This is an informative database which lists the dead spots for certain parts of the US. It seems to be accurate for some providers but not all may have a listing for your immediate area.

This database is about 2 years old. Just like the NYC survey, the information is provided by end users. Therefore, if a carrier has a high number of complaints for a given area it may not necessarily mean they have more problems than the other carriers. It just means that more people are reporting problems. Normally, the carrier with less customers in a given area will have less problem reports giving the impression that they have better coverage which may not be necessarily the case.
