Verizon

Inside my home near Barton Creek I rarely get 2 bars but usually only 1 and calls drop 90% of the time before conversation ends. Verizon offers to sell me an extender for $150 with no guarantee it will help. They are overpriced as it is and they should be responsible for poor service. The maps they use to sell service shows I should get strong service. I believe they are using deceptive trade practices.

Verizon is now terrible in Northeast Austin. I left Sprint when their tower went badly out of tune and remained so, from then on. Now, it appears Verizon is having the same issue. There are no tower climbers based in Austin, and they are in short supply around the country. There is no national certifying body for the profession. "Can you hear me, now?" "HELL NO!"

Many dropped calls inside my house and along Westlake Dr.and 360 in canyon by Pennybacker bridge. Otherwise, I am usually able to connect.

Cell reception downtown keeps going from 3 bars to 1 bar and my girlfriends ATT does not.

Drops calls all the time on mopac. Streaming while drivinging is impossible. Truly crappy service here.

AT&T: Horrible cellular signal. Very very difficult for both parties on each end of the cellular phone connection to understand each other. I am in a building with thick concrete walls, but have big glass windows and a balcony. The reception gets only a little better when I stand near a window or on the balcony. No other buildings surround my building, (On top of that my AT&T 4G data plan is effectively 3G anywhere I go in Austin. )

Never had a problem with Sprint until I moved to South Austin. Now it is problem problem problem. Just nothing but problems. Poor reception, dropped calls, missed calls, inability to make calls, calls going straight to voicemail, texts not working. It's terrible. And so is the customer service.

For about a year, cell service has been week in central Austin and West Austin even with a new iphone 6.

I have had AT&T for 5 years in Austin, TX. The quality of coverage has gotten worse. Even on a new retail-packaged phone, I only get 1 bar in most of of the city, 2 sometimes, and rarely 3 or more. I am often downtown, in South Austin, or in the Spyglass / Zilker area. Coverage is horrible all-around.

Lived downtown for the last 3 years and have had 2 different phones in that time and both consistently have had weak signal outside and barely working while inside. I never ask friends to do a speed test in front of me or it makes me want to cry. You would think a tech savvy place like Austin would have better cell service.
