Dead zone in the center of Columbia University

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

I was rather amazed when I walked through the center of campus
tonight that all across the quad my service went stone-cold dead. It
was fine before entering the main campus area, and picked up again as
I walked out the gates. It's probably the biggest non-service hole
I've ever seen.

When I checked the archives I found that someone had in fact
mentioned this before, but it was back in '02. Things apparently
haven't changed.

Are there others here who can confirm this?

I heard from administration that they are working on an agreement to put a
new tower up on Laureate Hall on the CU campus.

It doesn't surprise me, I hit dead spots all the time, all over the
country, in major metro areas.

Of course, it's my phone, not Sprint that is the problem, so I'm told.
