Verizon has been terrible in Arvada, especially at our house and within 1 mile. It seems to be getting worse. Their reps continue to make promises and lie about improvements to no avail. Don't get this carrier in Arvada!

Never, Ever, get Sprint if you live in Westwoods. It is a waste of money and has horrible reception. The only time I ever got above 0 bars was in Downtown Denver.

Dead zone, dropped calls. Western Arvada and Westminster areull of dead zones. Even C470 between I-70 and Lucent has dead zones. Throughout the Denver metro, I get garbled audio on & off. Sounds worse than analog. Verizon has an archaic, legacy voice mail system (no auto login like Sprint) and spotty coverage. I can't believe they were voted best overall by CR!

I had a Nokia 1260 that had very poor service in most of aurora including on 225 so I went to the AT&T store next to Sportsman's Warehouse and the salsmen told me that the phone I had was very poor in receptoin. So the Motorola v60i phone would solve my problems. Well 80 bucks later and another year with AT&T, I almost say the reception is WORSE. So I bought the 30 dollar external antenna and adapter, now I only drop half of my calls and usually get another 10 minutes talk time before the phone allows me not to hear the other party and they can hear me just fine. I usually use my roomates Verizon phone and service when available, no problems with that service. Come November I am switching.

This area never has reception for either Cingular or AT&T but has great reception with T-Mobile

ATT coverage is aweful anywhere in East Aurora. Usually 0 bars. They blame the phone, but when I bought it they said it was the best. I blame AT&T coverage.

I always get dropped as I am switch from on cell tower to the next, on Arapahoe Rd. just west of Parker Rd.

Verizon doesn't work well in my home. I barely get a signal at my home. Most of the time the phone will ring but if you answer it the call will be dropped. We called Verizon and they said that they don't have any plans to fix the problem as of now. Seems that Sprint / Nextel works in the area and T-Mobile has decent coverage there.

0-3 bars although calls are dropped consistently. Sprint says they are updating their service daily and we've even had a 'technician' come out to determine the signal strength in the area. 3 years in the neighborhood with no success. Calls are dropped or there is no reception within the neighborhood and inside of our home.

Absolutely no reception. ATT / Cingular users, Sprint users, even Cricket users can make calls. My phone won't even attempt it. Works very well (only drops calls in 4 spots), from Interlocken to NE Thornton (144th / Holly), where I live. Marginal reception downtown, or at DIA.
