Sparks, MD
Verizon works here, but AT&T does not.

I live in Baltimore City, MD and I work in Sparks, MD. I get no AT&T cell reception within ~25 feet of my home, but Verizon works great. In Sparks, Verizon works fine but AT&T gets between 0 and 2 bars, depending on where you are standing. Even more pathetic is that Sparks is mostly a big technology park, so there are a lot of Android and iPhones here. I've been to several AT&T stores to complain and they just suggest I buy a microcell. In the building across the street from where I work, the employees pooled their money and bought one. People love their iPhones so much that they actually don't care if they have service or not. And AT&T doesn't care that there are hundreds of iPhones with no service in this area.

I had almost the same problem, except I kept winding up in Blue Ball, PA!

While we're at it, we can rename this service to "Vitual America", not "Virtual Earth"! Just think of all the hassle and trouble that will be saved for Americans trying to find out which state China is in!
