47th and Admiral, Seattle, WA 98116 Fri Aug 24, 2007

Occassionally get 1-2 bars in some areas of the house. Multiple dropped calls / dead zones on surrounding steets. No coverage on lower floor of our house, where my husbands home office is... major problem. Have called multiple times and they always send someone out but it doens't change anything. My husband is doing this, yet again, but I am ready to try another phone co. Many calls and moving up chain to get out of contract with out $200 fee they want to charge us per phone (we have two)... But what is the point of continuing to pay monthy? We had to get a land line months ago... At least they are cheap now. I think I will also involve the BBB and start doing things in writing- seems to be the way to go, unfortunately.

2nd Ave. / Cedar St., Seattle, WA 98121 Wed Jul 04, 2007

I have been with Nextel for 4 years and have had nothing but poor service in the 2nd and Cedar area. This could be partly because we are shadowed by the KIRO building and I am in a room surrounded by concrete and multiple layers of drywall, but there are other providers (Verizom and sometimes Cingular / ATT) that work. I would like to give them a "0", but the other 25% of my day they work somewhat ok, so I rate them with "1"

19th Ave.E / E Highland Dr., Seattle, WA 98112 Tue Jun 19, 2007

Northeast Capitol Hill - 19th Ave E I have very strong reception on 19th Ave E near E Highland Dr. Things change quickly while driving south on 19th Ave E. Aloha is the beginning of The Dead Zone, which lasts until nearly Madison, I almost always drop calls here. Going north on 19th or 23rd towards SR-520 near Montlake, coverage improves near Boyer Ave E and remains very strong northward. But if you drift east on Boyer, the Dead Zone returns, all the way through Lake WA Blvd.north to SR-520,. Reception returns once you approach reach the SR-520 on-ramps.

I pull down better reception then the T-Mobile users, and the other AT&T user, which tells me reception has as much to do with the phone as the service. And I'm in a old, concrete basement apartment.

19th Ave.E. / Republican, Seattle, WA 98112 Sat Jun 02, 2007

I get one or two bar, if any. Most of the times, I get no coverage in my apartment. Worse yet, people who call me have reported that they get the "subscriber out of calling area" message and not my voicemail. Complained to T-Mobile to no avail. At first I thought there is general interference with cell reception in my apartment, but my friends with Cingular have no problems at all. So I can either break my contract or move.

I usually get 2-3 bars in upper level of house. In the lower level, reception is much worse. Outside reception is fair, but I occassionally loose signal.
