I've suspected Verizon has slipped in its coverage, but last on the list? Whew. Gonna shop around.

I’ve had Verizon since I’ve had a cellphone, 2005, and it always seems to work better than my friends with AT&T, except for a few mountain towns.

Me too. Until recently... I'd always assumed V was the best service around.

Think it’s been AT&T for more rural comprehensive coverage for awhile now. But I’ve noticed my friends with Verizon always had faster speeds than I did in the cities.

AT&T bought Rural Cellular (I think that's what it was called?) back about 15 years ago. It was a company that basically just ran cell towers in VT and WY, IIRC.

Verizon has decommissioned it’s 3g towers and has not replaced them with 4g ones yet. Their service has suffered as a result.

I'm in Irasburg with verizon and get little to no coverage. I have to hike up to the top of the mountain I live on if I want to make a call lol.

These must either be: A) very recent developments or B) flawed results in some way. I had T-mobile for years pre-pandemic & it worked almost nowhere I went in VT; places where folks with Verizon could usually get signal.

I have T-Mobile and its really good. They have built 5G towers in many places in VT in the last 2 years. Works well in all populated areas and major roads. Like all the others, suffers in rural areas.
