Does Boulder have good cell phone coverage?

I'm curious if it's location to the mountains causes any problems.

Looking at the above, the consensus is in...Verizon offers the strongest and consistent signal in Boulder, T-mobile is in between and of the big guys AT&T is the worst. I have AT&T and must admit that the signal strength is not ideal but doable in most places. Whats with the drop calls near the top of the HW 36 hill heading towards Superior?

I would recommend Verizon. I had AT&T and they continually dropped calls.

I've noticed that AT&T is better in Boulder and Louisville. The mountains are always sketchy!

Surprisingly, I have found the service from AT&T to be fairly reliable. There were a couple of spots in Boulder years ago where cell reception was very weak on the AT&T network, but those spotty areas seem to have been resolved. Reception in Boulder Canyon is generally very weak, but once you pop out into Nederland, my service comes right back.

I have T-mobile, and it is great in Boulder, but hardly ever works in the mountains. I have heard that they are in the process of buying a company that has an enormous cell network in the mountain states, so perhaps it will get better.

From what I've seen, Verizon is better between Verizon and AT&T (I got Verizon just a few months ago because of this). T-mobile is also decent.

I have tried both AT&T and Verizon and I have found that Verizon has the better coverage in Boulder and it seems to work better for for me in the mountains as well.
