I get 5 bars in my apartment always. I get a dead spot at my girlfriend's house up the road by Seward Park, but she has a separate carrier and also gets dead service in her house.
I must live near a tower, as reception is very strong when at home. 3G both upstream and downstream speeds are about as good as it gets. This varies though, a lot, on the rest of Capitol Hill. Something odd with my device though. It's an unlocked Windows Mobile unit and until recently, I used it with T-Mobile. Switched service after pre-ordering an iPhone 3GS and am using the HTC device until the iPhone arrives. Never had issues with it on T-Mobile, but when it's hooked up to AT&T, it randomly and spontaneously reboots itself :(
2 bars and consistently dropped calls, Sprint very unhelpful, states the phone is the issue, am eligible for upgrade in 20 days, they state they are unable to change that to rectify the problem, that I can use my insurance to get a refurbished phone to get thru the next few weeks. really don't seem to care about customer service
Chronic lack of coverage. Many dropped calls over the 10yrs with Nextel. GAve up and got ATT but not much better in this area, CD and Cap hill but esp along 23rd ave north of Yesler to montlake. Good luckl
dropped calls often. 4 trys to really connect. Worse inside but even here on top of ridge poor coverage. Fade in and out on call. I call 611 and drop that call. They sort of believe me. I can see some towers from roof but can not call down the block. YIkes. My neighbors say 30th and Yesler house has bad call coverage even with T Mobile and Sprint. GAD
Great T-Mobile reception in the International District? Are you kidding me? I'm at the public library at 713 8th avenue south in the heart of the international district and my prepaid Samsung phone has NO SERVICE! I advise anyone to steer well clear of T-Mobile. Do not buy the hype! They are WORST provider in the industry. Steaming back from Alaska two years ago, middle of Gulf of Alaska, everybody has two or three bars but stupid T-Mobile. Run away from this company!
I haven't had a dropped call with Qwest since I bought the M1 2 years ago. Used to get dropped calls just north of the airport a few years ago but it seems to have improved. Too bad Qwest is discontinuing their cell phone service next fall.
Verizon drops all calls in / around my house. It does this for all Verizon phones. We use to have excellent reception and within the last month, it has gone to crap. Don't bother calling Customer Service- they won't do anything.
