside my building I have good service about half the time and 1-2 bars the other half of the time but it is usually enough to make a call. I find it very odd that you can usually get 4-5 bars outside in Colonial Williamsburg but as you move west across campus the signal becomes worse and worse. There are places on new campus where I get little or no service even outside. Sadly, I upgraded my phone and renewed my contract the summer before coming here, so I've got another year left. Very disappointed. AT&T dropped the ball big time here.

If I wasn't on a two year contract with AT&T, I would switch in a second. I get absolutely no service inside the Jamestown buildings, or Swem, or many of the others. I used to get very little service inside my dorm in other buildings, though, not nothing at all. And when I called AT&T's customer service to tell them it's terrible on campus, all they said was "it's labeled as 'good service'". I told them I was standing right in the middle of it, and it definitely isn't good service, but my call was dropped and I didn't get a call back. I'm very frustrated with them at the moment, I mean honestly... why do other providers get service inside this building, and only AT&T has problems?

No reception inside the dormitory. AT ALL! Tried talking to at&t's costumer service and said that they don't guarantee calls from indoors WTF...

coverage is non-existent inside any building, and I am stuck on a contract, its ridiculous.

Varies from no coverage to 1 or 2 bars. Generally very unreliable around Williamsburg. Returned my iPhone and went back to Verizon's solid coverage after missing too many calls.

Calls drop. One or no bars inside any academic buildings or dormitories. However, works perfect on outside. In addition, signal gets stronger and stronger as one walks toward James Town Rd and Richmond Rd Interesection.

Cannot make calls out of our frame house or in this general area. But can receive cellular calls. Strange situation.

I have excellent reception using AT&T (formerly Cingular) as my wireless provider. I carry my cellphone everywhere as a safety measure, even when I play golf.

Wildly varying signal strength on AT&T in the Five Forks area. 1 bar or no service inside of buildings or near trees is the norm. Sometimes signal strength will jump dramatically, and go to 3-4 bars for no discernable reason. (Suspect that there's not enough bandwidth on the tower in this area.) Very frustrated with the fickleness of reception in the house; cannot rely upon cell phones while at home, so a land-line is a must. Calls will allways drop around Lake Powell, but resume again once you get closer to 199 on Jamestown Road. From 199 on signal strength is generally good to very good. Generally surprised with how good AT&T reception is downtown, considering how poor it is outside of 199.

No going outside, no standing in the driveway, no walking around on a nearby golf course... jusy pick it up and dial.

I thought reception was bad inside my Fraternity house built in the late 1900's, until I moved to VA. It's hard to even make a call inside my house, or even in my back yard. Over near Wal-Mart / Lowes it's not so bad, but it's sad when I get better service in Culpeper than I do in Williamsburg :(
