My father has been having issues connecting to the 3g network with a verizon usb dongle for about a month now. He was sent another dongle (4g/3g) and is still having the same issue. I went to his house yesterday and I had the same problem with my droid incredible. No 3g even though I used to have solid 3g coverage there. I updated the prl on my phone while I was there and still only 1x. There is a tower about 4 miles from his house. He lives in Northeast NC zip 27820. Are there any issues in this area?
