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.

Sprint cant you do better for your customers unbeliveable this is to be reported to the BBB

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 :)

I am going to have to buy a Sprint airave signal booster The signal is horrible here and with Sprint, you are actually roaming which is free but you can only roam for so much or they may terminate your contract.

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

Outside the Buildings I get 2-3 bars but when inside I get 1 bar and roaming. My coworker has Alltel and he gets 2-3 bars inside. Both Carriers are CDMA so I don't get it. He can sit in our office and talk on his phone without any issue but if I try i'd either drop the call or it would be choppy.

I have had Nextel for more than 4 years now and I only have them for the Direct Connect / Walkie Talkie feature because many friends have one. I am thinking of switching to another service provider however, since the reception in the area and surrounding areas (Rock Pillar, Mal Weathers (off of Sauls / Pagan Rd. Garner), many locations around Clayton on back road areas.) is really terrible or non-existant. I am really amazed that everyone who has posted here has service issues, and the fact that it is occurring from all cell phone providers is also shocking. I thought someone else may have had better service from their provider than myself, and was I looking to change providers. I guess no need to change since I might not get any better reception than I am now with another company. Bottom line is Why do we not have better service with all the towers around Clayton? The providers should not have to put up a new tower, just pay to use the tower already built. I guess we shall see what happens, but until then waiting on better cell phone coverage here in Clayton, NC.

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.
