Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2006Horrible connectivity in SE Florida
Service in the SW area of FL has degraded down to almost unuseable for our family who has the Family plan. Cingular says they are doing work on it but it has been 3 months of calls dropping, heavy static and fade-outs. Very dissapointed in Cingular right now, tired of excuses. Anyone else having similar issues in FL?  Signaturemarx404 Your title says SE and post says SW. Might want to clarify. And if its GSM or TDMA or analog since you mention "Static" which is not quite possible in digital. But GSM in SE Florida has been nearly rock solid. In fact a few months ago, call drops were high but improved considerably now.

Very dissapointed in Cingular right now, tired of excuses. > Anyone else having similar issues in FL? I find my Cingular GSM service in SW FL to be plagued with LOTS of fade outs and garbled calls. My dropped calls are very minimal, provided that I power cycle my phone regularly. Not that I believe that I should have to regularly "power cycle" my phone as a remedy for anything. I wonder how much of this is my moto V551, and how much is Cingular? Regards, Rex Havoc Terrible up in Gainesville also. They are working on it. It was much better with AT&T (even GSM). One would have to deduce that when Cingular is trying to change the towers over they are running into unplanned on "issues".

From Dec 15 '05 to Jan 1 '06, normal service of three bars dropped to two-none at my home between Dallas and Ft Worth. Jan 01 '06, service was and has remained five bars. Maybe it's something affiliated with the upgrade to HSDPA. You can hope for the best for a short period. Sorry for the typo, thats what I get for posting when asleep. Definately meant SE Florida, ie: Orlando to Palm Beach. Reception and service has been crappy and a gamble with each call. marx404 After having terrible connectivity since the first week in November, the problem has finally been fixed........I cancelled Cingular. I switched to Verizon. So far, So good. I tried to stay with Cingular until they work thru their issues, but I gave up. A couple Saturdays ago, my parents who are in their seventies called me 3 times because they needed my help. The phone calls went directly to Voice Mail. My phone did not reflect this until 6:30 AM Sunday morning after I was at work. Everything turned out OK, but that was the last straw! By Monday evening Cingular was out, and Verizon was in. |
