my home is located in a rural area of south bamberg, sc. my reception is terrible. there is a tower within 2 miles of my home but it apparently is not verizon. I've had Verizon for more than 5 years. I would change carriers but I find Verizon to be good while traveling and at my out of town work place (I live away from bamberg for work). I also have a pc card but cannot use the internet while at the bamberg location. I really need better. I would do away with my landline if my wireless service was better.

Excellent reception basically everywhere I go. Second to none in this area. Sure there are dead spots here and there, but very satisfied on the whole!

I recently went up to buy property. I went from Bamberg to Blackville to Barnwell to Aiken. With the exception of a brief moment in Aiken, I had ZERO reception the entire time I was there! Nextel blows. I am switching to Alltel when I finally move up there. They seem to have the only reliable service coast to coast!
