Horrible to no reception at Washington / Beacon in Brookline. You would think reception should be good in one of the major intersection in Brookline. Hope they improve it soon.

I signed a 2 year contrtact with AT&T only to find that there is absolutely no service in Stoneham. I have to drive into neighboring town of Reading before I get any signal bars. Switched phones twice, at a cost of $225.00, to no avail. Breaking contract, and going over to Verizon.

Horrible reception hole! I have reported this to AT&T dozens of times, but they don't care. Several square miles between Westwood and Norwood, MA where calls can not be made. Pitiful for Metro Boston!!!

Brighton Ave. / Higgins St. intersection, Allston, MA 02134 Fri Sep 10, 2004

Repeatedly missed calls; They went direct to voice mail while I held the phone. Any that got though had extremely poor quality. AT&T sucks in general. Voice message alerts would appear up to 14 hours later. A clerk in the AT&T wireless store told me that they are switching the TDMA equipment with the newer GSM thereby reducing the TDMA coverage. AT&T sucks.

My phone goes from Good reception to zero reception within 1 block. AT&T also drops calls consistently. Horrible customer service and spotty reception everywhere - cities and suburbs alike.

The carrier I have is Nextel. I worked in the South Plymouth area and had excellent reception but as soon as I get on the highway from Plymouth to the Cape the signal goes in and out. Once I reach the Cape as soon as I pull off the highway at exit #2 the signal is gone.

Nextel doesn't work here. Also customer service is very rude and will not terminate my 2 year contract for lack of service even thought their site survey confirmed my complaint of lack of service.
