Inside hotel, no reception at all. Outside, my reception fluctuated between 1 bar and 2 bars (out of a possible 5).

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 :(

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.

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.

Jefferson Hall, W&M Campus, Williamsburg, VA 23185 Tue Apr 20, 2010

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.

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.

WM Campus (Yates Hall and Swem Library), Williamsburg, VA 23187 Mon Dec 22, 2008

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.

Ironbound Rd. / Sandy Bay, Williamsburg, VA 23185 Thu Oct 25, 2007

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.

143 / Corner of 199, Williamsburg, VA 23185 Wed Jun 13, 2007

Sprint sucks. I can never get a good signal in my house, not when I'm out and about. The only time I do get great service is when I am on 64. Its too dangerous to talk then.
