AT&T
ATT for months has been saying that they are "Fixing the tower" near the tunnel. It never happens so all cell traffic is diverted to another tower that cannot handle the volume. I am dumping ATT if they do not fix this. I was promised it would be fixed in JULY

Used to be great service, over last couple of years service is so bad I can't reliably make or receive calls from my home. I will be switching carriers when my contract is up.

I’m using Xfinity Mobile which runs on Verizon. Inexpensive service that charges only $12 / GB for data, with voice and text free, but a total joke. One or two bars at most, dropped calls and frequently the inability to dial out. Have to reboot my phone to restore service. Poor coverage on Island Crest (“No Service”). Hard to say how much of this is a Verizon issue and how much Xfinity.

Very slow speeds starting early this morning. checked all available sources and cannot find any reason for this issue. Also, service was down for an hour very early this morning

Awful coverage with Verizon. I had Sprint when I first was exploring the area and it didn't seem bad. With Verizon despite living within a mile of the city center and the freeway I rarely have LTE and there are periods of 10 to 30 minutes where my phone stops sending and receiving text messages.

Always have lost calls - and don’t receive calls. Bad.

Coverage is very congested downtown. Data times out. Calls drop to 3G instead of LTE. WiFi calls not handing off properly to LTE. Don’t count on service near the convention center during anything major. You’ll see 3 / 4 bars of LTE, but if you can dial out, your call is sure to drop. The experience downtown with Verizon is definitely not worth premium charge.

I used AT&T prepaid with no issues for over a year. From West Seattle to Bellevue to First Hill, calls over 4G were clear and no issue with dropping. The LTE was blazing fast on my iPhone 8+. Even had decent coverage on the 11th floor of my office building downtown.

Terrible reception at home, and throughout most of the island. Constant dropped calls. LTE indicator is at 2 bars max, most of the time 1 bar only. LTE coverage frequently disappears. Overall, strongly recommend against Verizon on Mercer Island. Prior to switching to Verizon (didn't bother to check given the national reputation), used AT&T and the service was great.
