With verizon wireless for almost twenty years - suddenly over the past 6 or so months - horrific service in my home. Dropped calls abound from the moment I pull into my driveway. Was quite happy with the service in my home till now. My contract is almost up and plan on jumping ship to another company with less costly monthly bill. Heck, even if the service is still the same, at least I will save a few bucks. Has verizon cutback on their towers? And no, I do not want an extender - just another device to take up space.
