Verizon or Cingular in Groton, CT

Can't comment on Cingular in Groton, but Cingular in other areas of CT(as far east as Storrs, and West as Hartford) is spotty. A friend of mine has it with a Nokia 5165 and there is always bad delays in her calls and she frequently gets dropped calls. A friend of mine lives in Stonington and has Sprint PCS. He is thrilled with the service and has no problem getting signal. From what I understand, Verizon and Sprint share towers so if true I'm sure Verizon would work just as well. I've had great service from Verizon myself. In general, TDMA service in CT don't seemt to work that well(atleast for me). I had tried AT&T could never get on their network even though I was in an area where they said they had coverage. I'd say take a look at Sprint or Verizon.

 

You're quite welcome Chip. Good luck with your move. Make sure you bring winter clothes

 

Chip, . I live in southern Rhode Island next to the border of Ct , I travel daily on route 95 to Quonset Point, Rhode Island and Groton Ct. Verizon has excellant coverage here, Cingular works ok in RI but I don:t know about Ct.

 

The posts here are surprising. Just two years ago, Cingular (formerly SNET/Cell One) blew away all of the competition in terms of reception in most parts of Connecticut (personal experience). Verizon was second, and all others were waaay behind. If everyone else is correct, then Cingular must have destroyed a once awesome SNET network.

Thank you Anonymous. I appreciate all the dialog and recommendations. I think I will probably stick with Verizon.
