5 Out of 5 (5 stars) | Piedmont Ave., Oakland, CA 94611 |

I have used Verizon for about 10 years and have been very happy with the reception and their customer service. I always get a signal inside my house, and usually a pretty good signal at work in downtown Oakland (far from a window). This past summer we drove to Wyoming through Oregon and Idaho, taking back roads most of the way, and were very surprised at how often we had a signal. I was even able to get on the web waaay out in the boonies of eastern Oregon. Amazing!

Service has gone downhill. I wander through my house, phone in hand, searching for a signal. Once upon a time I could call from my car in the underground garage. Then I had to move to just outside the garage. Next it was onto the street in front of the garage. Now it's down the street sometimes, so I drive slowly, searching for a signal.

Reception was terrible for a long time, then got better for a few months. However the past few weeks have been terrible again. No service or one bar at most.

Although I hate the higher pricing of Verizon, I have to admit the reception for me has been pretty close to perfect at our home about midway in on Benevides. Still, I pay way too much. My neighbor has T-Mobile and told me she gets no reception in her house--has to go outside or find a sweet spot upstairs. I borrowed her phone to test T-Mobile in our home next door and I got service all throughout our main floor. None downstairs where my desk is though. Thinking about moving to T-Mobile for the much cheaper rates including texting... as long as I can get calls somewhere in the house!

Extremely poor reception, many, many dropped calls.

Terrible reception. I have to leave my house and walk to a more open area to have conversations on the phone. Even then areas of reception are patchy at best. Even though I love the iPhone, I will replace it with another phone just so I can use a more reliable provider once my ATT contract is up. I would expect this kind of coverage in a developing country or rural area--not the bay area!

It's always a surprise when we get a cell call. Most of the time it just doesn't work. If we walk around the house, and often outside, we can pick up reception for a while, before it gets dropped. Would drop the landline if we could; can't.

Cell phone is very spotty in the house. Usually I can only get reception near the windows or on the second floor, and even then it is still poor as people complain that I am garbled.

Well I was looking up ways to check for coverage because I'm looking to cancel my AT&T phone service. I'm very sad to have to do so; I have an iPhone and love it! But I can't use it at home as my calls drop daily.

Ironic that coverage always drops for me at this intersection... there is a Sprint Store across the street. But never fails, reception here sucks.
