Johnson St. & Gorham / Midvale Blvd. & University Ave., Madison, WI 53701 Fri Jul 09, 2004

Major USCC Dead spots! The entire city works had gread reception with USCC except Johnson St., and Gorham, in that neighborhood. Always drops calls while passing through there. Also, when near the Midvale Blvd. south of University Ave., 0 signal strength. I know this because my doctor's office is there. Sometimes the phone will go to analog, and drain your battery. I'm assuming this is because of the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) hypocrites. Those are the people who complain about cell reception, but don't want cell sites in there neighborhoods.

No reception in house, poor reception outside of house. Better reception with T-Mobile and Verizon phones. Tested with multiple Sprint phones.

Signal for voice and data is bad, a lot of times it is non existent. Can roam with good signal. Verified on two other Sprint smartphones. This is the second time this drop in signal has occurred. Signal was great for a couple weeks, and now it is back to garbage.

I'm a few blocks from the capitol, and it's all but unusable here. Sometimes I see 2 or 3 bars, but every other word cuts out and the call usually drops after a few minutes. I've tried to make calls when I'm out sometimes, State St. or the square, but it hasn't been much better.

For over two months I haven't been able to make or receive calls in this neighborhood. Zero bars. Terrible / non-existent service. I've wasted many hours on the phone to Virgin Mobile and they will tell you whatever you want to hear, but they will not actually fix the problem. If you live in Madison DO NOT choose Virgin Mobile.

E. Wilson St. / Downtown, Madison, WI 53703 Thu Jul 28, 2011

I don't understand all these negative Sprint coverage comments. I have great reception in Madison. It's when I get out of Madison that I have to use someone else's phone. I don't have internet access though.

Downtown Madison / East Gorham St., Madison, WI 53703 Sat Jul 23, 2011

I never lose reception in my apartment, neighborhood, or even downtown for that matter. With the exception of a few times when I have been in buildings that tend to block reception for anyone.

For the last couple of weeks I have had little to no coverage. If I am able to place a call it surely will drop. Coverage has not been great, but lately has been unacceptable.

I often cannot text or call from my house, let alone get data. Sprint is sending me the Airave that I am supposed to try using through my internet; we will see how that goes. I really do not recommend Sprint in this area.

Gorham, Madison, WI 53703 Wed Oct 06, 2010

No reception for blocks and blocks on W Gorham. No coverage or reception in apartment on Gorham. NO COVERAGE inside buildings on State St. and ALL around. Dropped calls everywhere else around Madison outside of 53703 zip code. Coverage sucks at best!
