The AT and T website shows cellular reception in this area as "Good". Don't know how they test this, because almost everywhere I've been in New London has next to no service (mostly no service). The same is true of the other carriers who claim to provide coverage to this area... .. And it seems to be worse now than a few years ago. So much for progress... .

Since my comment on Feb 8 about no signal with my Safelink Wireless Tracfone, Tracfone finally gave me an AT&T SIMM card, so I'm on AT&T's network rather than T-Mobile's. I've have good reception in Penacook and Boscawen ever since. But I'm in the process of moving to CANTERBURY right next to the school and across the street from the Municipal Building. DEAD ZONE! My Safelink Wireless Tracfone has absolutely NO service even with the AT&T SIMM. A US Cellular Motorola Razer3 shows one bar and will make a call back to Penacook, but it uses a lot of battery charge and is showing as roaming. I guess I can look forward to many more hours on the telephone with Safelink and Tracfone trying to get service in Canterbury. With all the obscenely wealthy people in this town, you'd think we could afford a cell tower :o)

About 2 yrs ago the ATT towers were ugraded to 3G vs edge and 3G coverage has a longer coverage reach. So my phone on Ash Swamp went from 0-1 bar on edge to 4+ on 3G. The pathethetic part is that Downtown is stil a zero coverage zone and I called ATT and still no plans to fix it.

Must go to the top of the hill past the Canaan Center store where it becomes Canaan St. to get any reception at all. Daughter comes to visit from MA. and must walk up to top of hill to use phone. I don't own a cellphone, as we have no reception here.

Spotty at best. Even with 3g and full bars, can't always make calls, text, net, anything. Currently, no signal at all. Using wifi at T / A truck stop. Will call Customer Service tomorrow

I have to travel about 1 / 2 mile to receive an reception. Very bad since I have rented a location for a month not knowing I could not receive phone service.

According to a website graphic, I supposedly have cell service here on Echo Point Rd.in Alton Bay. We face the mouth of the bay. Unless I am standing on my dock as close to the edge as I can get, we have no bars. Nothing. This is the 22st century. Put up the darned cell tower and stop spending my tax dollars fighting something that is inevitable.

Moved here from Massachusetts, where reception is very good. Reception downtown / near the Capitol is good. Reception at my house near the law school is nil, despite AT&T's insistence that there's a tower at the corner of Washington and Main Streets. No reception at all inside Concord Hospital, which looks like is a longstanding issue.

Love the iPhone hate the lack of reception

No reception in my house = have to go onto the porch and still yesterday could get nothing. They said it is because my location is between three cell towers and down a hill. Verizon seemed to work as did Sprint - will have to go to another carrier.
