No, not seeing it on my 7+. Appears to be about the same at home or possibly a little better (1-2 bars usually, 3 in a couple of places). Never had good reception here. Had to have microcell until they started allowing WiFi calling.
Did you have an att phone before, I have been to other people houses in my city and the signal
has been bad, in my house I get 4 or 5 bars. You might want to turn on wifi calling also.
I wasn't registering on the LTE about an hour after activation.
Tried Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
LTE displayed like it should after a reset.

I have only 3 bars on my T-mobile iP7+. I'm getting -102 reception at home which is technically not optimal, but I'm not sweating it. Haven't had any call quality issues or dropped calls yet, and my data speed tests are as fast as when I have all my bars full.
Hmmm.
I don't know if anyone remembers when Apple put out an update on one of the models(4 or 4s I believe) that actually made the phones display more bars even though the signal strength remained the same.
Say my signal was -100db and I got 3 bars before update.
Now my signal is -100db with 4 bars after update.
I remember something was said by Apple along the lines that the bars were now 'more representative' of the signal you are receiving.

I've also yet to see more than 2-3 bars. This is new, but I can't confirm the reception is actually worse than before, as I've not used the phone for phone calls yet. The internet speed doesn't seem slow though, so perhaps it's just a misrepresentation?
My wife and I both have an iPhone 7 with AT&T. While on calls, she's been noticing reception going in and out frequently, in areas where she previously had no issues with her iPhone 6. It's really frustrating.
I can't confirm or deny the same problems on my phone I think mainly because I don't talk on the phone as much as she does (and if I do, it's usually to her, so...).
Some others on Verizon were reporting similar-ish issues and turning off voice over LTE seemed to help people. I just had her try that as a band aid. So we'll see. My next step would be to reset network settings, followed by a setup-as-new.
