My 5 spot MIFI AC30 can't connect without going through several restarts and very slow through put when I am connected.

I used to use Cingular and ATT. Sadly, they would lose signal in Calexico as soon as one drove by the border. Mexicali towers overwhelmed the signals. I would lose signal on I-8 beyond Holtville until I reached Yuma. I would lose signal on I-8 in the mountains on In-Koh-Pah Rd.till I got to Pine Valley! I would lose signal on the New River dips. I would lose signal west of the clover-leaf on I-8 before I hit Dogwood. Tons of dropped calls. I would lose signal inside the El Centro courthouse! I would have to go outdoors from my own house to make or receive a call! That is ridiculous. I asked several friends and a consensus was that Verizon had the best reception indoors and the best towers. I am so happy I got Verizon, but I plan to go Sprint or Credo as Verizon is a bit expensive and it kills my budget. Verizon seems to have one weak spot. As soon as one turns South by the Austin Rd.bridge on Hwy. 86 southwest of Brawley, I lose all signal and can't call. I doesn't come back till one approaches the sugar plant by Keystone(?). The weird thing is that if I am already on a call it does not get dropped!

At the southwest corner of southwest high school at the south end of Lotus Lane where it dead-ends at I-8, indoors the signal is only 1bar outside 2-3 bars

Good reception throughout El Centro and neighboring towns. Full bars from El Centro to Yuma with only one or two dead spots (compared to Nextel no service). Going up grade from Ocotillio to El Cajon Verizon has no service wearas Nextel, on the other hand, has good reception going up grade. Over all, Verizon gets service in more places then T-Mobile, Sprint, etc. Julian, Ca, for example a town in the mountains, only Cingular and Verizon get reception. In Yuma, AZ, Verizon gets the best reception no matter what Sprint or Cingular customers say. Over all, get Verizon. Very satisfied with reception. Expensive, but good. Remember: "you get what you pay for." So if you want cheap, cheapt, plans then you'll get poor, poor service. Thats why Verizon is #1 in customer satisfaction. Oh, and for the record, no I do not sell phones for Verizon; I've just been with the company for almost four years and I'm about to renew for another two.

Inside the New Mall bad reception, or no bars at all. Have to find the nearest exit door for good reception. Some inside stores signal cuts out. Dropped Call until you get near store windows or doors for a fair signal bars. I even had to stand next Verison wireless store for good signal there. They have a signal booster somewhere.

Dropped calls while inside the building. Had to go out to get a least 2 or 3 bars for fair reception.
