I left AT&T after years of dropped calls and poor (or no) reception. I live on the edge of Tujunga, CA and travel the 210 Frwy daily. I have two LG VX6100 phones with later firmware. Of interest: I get better west bound 210 (La Tuna thru the 118 Freeway) reception / signal than I did with AT&T. Much fewer dropped calls, etc. East Bound, from the Angeles Crest exit into Pasadena is 'often' good but seems to be very intermittent. The 'Foothill' exit (or Berkshire E / B) is spotty. Pasadena at Lake and Hill seem fine either way but once east of Pasadena on the 210 the reception is absolutely poor on both phones. There is a background noise that seems persistent and obtrusive. Feedback is bad. I have this poor reception all the way to Sunflower (or from Sunflower). I've called the 'team' at Verizon but they could give a hoot. None of the Cellular phone companies really want to excel. They ONLY want our money. They, with due understanding, must fight those who don't want towers 'in their back yards' and government rules, etc, and the increase in DATA flow, but their advertisements are more than misleading, they are lies!

Reception was much better a year ago. Some days I don't get a signal. Reception goes in and out driving down Commerce.

Just horrible. Contacted Verizon about 20 to 25 times but just refuses to put a cell tower around this area. I switched to Nextel but my whole family, and relatives that live nearby is on verizon. Nextel is too much and I am getting screwed either way. I have no choice in other words I rather have reception. If you are within this area complain to Verizon because the only way is that they told me that people have to complain in order for something to be done about this issue. If no one complain which is what is happening right now no extra towers get put up around our area.
