Past 4 years with Verizon has been perfect in this area. Tower at 176th and Meridian provides full signal indoors and out.

Sprint Nextel Sucks here. NO SIGNAL to 1 maybe 2 bars. When it was just Nextel, before the buyout, my Nextel worked great. But now, most visitors to my house complain that they get no reception at my house. I think I'm in a black hole.

It really depends on the weather if my phone goes into search mode or if I might have one bar. Every service has the same problem at my house. I have been with Verizon over 15 years, they are still the best reception at my house.

Reception on 94th east of 148th is best with Sprint than with T-Mobile or Cingular. I couldn't conduct business with T Mobile or Cingular before switching to Sprint out of my home office but now I can. Sprint has predictable bills and I'm happiest here. Calls drop on 94th at about 118th. Towers needed here badly.

Three bars out of five.

I get excellent service with Verizon, there are only a couple of spots higher in the hills that I don't get excellent reception.

T mobile sucks ass dont get it unless u want to get ripped off. I never get calls or can make them.

No reception at home just past where 128th turns into resivoir. Everyone that comes to my house looses signal within 1 / 2 mile no matter what carrier they use, Cingular, Sprint, T-mobile, Verizon, None of them work~

I get no reception inside my house, and maybe two bars (if I'm lucky) when I'm outside in my yard. The closer I get to 512 the better reception becomes. But the further south you go on the rural roads towards Eatonville the worse it gets. I had the same issue with my Verizon phone as well.

Now that my Qwest contract is over I switched to Verizon and my reception is better but still needs work, at least I can now answer my cell phone without dropping the call which is better than the Qwest reception, there just needs to be more cell towers in South Hill / South Tacoma between Meridian and Canyon.
