Really poor Verizon coverage up at Sky Meadows and a ton of us have Verizon! We were told by Verizon that it is because Verizon can't control the "Extended Network" carrier, but when we have poor coverage on their network, they want to know. They said our area is on the edge between the two. So, we are supposed to call their support number and open a ticket to let them know when their coverage is bad, so they can see how many people it impacts. So all you Verizon customers in South Cle Elum - get online and start raising hell!

Verizon has it's "Extended Network" in this area, which works here. I get reception here! I'll stick with Verizon until someone in this area can put up a tower closer with better reception.

Boy was I surprised, I left Cingular after they REALLY Screwed up my billing and it took months to get it fixed. I finally paid the fee and left them. Went to Verizon and was surprised to drop calls in many spots along the I90 corridor. I have a travel trailer on bullfrog road and could NOT keep reception while inside the RV, if I stepped outside sometimes it would stay but usually not. The problem was that it would switch between the Verizon network and the "extended network". This spot is but maybe a mile or two from I90 and right next to the town of Roslyn and ony two miles from Cle Elum, very poor signal quality, and dropped calls. I was also told that the broadband card would work for my laptop and, although it did work the speeds were MUCH slower than dial up and unacceptable for someone trying to complete on-line coursework. People I work with have the same problem with Sprint / Nextell but Cingular seems to have a good signal there.
