Lehigh Valley PA and Nextel

If anyone is in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania (Easton, Bethlehem,
Allentown) have you noticed any capacity/service issues lately? In places
that my phone always worked flawlessly know its not uncommon to drop calls
and or see the signal waiver all over the place. This is most noticeable
in the Easton area, especially around Palmer, Forks and downtown Easton.

Yep! Been having service issues on 78 from Allentown to Harrisburg lately.

Not sure if it's the network or number of subscribers using it.

Now that you mention it, last Monday I was north on 33 and got dropped
crossing 22 with a good signal.

Then a few miles later I got dropped again.

Then in Wind Gap in the Country Junction parking lot, I got dropped
again.

This is starting to really piss me off because it happens in NJ too
and I also have a hard time handing off or getting a good signal to
start with in NJ and up in Delaware Water Gap.

The service is much worse than 6 months ago but I'm swapping out my
730 today.

If that doesn't fix it I'll probably eat the early term and try
something else. It's just getting too unreliable.

I live in the State College area and I'm having the smae issues. My
service has gone down the tubes. Used to be great, now it's
fluctuating even while standing still. It's as if there is one of
those trucks with the antenna's on it driving around.
