Sprint
I live between Redstone Arsenal west side and the Huntsville airport. Reception is awesomely great. However, when I lived close to University of Alabama Huntsville just northeast of Hwy. 72 and Sparkman reception was much poorer. I talked to one of the Sprint employees in the Madison mall store and they said that 4G was already being tested in Huntsville. If 4G comes, Sprint will be the best since it has no limits. ATT has a 2G limit, Verizon has a 5G limit. I use Netflix and the limit matters.

The network is extremely reliable. But the contracts are pricey. I want to try Boost. But I don't know how good the Sprint / Nextel Network is. AndI don't know if I could live without such a reliable network.

During this latest power outage I had zero coverage with T-Mobile. My landline POTS AT&T phone at home also lost power. What is the purpose of having POTS if they don't use UPS to keep the system up? I went to WalMart asked several folks in store if they had cell coverage. All the Verizon folks had like 4 bars. AT&T said maybe a bar and spotty signal at best. T-Mobile- nada. So I bought a cheap prepaid Verizon-and charged in WalMart parking lot. Reception was better than my POTS ever was. Looks like several Verizon phones in the near future and goodbye to the landline and T_Mobile.

Even with an AT&T store 3 miles away on Airport Road, service is spotty at best on Fouche, Sewall, and the entire Glendale subdivision. A different excuse every week.

One mile west of the courthouse on Washington Street, in the middle of town, the cell coverage sucks. Has for 9 years. Since the storm about 4 12,11, the coverage has dropped to about nothing.

My wife and I moved to Huntsville, AL from Oklahoma where we had excellent AT&T coverage (voice and data). The AT&T coverage and data here is terrible. I wish that I had waited on buying my Captivate and now I'm stuck for the next 2 years with this terrible coverage before I can switch providers.

Good coverage. Huntsville has no 4G though. Never drop calls... For some reason though, sometimes, I only have 1 or 2 bars, but even though voice calls are clear and do not drop!

Whatever, Sprint has good service pretty much all over the place. I travel for business and even go to some considerably remote locations (read: Fort Irwin, CA) and still seem to have good coverage. Also have a Verizon phone (business phone) and it gets good coverage too. Know people with ATT phones and they're okay. Used to have T-Mobile as my business phone, it was crap. Pretty much I think any of them are fine except for T-mobile. Sprint seems to be the best as far as prices though. Verizon seems a little high.

Sad. Service drops inside the house as of this year when it didn't in the past. Outside you might be able to make a call.

Works with varying levels of bars in the house most of the time. Driving in / out of the neighborhood calls will drop every time. At Publix and Dollar General, No signal. I work on Redstone Arsenal near gate 3, NO service at all in my building with AT&T or T-Mobile, Verizon phones have great service there. I'm about to try SPRINT as Verizon is pushing Motorola down everyone's throat and delaying the Samsung Fascinate (the phone I want) So, Sprint and the Samsung EPIC 4G is what I will be trying on August 31st, fingers crossed, I don't think it will be any worse than AT&T, but I don't expect it to be as good as Verizon, however Sprint is a lot cheaper.
