Verizon
Current reception for all cell phones and broadband are very poor and quite unstable. Prior to August 7,2009 for the previous 3-4 yrs the service reception was at 4 to 5 bars - excellent reception. On August 7 the reception dramatically changed and has not been improved since. I have been in contact with Verizon Tech Support almost contiually and as of today 10-13-09 their final answer is that they can not help the current reception. My family and friends who have Alltel phones works great now since August 7 - something obviously changed on that date to enhance Alltel customer service at the expense of currrent Verizon customer for our location - Me. I guess I am the only Verizon Customer - was the only Verizon Customer at our location.

Verizon coverage sucks in this are. I will have full service and STILL cant call or text half the time. I dont understand how you can have 4 bars and still have no service?? My girlfriend has the same phone and the same problems. If you do happen to make a call or receive one it WILL be lost, inside the house or not.

I just purchased two Iphones for my business and signed up for AT&T service. They work well over in TN but after I got home in Coeburn VA I have no service. I thought it would at least roam. I understand AT&T is purchasing the Verizon towers. I'm the media director for the County of Wise Virgina and need good data service and cell service. I also have an altel blackberry that I don't like at all. I would like to use the IPHONES very much as I am use to using MAC's in the TV station at the courthouse. When or will you offer me service here in WISE COUNTY. Jack Still Wise County Government Access Director

t-mobile service recently bought out from suncom. service is generally good in bristol area with the exception of the areas around king college. I have dropped calls numerous times on e cedar street beside king college and on booher rd on the other side of the campus. I complained several times to suncom to no avail and will contacy T-Mobile to see if they will help. my daughter goes to king college says she has 0-1 bar there while her classmates have no problems with their networks. doesn't seem to be a good selling point where lots of potential customers are in school there.

Countinously dropping calls. Inside my home reception is one bar and calls WILL drop everytime. Outside reception is 2 bars and sometimes 3 bars, still the calls are very likely to drop. Driving on I-81 between Meadowview and Emory calls will drop regularly.

Had just sent survey with wrong number checked on reception rating. Should have read '1' for 'poor'

Going by the website, it seems like about everybody sells service to people in Abingdon, but most only cover the interstate. I use to have AT&T and my husband has Verizon through his work in Johnson City, but once you get off the interstate, Alltel by far works the best. Even in some of the very rural places of Washington and Russell Co. Alltel pretty much all that works. Sometimes my husband's line will switch over and roam on alltel, but I also noticed that Verizon is about as expensive as it gets and gives fewer minutes for the price. Alltel is also the only one with a couple stores in Abingdon and easily keeps the best signal around the town where I work at the hospital, and throughout the town in general.

I have had Verizon for nearly 8 years and the coverage has just gotten better. I moved to Chattanooga, flown to St. Louis many times, and even called my mom from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco, and the coverage has never failed. The only place I ever had any problems was out at South Holston lake and they fixed that last year.
