Better than most- havent had major prblems with Verizon although I have noticed that this area does not get great reception from ANY carrier..I would Verion is the least of the evils. I just wish there were lower cost plans. My Droid's 3G coverage, however is spotty dependent on where I am in the house. Some spots better than others... download speeds much better in mid Raleigh. Sprint's map is awful... which is why I refuse to move to the brand new $19 / month unlimited plan for that new carrier out of Cary. If they used another carrier's network, I would have jumped in a heartbeat. I know Sprint's is AWFUL around here. You can't justify a CHEAP plan when you can not make or receive a critical call. Thats the bottom line.

Verizon is very bad in this area always has been despite claiming they increased the signal coverage recently. Basically our Verizon phones ar euseless at our home. Wish I knew how good ATT was here.

It's interesting that I ran across this site when I was looking for info on the Verizon store here at Exit 312. I used to live over off 42E in Flowers and now over in the Cleveland School area. Coverage has always been good and not really that many dropped calls. I'm curious about those of you that post that you have crappy service.. Do you have one of the el cheapo phones that they give you when you get the service? I used to have those and yep they suck. Once I got a BlackBerry and now a Droid the coverage is no problem. Instead of blaming the Cell coverage why don't you blame your poor choice in phones?

I have had Verizon for 2 years in the Clayton area(Archers lodge) And is horrible coverage here However, if you buy a network extender and hook it up you will never ever have a dropped call again :)

Reception at my home, approximately 1 mile from this intersection, is VERY POOR or often there is no reception.

I have to stand in my driveway to get 2 bars. Not every call will go thru with 2 bars. Ironically, Verzon is building a brand new cell phone store on 70 in Clayton. I'm hoping they're building a tower too. There are enough towers in the area to piggy back.

Verizon service is really lousy at my home in Clayton and at my office in Cary. Strangely it is pretty good anywhere outside NC. Before that I used Alltell, and dropped about the same amount of calls as Verizon. I also tried Cingular I dropped more calls in 2 days then in 2 years with Alltell / Verizon. Verizon offers to many Motorola phones which have to be the worst in the industry for features and just plain being a phone. I currently have a V265 and in a few days will decide on a new phone will get a real pleasure in taking a sledgehammer to the Motorala as I proud say "Good Bye Motto"! Not sure any carrier provides any better service in Clayton and Cary. I am going to do a lot more research before switching carriers again. Get people with different plan to come over and work their phones to see who seems to have the best signal and fewest dropped calls.

just moved from DE to NC..bars fade from 3 to 0 Verizon readily admitted they are not a power in the area (unlike comments of other reviewers) recommended I drop coverage (no fee with proof of address change) and get another carrier. to me that is first class customer service, checking out Nextel and alltell. As soon as Verizon has area tower I will return to them.

Making a cell phone call from my house is such a miserable, frustrating experience! I have to sit in front of a window and lean and it's just HORRIBLE.

Verizon is terrible! My calls are dropped everywhere I go, in and out of Clayton. Can't get a signal anywhere near Wal-Mart. All carriers love to advertise about how much they care about their customers, but I have yet to find one that follows thru after the sale.

I live one mile from the interstate, a few miles from Wake County's main communication towers, and I live at one of the highest points in the area, and I still cannot get coverage in the 40-42 area. In fact, there is a virtual "deadzone" radius of about 2 - 3 miles at any point surrounding the 40-42 intersection. It doesn't matter where you go in this area, you can't get analog or digital on the Verizon netowork. Ridiculous! Worse, I can't even keep a stable call in downtown Raleigh standing still. BTW: I have upgraded all software to this phone and it has not impacted voice quality or reception ability. This has not been my only phone, every phone I've ever bought through Verizon has had the same results in reception. I have been a faithful subscriber to Verizon for well over 5 years, and they still can't get this area sorted out. I am definately switching to Cingular and GSM when they are done with the AT&T buyout.
