I rarely ever have problems with my Verizon service no matter where I am in the Seattle Metro area. Verizon is a great service. I pay a bit more than I would with other company's plans, but it is entirely worth it.

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 :(

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.

I get perfect reception all over West Seattle except by the Ferry Dock where it drops to 2 bars.

Never a dropped call. Three years. But no fun phones.

Good reception throughout the house in Wedgwood. No problems.

I want to dislike Qwest's service. Their phone selection is very limited and they seem like a wannabe service. But I've got to say, I never have a problem getting an adequate signal anywhere in Seattle. I can't remember the last time I had a dropped call. Now, ask me about Qwest service between Olympia and anywhere on the Washington Coast, and I'll tell you it's lousy, really horrible. ATT seems to be the best out there.

I live two blocks from the lake. I have perfect reception always in our area. Calls never drop - I wouldn't use any other service. I use my cell exclusively at my home - reception is perfect even sitting in my bedroom. My boyfriend has Qwest and his calls drop all the time - it drives him crazy!

Good reception. Even in a basement in this area. T-Mobile has trouble in alot of other locations (huge dead spots in / near downtown), but the best carrier for this location.
