AT&T voice coverage is excellent in the urban areas of La Crosse County including the City of La Crosse, Onalaska, most suburbs - French Island, Shelby, Holmen, etc. The further away you get from the urban area of the county towards the east, like most carriers, the poorer the signal gets. Overall, AT&T voice coverage here is great!

I have two different phones (a Motorola and samsung), right in La Crosse and I routinely now drop calls when I only used to on occasion. Sometimes I get zero bars at my house, sometimes 2-3. Of course, the calls I drop are usually important and it makes me look like an idiot. Never had this issue with Alltel, or US Cellular, I think it's time to look elsewhere. I read someone else say that Verizon stopped using a tower in Rushford, that may be a contributor. Also I read that if you hit *228 and attempt to update the towers it can actually work against you as Verizon has less towers now in certain places than it did so when you update towers it can actually take them away instead of add them. I'm not a genius at how cell towers work, so this could be wrong info - all I know is my phones used to work OK, and now they are both working mostly crappy.

Awesome reception, 4 and 5 bars all the time. I have never missed a call, or had a dropped call, and 3g is always on and FAST! Verizon is very fast and reliable.

Generally good, since there is no T-Mobile tower here in La Crosse though, if the weather is bad, sometimes I get only one bar. Also, T-Mobile uses other towers (mostly Einstein shows up on my phone) and when I head out past Coon Valley, it drops the call to switch towers every time. All in all, ok reception.

Superb coverage in entire greater La Crosse region - from Arcadia to Viroqua. No static or dropped calls.

works everywhere in town and in the surrounding bluffs,never had a dropped call or zero bars,in lacrosse alltel's coverage rocks

I have never had another carrier so I don't have anythign to compare to. However, I get good to moderate coverage.

We get no service now, after having good service for a year. Have tried using the 'roaming only' setting but still no go. Sprint just says 'too bad'. I have to say too tho that reception in everyother place seems to be great, even in Canada.

everywhere IN la crosse and surrounding is good, except where I work, on SMITH VALLEY, NO BARS at all, kinda sux so ill havta switch to alltel. other than that spint is good here

My reception is horrible. I'm always in Einstein Mobile's range, and I call 411 and get Einstein Mobil's Directory assistance... .I can't walk while I'm on my phone or my call will drop, it's almost that bad.
