Verizon Broadband Access and cellphone service is horrible. Broadband Access runs between -92 and -119db with frequent drops. This development is right in the middle of a three tower triangulation. Yet service is the worst I have ever experienced with Verizon. There are no tall structures to block the signals. When I was here last year, there was no problem. I contacted Verizon, and although the rep was polite and sympathetic, the problem remains unresolved as of this writing (11-14-2007). She was only able to forward a trouble ticket to engineering. They are supposed to call... hope they can get through.

Unable to make or receive calls in my home.

It's like T-Mobile doesn't exist in Toms River. I felt like it was 10 years ago with my old phone wandering around the neighborhood looking for enough reception to make a call. Something is lacking for T-Mobile in this area

Went up to visit family this past week and things must have changed a lot since the previous reviews posted for the area. I never once had less than a full signal or lost a call. Great coverage... ignore the other reviews

If Nextel"s Phones were as good as their service, they would be a terrific company!

used to have only 1 or 2 bars but the last couple of monthes the reception has inproved to at least 4 bars.

I never had more than 1 bar in reception... .and my calls keep dropping like the number of bugs tht hit you while you are driving 90 miles an hour in a locust infested area. Terribly pathetic... .boy am I glad my 2-year contract gets over tomorrow !

I have no reception in my house or anywhere on Coolidge. I also don't get any reception on Bay Ave. (571) until I get to Hooper. No reception on Fischer Blvd. either. I definitely CANNOT hear you now :(

Oh my god. Seriously, Verizon sucks. I took a free phone because the club has been really slow lately, but I would have saved up some money if the guy had told me a more expensive phone would work better. It seemed like all he cared about was getting a sale. And he kept looking at my chest. So rude. Well anywho... the phone is so bad and reception is so bad too. I had full bars one time in my house, which was amazing but then I stuck the phone up my boyfriends bum, and when I took it out, I had 3 new voicemail messages. And the phone NEVER RANG. I hate Verizon. I'm switching to T-Mobile.

I have great outdoor reception in Toms River, where I live, but 0-1 bars along Rt 571 to Rt 70 and beyond. This is with the TDMA (none GSM) service. I get absolutely no reception inside the Prime Time Cafe in TR, but my friend with Verizon does. I'm not sure whether to try Cingular's GSM service, or switch to Verizon.
