Verizon

Phone most often has 1 bar, at best and not often 3 bars and never 4... .frequently cannot connect to server. Pitiful and expensive

T-Mobile has excellent service in this area, but if you head to the burbs, or the country, the coverage is unpredictable and spotty. For example, it barely works in Round Rock, Pfluegerville, or even outside of town in Fredericksburg. Yet, the T-Mobile map shows solid service: Very deceptive! Hill Country (west of Austin) is best suited for AT&T, but the best coverage outside of that is Verizon— esp in San Antonio, Houston, El Paso, West Texas, or Dallas. Verizon has made their plans more valuable, so I may switch back. The pink kool aid doesn’t work in rural areas despite their map promises.

Dropped phone calls or calls won’t go through. ATT offers no help.

AT&T's wireless data service in Austin has been in the sewer since at least 2017. My phone will show 4-5 bars of "service" but web page loads just sit there. Numerous calls to AT&T over the years and multiple phone resets and updates have done nothing to improve this situation. I've been told that the city's tough regulations make it hard to build new cell towers. Then AT&T needs to prioritize maintenance and improvements to their existing towers! It is ridiculous that one of the most tech-heavy cities IN THE WORLD has such pathetically abysmal wireless data service.

I have had Verizon for 14 years and never had such terrible signal. I just moved over here and have virtually no cellular data and very limited signal to make calls and send SMS messages. Several time before moving here, while driving on Red River I’ve completely lost all signal to my phone. This area is like a black hole for cell signal.

I have had Verizon for years, but my service has become so inconsistent I’m going to have to switch. They claim that I am simply deprioritized at times, but it is so frequent that I am paying to only be able to use my device 50% of the time. I truelly believe that they keep adding users but have not increased their bandwidth and created multiple unlimited tiers last year to make more money while creating a system where they do not have to invest in additional infrastructure

Need a booster for any service at all. Can't drive down the street without a disconnection. I can't believe I still have this pathetic service. 10 years and never has improved.

1 bar at home hear just 2-3 miles from downtown. Can drive within 78704 for miles and never get a consistent data connection. Very frustrating when using apps that rely on the data connection. Had Verizon previously and it was much better in this same zip code.

How did I go from no problems in Smithville to practically no coverage in Austin? Moved into a new place that gets little to no reception
