VzW's proposed CHAPEL ACRES cell site at rr8616 Pohick Rd (Calvary Korean Baptist Church) is still being held-up by Fairfax County DPWES officials, with latest bond payments made 1 / 24 / 07 per county's LDSnet web tool. The site is now supposed to be fully in-service by the first half of 2007, assuming the County staff doesn't stall it any longer. Until that time, there is very little usable signal for VzW users, especially those living near the low-lying streambeds and lake districts nearby. Closest legacy VzW sites are over 3-5 miles away near Newington, Lorton, Butts Corner, Five Points-Burke VFD, West Springfield, etc., none being close enough to provide adequate signal strength for more than a few seconds -- hardly enough to place / receive calls.

Awful. I have to leave the building to make a call. (But as soon as I leave the building, even on the patio, the wireless internet cuts out.)

i was told by a Verizon employee (3 yrs. ago) that a new tower was just placed in Goshen, which would give me excellent reception on Walkers Creek Road. Wrong... ... ... there has never been any reception anywhere on that road, and there is no tower in Goshen. Went as far as to tell me the tower was at the fire station. No service until almost to the interstate.

stays on analog all the time untill you get to warrenton or culpeper

Cingular sucks in Stanley, Luray and Shenandoah area. When my contract expires, I'm going to find another carrier. I understand a new tower was built behind Page County High School by Sprint. With Cingular... dropped calls, no coverage... it is horrible.

Sidekick T-Mobile has no range at all. I tried everywhere and still nothing works. from I-77 to grundy, va and around I would say 50 to 60 miles circle outside of grundy va has no signal at all.

As with my Verizon 1xEVDO card, My Sprint PPC-6700 gets ZERO signal unless connected to an external antenna and signal amp.. then it gets 2 bars, but the signal drops make it next to impossible to use for anything more than txt messages.

No reception with the 1xEVDO card alone. I get 2 bars (-90db) with a signal booster AND an external antenna, but I still only get flaky at best 1xRTT signal.

No reception at all in most locations on property between Columbia and Hadensville, Virginia. Spotty reception toward Hadensville; less toward Columbia.

Can get no service in or outside of my townhouse. using this website I see Cingular has 4 antennas very close to my house I will be switching. My sister has Sprint and has the same problems
