We have found Verizon to be a reliable provider in Central Virginia but the reception at our house is not very good. We get 2 - 3 bars signal strength. Our phones are Samsung Galaxy S4. Signal changes from 3G to 4G often. Wish Verizon would place a cell site at one of the hospitals.

The nearest Sprint tower is in prospect Va... out past Appomattox..They have been promising 4G since the Hero came out 5 years ago. I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN SPRINT. customer service stinks.

It is not every time the Cell Service Providers fault. It has a lot to do with the style and type of phone you have. Not just based on the phones price. I am actually using Straight Talk on the Verizon network with a 29.99 dollar android phone LG Fuel. Only has 3G capabilities. My service is 3 bars in my house, and 4 to max outside everywhere I go banking and shopping in Lynchburg and working in Roanoke. Do local review reading before buying the style of phone you want. I had an HTC EVO 4G 3D phone on Sprints first tier subsidiary Virgin Mobile. Service bars were never maxed except in Lynchburg, never got 4G coverage except when I was on top of Liberty Mountain up at the school emblem thing they got. In summary; it has to do with your phones built in hardware more then your service provider in most cases. Samsung 3 had a huge issue with this so did the Iphone 4.

Only 1 bar in our facility get 1 star for my review. The AirRave does not boost signal despite several calls I made to their Tier II Tech Support people. I get 1 bar reception off Perrowville Rd and Hooper Rd. (24551) in Forest and also in the entire Wildwood Neighborhood in the New London area has below 2 bar reception for me.

Just got new LG Rumor Reflex phones and Galaxy Tablets thru Sprint. Most of the time have NO BARS, Calls will go thru though most of the time so far, except calling voice mail. ~ 6 mi away at AltaVista we get 4 bars. Very dissatisfied. We had decided to switch since one phone broke. Verizon straight talk had actually improved for about 3-4 weeks before we switched.

Phone shows 1-2 bars of 4g. Outgoing calls almost always fail shortly after being placed and when you can make a call there are frequent pops followed by silence. While the phone indicates 4g coverage data speeds are very slow, usually under 1mbps. Incoming calls go strait to voicemail more than 50% of the time. I had to install a voip phone for reliable calling.

Reception along Greenview Dr, and Timberlake from 460 to Fort Ave is exceptional. 4 and 5 bars the whole way. 460 from Candlers Mountain to the Timberlake exit is the same way

Found T-Mobile LTE on my iPhone just outside of Lynchburg in Forest. Not close enough to my house but 4G is still fast enough.
