I can get reception everywhere with this T-Mobile except in my house...or my neighborhood. I'm really disappointed with the service.

I call it "the blackhole." " It's the area from St. Bernadette Church, past Daventry and into the the Franconia Springfield Parkway. Anywhere in that vecinity, no receptio at all. It's as if there was some kind of "top secret" blockaded spot in that area.

that info must be right! i've seen a bobcat front-end loader on the church property next to a pile of new gravel. looks like they are starting to clear trees for a small driveway to the left of the church buildings. is this for the access road to the new cell site that Verizon is putting up there? I dunno, maybe? hope so! this is the small korean church wooded lot in the 8600 block of pohick, made up of a small brick church and lots of temporary trailer classrooms.

Good News Update, Late May 2007: Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus! The Fairfax County DPWES staff has *finally* approved almost ALL required permits for the NEW Verizon Wireless-named "CHAPEL ACRES" cell site. Construction is expected to begin soon, per the Miss Utility Of Virginia web site ticket listings. Locals should start seeing actual construction equipment on the Calvary KBC property soon, to make way for the camo "tree pole" (120'), base station hut, and service road. If all goes as planned, this long-overdue cell site may be in service and on-the-air by the early Autumn months(??) So, if you see a freakishly-tall fake tree rising above the treeline behind the new St. Raymond of Penafort RC Church, you'll know that a good signal is not far behind. To all of those far-too-patient-than-I-am folks in Newington Forest, Creekside, Lakes Mercer and Huntsman, Middle Creek, Glenwood Manor, Lakewood Hills, etc., your wait is almost over. We have many friends who live in this large Middle Valley dead spot and our phones never work when we visit them. Some of these people have waiting almost 2 decades to get Verizon Wireless to place a tower here. Lots of letters written to politicians, HOA's, regulators, utility company execs, etc. Hope you long-suffering Springfield residents can finally get a signal down that way. Good luck! Guess if you lived in Great Falls, you would have had micro-cells placed in 1996. LOL!

My Verizon cell phone is useless in my house. I'm lucky to get 1 bar. Most cell phones used in my house also get poor signals.

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.

According to Fairfax County Govt website (posted public info), Verizon Wireless applied for NEW cell site several years ago at 8616 POHICK RD (aka: Calvary Korean Baptist Church property) for a new 120' stealth tree-pole for their proposed "Chapel Acres" cell site. Unfortunately, application has been tied up by county staffers, DPWES, etc. Letters have been written to County Board supervisors, etc., to no avail. County wants proffers (freebies like street lights, shrubs, paved trails, etc.) before it will let them put up the site. Some county staffers estimate approval may occur soon. Site *may* be in-service by late 2006. But, we've heard that before! This area has been a dead spot for almost 2 decades. What gives??!
