This comment is really about cell phone reception in Madison in general. My husband and I lived there for several years, we have also intermittently lived at other parts of the country but drive back to Madison regularly so we have experience with reception at many points in a radius of about 1000 miles around Madison. We currently have three different phones with three different phone companies: AT&T, Verizon, and US Cellular. No matter which phone, no matter which service we use, the reception in Madison is worse than anywhere else. Today my husband drove from Oklahoma to Madison and called me at about 2-hour intervals along the way. No dropped calls UNTIL a few hours ago, when he arrived in Madison. My husband called back to say, "Wouldn't you know it--I'm in Middleton. Why does Madison have such horrible reception?" So, out of curiosity, I decided to check the web and find out, but rationally enough, everyone seems to think that their problems are caused by the carrier. Not true, it's just Madison, but I still don't know why.

Horrible reception all over town, even though phone displays a full signal (And it's not the phone; our entire family has issues). No 3G service either until 2009. Cingular was a lot better pre-AT&T, but now it's a horrible carrier. Stay far, far away.
