I currently have Sprint as my cell phone carrier, and there are a lot of dead spots east of exit 64. I'm looking for who has the best reception between exit 55 and the end of the expressway. How's the reception with Verizon or AT&T?

I live off of exit 68 and i never really had much of a problem. I think it goes out for a little between exit 64-66 in The Yaphank area...then comes back again around Exit 68...It also may go out a bit near between exits 70-71 in Calverton. I have had atnt and T mobile...

I know..pretty detailed right? but I hope this helps!

You must be kidding. The Hamptons have one of the highest house values in the nation but they dont have teeth? Stop being so ignorant. Must you bash Eastern Suffolk County in every post? I don't get it. What in the world does cell phone service have to do with Dentists, or anything else for that matter. Get over yourself, your added comments are not helpful nor funny, just ignorant..and incorrect. Other than that great post.
