I moved to Bolingbrook in '07 and immediately noticed dropped calls and absolutely no reception inside my house. I have an AT&T phone for work and got five bars even inside my house. I complained to Verizon for two years and all they kept telling me was that they were fixing the problem. I had 18 documented complaints of dropped calls and poor cell coverage and FINALLY they invited me to leave with no early termination fees. I have since switched to AT&T.

I rarely drop calls when I am on the ground level of my home or above. Overall I am happy with my Verizon service in Bolingbrook but there is certainly room for improvement.

Verizon is aware of this dead zone, and currently has no plans to rectify the situation. You have to get on the interstate (55) and travel a mile or so East or West, or the local highway (53) and travel North for two to three miles before you get good reception

Horrible coverage in this area, especially inside of my house. I may, on rare occasions, get 2 bars if I'm standing right next to a window with it up. If I go downstairs, forget it... no bars at all. I know Isenberg said that cell phones weren't meant to operate efficiently in homes, but this is the first carrier that I've had where coverage is this bad in such a densely populated area. Bolingbrook BADLY needs more cell towers. (One on Boughton and Schmidt wouldn't hurt.)

outside, everything goes ok, inside my house, its hit or miss. it works by windows. Verizon has always had poor performance everywhere, it wasn't for everyone being on verizon, I wouldn't be. Cingular was awesome. never had any problems, anywhere. from downtown naperville to bolingbrook, to schaumburg. Cingular is the best network, but since hardly anyone I know has it, their free mobile to mobile means nothing, and since they don't offer unlimited text messages, or pics or anything unlimited, I switched. sad I did because of reception but glad I did cuz at least when I have it I can use it a million times cheaper.
