The Casitas tower location is adjacent to a pair of cell-phone dead zones in central Atwater Village. CNET says AT&T customers have "no bars" there. As in, they suffer from "failure to establish a data connection" and live in "areas likely to have hand off errors between phones and cell towers."
See, it's not just in your imagination. But if waiting for AT&T to improve things won't cut it, the CNET data shows Sprint leads the way in average signal strength in Atwater Village:
- Sprint: 85% average signal strength
- T Mobile: 75%
- AT&T: 65%
- Verizon 61%

So it's not just me!
Maybe they actually listened to my Mark The Spot complaints

I'd like AT&T to fix the hard-line service in the neighborhood before they add more towers for cell service. I'm "stuck" using them for DSL and they're terrible!
Jrzedevl... I don't know if you've got some sort of commitments that require you to stay with AT&T for DSL... but, I just recently switched from AT&T to DSL Extreme. Couldn't be happier. Am an Atwater Village local.
I have T-Mobile for my Blackberry, and EVERY DAY my calls are dropped while driving over the Hyperion Bridge. EVERY day!
