Cell Coverage - T-mobile?

csuhockey3 · 09-09-2011, 06:02 PM

Hey Folks.

Long time since I have posted, but some may recall I FINALLY moved to my dream state of NH this winter to be closer to friends and family I grew up with before spending several years in Colorado (I am now in Dover). I have a friend willing to help me stack the boulders that fall off the edge of the patio every spring when the ice goes out. We are going to re-stack them to protect the patio/shoreline, however he was just granted a phone interview for tomorrow morning at 9:00am.

My question:
How is T-Mobile at the lake (specifically Meredith). I know AT&T stinks, I'm switching to Verizon soon, but didn't now about T-mobile.

Any FAST and accurate replied greatly appreciated.

See ya' on the water!

What kind of network are you wanting, like 3G? 4G?

I can't give you "specifically Meredith" info, as we're in Alton, Bristol, Laconia, Concord, and Portsmouth a lot, so coverage has to work in those towns and in between. Period.

I did an apples-to-oranges with T-Mobile and Verizon because I can get a discount on contracts for either provider through work. I found Verizon Wireless to have the better coverage of the two networks for the area I've listed, above as a whole. Argie has 3G and I've got a basic cell phone, but will be getting a smartphone this fall.

Hope that helps.

In Moutonborough (Centre Harbor area) T-Mobile is better than previous years in that I now I've got 2-3 bars over a previous none to 1. Verizon has always been better in this area.

I have both T-Mobile and Verizon. Both work fine around here.

You are correct about ATT.

We were just commenting on how Verizon service has really been terrible lately. Dropped calls while talking with neither party moving from location.
Phone ringing 6 times for caller while it only rings once or twice at the phone.
Not sure whats happening but I'm considering other options even if it costs more.
