Maybe I just live and work under a cell tower or something but I
have never had any trouble with Sprint PCS here in Gainesville.
I've been surprised I almost always had at least a couple bars. But
I am boring and never go anywhere so I can't say I've really paid
attention at many locations. I'd say overall my cell reception has
been at least as good as, and probably better than, either Detroit
or Jacksonville. In both of those cities there were places where
I'd just expect lousy reception and I don't know of any of those
here.
I even get decent reception in the lab at work, indoors surrounded
by dozens of computers and video servers. I'll have to look to see
where the towers are.
Sprint may have good coverage in Gainesville, but they are a pain in
the ass to deal with. I was a Nextel customer when Sprint acquired
them - talk about changes in latitudes and changes in attitudes...
Nextel had severe capacity issues in the area where I live. It got so
bad that I could barely use the service; their response was to give
me more free minutes which were mostly useless. They finally sited a
new tower to the west of me and the problems mostly cleared up. But I
moved to Cingular anyway. I still have issues in MANY parts of town
with reception, especially in big building like Lowes, Best Buy and
grocery stores.
