I get one bar if standing outside my home (zero bars inside) on County Road, and that is extended network on US Cellular, not Verizon. The mountains present a significant obstacle, OK, but that is what VT is like and we can't remove the mountains. What we need are more towers, and many small sites on telephone or electric poles seems to be the answer for this environment. The Vermont Telecom Authority is supposed to fix this "unserved or underserved" problem by the end of 2010 and has since 2007 to do it. They are already complaining that they were underfunded and probably will not reach their goal. The capitalist moded is insufficient in rural areas where population density is low.

Btw Corinth and Montpelier coverage is fine from Montpelier until the top of the ridge east of Orange. Btw Corinth and White River coverage is fine from Bradford exit most of the way south. I hardly ever turn my phone on now unless I am actually traveling... i.e., weeks go by without using it. No sense in upgrading to new phones / devices.

If I drive a mile or so to the top of a very high hill, I can often get a signal, but it is not reliable.

Please note, there is NO reception from Noah Wood Rd.to the Post Office in South Woodstock, possibly even further. I can't comment on any other carriers.

No reception anywhere in Barnard except for the top of Tower road. Can one of the major carriers (Unicel) install a booster on one of their towers to solve this problem? In addition, there is no cable, DSL or any high speedinternet service other than SAT, which is barely faster than dial-up and costs 10 times as much forservice. If a cellular / mobile signal was available, we would also be able to access high speed internet.

Funny thing: the phone shows 4-5 bars but has no receptions and will not make calls. Also, off Waybury Rd. / Colchester Pt. Rd.- no reception.

Just back from vacation in Vermont (Montpelier / Barre) and I had absolutely NO reception! I had to rely on my mom's cell phone. She has Net 10 and had 5 bars everywhere we traveled. I only regained service when we traveled to the next state and stayed overnight in Nashua, New Hampshire.
