Had ATT forever (like, since it was CellOne Boston, then Cingular, etc.). Never had a problem. Got lured to T-Mobile - horrible coverage all around Boston. Dropped calls, static, SLOW data, etc. Tried Sprint. Same thing, except I now couldn't get calls even in my home. Back to ATT about 5 years ago. Even from the edge of the Grand Canyon, I get a good signal and data (albeit slow data on the canyon's edge). I know it costs more, but ATT's network is smooth and solid. So, unless the others step up, ATT it will be.

Up on the hill my phone drops calls and rarely does it ever get 4glte for data. I have complained but some person in India doesn't really seem to care about my problems

Calls dropped most of time. Sometimes no signal on the bar, or maybe one bar. Could not wait for contract to end.

I'm very happy with my $30 / mo prepaid plan (unlimited texts, 5GB data before throttling, 100 mins voice). LTE data speed is amazing, often faster than WiFi! Switched from Virgin Mobile, and the improvement in coverage and speed was tremendous.

I cannot receive calls most of the time. Odd noises but no ringing to my apartment. My best clue is if the call goes to voicemail. Then when I check voicemail and if a message has been left I can call the parties back. Also, calls drop multiple times even when on the line with a Verizon technician in a call I initiate from home. Verizon says it is because my building is old, made of brick and or concrete. Verizon representative promised me that with a new phone and another 2 year contract nothing will improve in terms of my ability to get and hold calls while at home.

The reception is good on MIT campus and in my dorm on Albany St. Haven't had any dropped calls. I use wifi usually and can't comment on data.

Maseeh Hall on the MIT campus has extremely poor AT&T cell phone reception inside the dorm. I called AT&T customer service today and they basically said that they had good signals in the area and they blamed the "Maseeh architecture" for the poor indoor reception. After having been a AT&T customer for the last 30 or so years, I'm switching to Verizon. Verizon customers have much better reception inside Maseeh.

Reception varies between bad and none, even outside on the Broadway sidewalk. I thought AT&T was bad for dropped calls, but they at least consistently delivered 3G. I am just trying switching to T-Mobile, and if they don't get their act together I'm cancelling; this is unacceptable.

I have bars and I have 3G showing and yet my apps fail, my internet sits and spins, and calls are fuzzy or drop every 20-30 seconds. I have horrible reception here in South Boston but also on the commuter train, in Back Bay and in the Financial District. I actually passed my destination because my phone's GPS said I was still 4 blocks away and it even had me indicated 3 streets over from where I was. The cell service in this city is horrific let alone trying to use data. It just plain doesn't work.

had good reception in my apartment for 9 years. now the sound cuts out all the time. I can only hear every 4th word of the caller and vice versa. I contacted Sprint and they claimed they are upgrading to 4G in my area.

I have no data at all in my building. I am paying $100 per month. ATT is the biggest rip off going. Can"t wait to switch!

No service at all whatsoever if you are going in the basement or Lower Level floors in any of the hospitals. It is the worst! Even in higher level floors, service is very crappy. And the only reason I switched is because someone was paying my phone bill! I am so disappointed with T-Mobile!

Even though t-mobile's coverage map shows us with great reception, it ain't so. We just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile for their prepaid service, and we have had really bad voice reception (barely intelligible), texts are not coming through, and forget the data. Stinks.

Very poor reception. I'm thinking of leaving ATT for Straight Talk Wireless. Don't know if signals will be any better with ST and new phone, but couldn't possibly be any worse. AT&T definitely not worth their data / rate charge for this service.
