I am having reception issues at my house. This started about 2 years ago and prior to that I had near flawless service with Verizon Wireless. One day the service in and around my house dramatically decreased. I am not the only person having problems and others have complained about a decrease in reception. Dropped calls, failed text messages, failure to dial, and failure to receive calls is common in my area. I have contacted Tech Support several times and while they are helpful the work order keeps coming back as marginal service area. It got to the point that they agreed to terminate my contract. That will not help me as Verizon has the best service in the area I work and travel. I finally purchased a Wilson DB Pro Cellular repeater with Yagi antenna for my house. I adjusted the antenna based on greatest signal improvement. It improved my signal from a -105 Db to anywhere from a -80 to -90 Db inside my house. Clarity has improved but I still have frequent text failures and failure to dial / receive calls. My signal strength is adequate now so why do I have these problems? Verizon said it is not something they can fix. Has anyone else had these problems? Any fixes? I would love to know why I had a great service and then it turned crappy and Verizon can't help. I am 3 miles from the tower with flat ground and minimal tree coverage.
