What is Cingular's coverage like in Western Massachusetts, Northern CT and
Vermont?

Exactly where are you talking about?

In general:

Cingular TDMA:
Western MA: Good except the sticks
Northern CT: Good except the sticks
VT: No Cingular coverage - roaming on Unicel & US Cellular

Cingular GSM:
Western MA: Ditto TDMA
Northern CT: Ditto TDMA
VT: No signal - phone will be dead

I may be wrong but I think I read on HoFo that a few of the
"RoadRunner" project sites have lit up, thus creating some coverage in
VT.

Does this mean that with Cingular Nation that US cellular will be providing
the service in Vermont?

US Cellular and/or Unicel (I'm not sure what roaming agreements Cingular has)
will be providing the TDMA/AMPS service in VT.

Cingular has no service in VT.

Cingular is in the process of building out a 1900 MHz GSM network in northern
VT, but its not there yet.

I saw a post where a tower was active in Lebanon, but have not heard anything
other than that. At least it's in progress.
