3 Out of 5 (3 stars) | Harrison | Monte Vista, Oakland, CA 94611 |

I drop about 6 calls a week in my apartment, 3rd floor. In general around the n. oakland / lake merrit / rockridge / berkeley area I would say my service is above average in my home below average so I give them an average rating.

I just moved to North Berkeley from SF. Everybody loves to bash AT&T in the city, but I always had great reception on my current and former iPhone there. However, since moving to Berkeley Hills last week I've been disappointed to learn how awful the coverage is here. In my apartment on Regal Rd.my phone alternates between no reception to poor reception. If I stand near one corner of the house I can make calls, but the audio quality is often poor. Also, when I drive down Marin Ave. my calls drop with consistency in a few places until I'm nearly to the highway. I run a small startup company which I was planning on relocating to North Berkeley from SOMA, but the lack of cell phone reception here has made me decide to keep my office in the city. My point of bringing this up is to show how the lack of cell phone coverage can affect the tax base, and probably property values as well. Surely I'm not the first business owner to decide against starting or relocating a business here because of the awful cell phone reception.

I've had AT&T "service" for about four years. Service in my home has been consistently terrible. Earlier this year, AT&T gave me one of their "mini towers," which has helped a bit. Often the mini drops out - just like the big towers. My wife and I will be switching to Verizon by year's end. All of our friends who have V find the service quite reliable.

Voice seems ok, but data has dropped off considerably in the past month or so. I used to get 4g service here just fine, but now Verizon has dropped down to 1g all over campus.

AT&T has really bad coverage here in Lafayette, too many calls drop. Also it will do the same in San Ramon. The best so far has been VERIZON. I will try next T-MOBILE, only because Verizon does not carry the Samsung Galaxy S II

Absolutely horrible. when you get a call at least 30 percent are dropped. mystery voicemails when there wasn't a ring. All around North berkeley is generally bad the biggest problem being the dead zones which are from block to block. The all digital network needs a straight shot to a tower to work so it's not really something to brag about when there is not enough towers.

Voice service is pretty good. sometimes a little trouble connecting, but once connected no dropped calls. Data has dead spots along Telegraph, and 3G often feels a bit slower that it was with AT&T. But no more dropped calls = glad to be rid of AT&T

Many dropped calls and hardly ever any 3G coverage. It's even worse indoors.
