I would not reccomend Verizon to even my enemy! I drop at least 5 calls a day and the bars will go from 3 bars to 0 bars with out me even moving. I went into the store and spent over an hour and was given a new phone (which was actually a used phone but they dont tell you that). Still no improvement! I am canceling my service today! As I can not stand to be paying $100 a month for no service and a used phone! Can you hear me now???

Driving south on Whitneyville today I was unable to make any call from 54th street down to 84th...

Most of the time, swaps between roaming and Sprint (no bars). Today it is snowing and there is no reception or service.

Update! (See next comment down) Went to Verizon... they updated my Phone with new firmware. Took nearly an hour... .. no improvement.

Totally ridiculous service! Same phone and service provider that I used in the city (GR) with pretty bad reception.. now... . 1 bar of reception if all the planets align. Living here temporarily (month) and job hunting. Pretty impressive talking to potential employers and losing signal on every call. All for only an average of $85 per month.

Dropped a call three times along this stretch. I had zero to one bar.

Many people complain about t-mobile's coverage, but I find it to be one of the best. I know many Sprint users here, and although they more frequently have signals; most of the time they are in roaming. For example, I've moved from a house to an apartment and into another house (we were building a house) and I always had great coverage except for a few basement areas. My uncle, who uses Sprint, often found himself without a signal in parts where I had or found himself in roaming. So overall, if your looking for quality coverage and no unexpected overage charges, Go t-mobile.
