Mineral Point / Gammon Rd. intersection, Madison, WI 53705 Sat Nov 10, 2007

Location is by Madison Memorial High School. I get one bar and multiple dropped calls inside my home. No service in the office, which is located nearby. Many vendors who come into the office have to go outside the building to make / receive calls. I want to change carriers, but looking at the comments it appears that no major carrier is getting service in this area. Why aren't there more cell towers on Madison's westside? Cingular / AT&T was looking to put up a tower by the high school - what happened to that initiative? Are we suffering from the "not in my neighborhood" syndrome?

In the house? Nada. Out in the yard? 1 bar at best. In Sentry? Nada. Sentry's parking lot? 1 bar at best. Coverage vanishes past Menard's. Maybe that's why the rate's so good?

Very marginal signal in downtown Madison. My 2-yr contract just expired and I'm so ready to dump Verizon!

Ozark Trail / Old Sauk Rd. intersection, Madison, WI 53705 Thu Aug 02, 2007

I have very very poor reception, unreliable service. voice mail delivery commonly delayed by days up to one week. service calls are returned after several days to inform me of the following: 1) Indoor reception cannot be guaranteed (I love to sit on my front porch waiting for calls to come in January nights). 2) Foliage interferes in the sommer with propagation of the signal (do I need agent orange to improve reception?) and 3) additional towers are going up soon (This I have heard for 7 years and no improvement of the signal quality was noted). In one month my two year contract will end. I will be free to terminate this waste of money and toss my and my wife's Verizon phone, one of the long anticipated highlights of the year. Can you hear my anger and frustration?

PD / Maple Grove intersection, Madison, WI 53719 Sat Jul 28, 2007

I'm counting the days until our two year contract is up. Used to live near Gammon and Old Sauk and rarely got reception in our home. We have 3 phones and experience 2-6 dropped calls per day. Called and complained numerous times but it's a huge waste of time. Their customer service is dismal. Beware of Cingular!

In side my apartment I tend to get allot of droped calls unless I stand on my porch, sucky service over all, down around plateville service is almost next to none. Also, long connection times when I try calling people around here, up to 30 seconds sometimes

I recently moved and got Virgin Mobile, which I believe uses the Sprint network. I get 0 bars inside my apartment, and 1 bar outside and along Monroe St. With the one bar, I still can't make calls to people a lot of the time.
