Roanoke Virginia, good connections 3-4 bars so far around town. Pretty good connection on I-81 going north from here, didn't check it the entire length of my trip though.
I also have the problem that it takes up to 5 minutes for the whispernet bars to show up on their own, but if I go straight to Amazon or the browser, I connect instantly. I've only had problems downloading once, I think it may have been a busy time on the local part of the network.

I live in a small town (Waynesboro, VA) and work in Charlottesville, VA. I checked the map for both before I purchased. It takes a while to connect and then its 3 bars, but that little +1 thingy, so not the fastest network.

Troy, MI (suburb of Detroit) has 4 or 5 bars of whispernet, depending on where I'm standing in the house.  |

Arlington, VA: you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a cell tower 'round here. (apologies to the animal lovers among us) I always have a great signal.

I can think of better ways to signal; swinging a dead cat seems a little extreme. I have heard however that swinging a dead cat is a sure cure for warts: "Say -- what is dead cats good for, Huck?" (asks Tom Sawyer) "Good for? Cure warts with." ______________________________________________ I’m deep in the heart of Texas about half way between Waco and the George W. Bush ranch.

Does a signal or dead cat cure warts. Confused. Hope its the signal. Live in Rapid City, SD. No WN service. Really a bummer, but I did my homework before purchasing -- no surprises. However I do feel just a little bit cheated in that I am not able to fully utilize my Kindle (am thinking her name is Abby. . . but maybe not). However, change can happen in South Dakota. . . however slowly! |

I live 20 minutes south of South Bend Indiana in the middle of nowhere and my kindle gets signal, but my husbands cell phone (which is sprint/nextel) does not. Crazy how that is.  |

Hmm - I didn't realize that it would take a few minutes for the bars to show up; I figured that they would show immediately like on my cell phone. Maybe I didn't leave it on long enough in Hanover for them to actually show up if they were going to. Will have to try again!  |

I am located in South East Louisiana and have WN/EVDO which is not optimal but works well most of the time.

5 bars in Germantown MD (about 20 miles north and a touch west of DC); 5 bars in Harrisonburg VA; 5 bars in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. I'll find out about Orlando in two weeks.

Hayward, CA. 5 bars at all times. But that's not surprising.
