The west end of the beach has the worst signal of anywhere Verizon has that I know of. I can see 4G service coming from S. Walton county and can pick up once and a wile but most of the time I bounce from 2G and 3G if I have service at all. If I work my way to the center of the beach the 3G is much better but will Drop from time to time. As I type this I see my service has dropped again! Have to wait for it to come back before submitting this post... ... I do love that when I get 4G signal it says I'm connected at 100 Mbps instead of the 3.1 Mbps on 3G. Hope to see 4G soon this is driving me crazy

3 low 5 high but never a 3G signal. I only ever see 1X or 1 D. Overall signal strength is good, but the only place I have ever seen a 1XEV signal was over near Tyndall Air Force Base. As soon as I get within 3 miles of I-10 1XEV pops in and stays with me to 3 miles north. I wont get it again until I hit a Major city. 3 / 4 G is a total croc of crap.

I've been with Verizon since the AirTouch days... 1995. It has always been great and seemed better than what others had until now. I'm in Atlanta and have never had a problem but now that I'm spending part of my time in FL (West PCB and 30A) I've had it with Verizon. The first incident was poor reception and inability to hold a call in our condo unit. Multiple conference calls where I was dropped and even sitting near the front bedroom window didn't help. I attempted to get it fixed and all tech support could offer was *228 over an over again and I finally had a tech at a local store take a look at my then Samsung i760 which I did not want to change. It worked okay for a day but continued to drop calls then upon returning about 3 weeks later the phone was worse and began locking up when a call was received not allowing me to pick up a call and forcing me to hard reset the phone every time I got a call (I was told they just merged or transitioned to Alltell towers…thanks for breaking my phone). No help from Verizon tech support and I was told to talk with Samsung along with updating the operating system. My phone was not recognized by my laptop so I was unable to update the software and the store could not update it either. So, I was screwed. No choice but to buy a new phone. I did and got a piece of crap Samsung (Omnia II)... impossible to type an email with the screen keyboard so now back in Atlanta I had to change out to the LG Phathom what a fiasco that was. Anyway, I returned to FL and was cussed out by a VP because I kept breaking up and I was dropped multiple times on subsequent conference calls. In the meantime visitors have no problems with their AT&T phones including my wife's AT&T phone. Verizon offered their network extender (plug into the internet to boost the signal) but at a charge of $250. They’ve subsequently offered to drop the price with a rebate but I'm not willing to pay to fix their crappy coverage. So, now I have no choice but to switch which pisses me off because I'm concerned about AT&Ts coverage elsewhere. In all my business travels Verizon has been great but now I find the one location where they refuse to address coverage. They said I don't show enough dropped calls (because I’m in Atlanta the majority of the time where the phone works…duh) and they need me to press ### or something every time I'm dropped. Right, before I call back into a conference call I'm going to flag the call as dropped... I don't have time for this crap. Their customer and technical support personnel have been pleasant but nobody cares if you switch so they won't give you the stupid network extender to keep you from leaving. Bad idea if you ask me. So, while I'm not a fan of AT&T because other colleagues have complained often about its coverage I'm left with no choice but to switch. Good luck to all that try to use a Verizon phone along Front Beach road condos and many parts of 30A. The coverage sucks and it’s been that way for years from what I’m finding out. Oh, even on the beach outside the phone goes in out and tries to roam…AT&T no problem.

Love Verizons network. Recently switched over from AT&T. AT&T has a HORRIBLE network here. Dropped calls, slow data, ect. I don't see how that one guy is having good service with AT&T. Love Verizon. My whole family is now switching over from AT&T.
