I get so frustrated with the service, everyone else I know has no problem in the Brattleboro High School area, however, I have no bars / service etc.I don't really know of anyone else with AT&T, they all have other carriers that work. Just waiting for either a tower or my contract to run out, whatever comes first. Does anyone no if a tower is in the works? I keep being told to hold out, well 2 years of holding out and I think I am done.

Cingular now has limited service in this area of Vermont. Unicel(RCC) Rural Cellular Corp. is now converting their towers to GSM which Cingular has signed a contract with. Service will start to pop up at the ski areas and along I-91 as Unicel continues its build out. The service is very limited but its expanding. I've been investigating Southern Vermont's cellular coverage for some time now and still haven't come across anyone who has great service except the small cellular companies that reside there. ie... Us Cellular(CDMA) and Unicel(GSM). Verizon has analog(AMPS) in Southen Vermont but analog is the worst ever. The best technology for the future is (GSM). The majority of the world uses this technology. So if you travel overseas then this is what you want. Cingluar's (GSM) is building up pretty quick. There are dead spots here and there but all cell companies have their dead spots and problems especially in Vermont. Usually the cell companies give you a short time to try out your phone. Nextel is also putting up towers along I-91 for those of you interested in walkie-talkie. They operate on a separate iDEN network created by Motorolla. They have limited technology but should expand with the merger with Sprint. In conclusion if you can wait for the technology to get better I suggest you go with (GSM)Cingular in Vermont. The service will only get better.
