4G LTE week signal in Peoria AZ - 85381 - been having this issue for about 4 years (4 different phones), contract coming to an end, do I need to look elsewhere?  Only get 1 bar with speedest showing less than 2 Mbps down and upload speeds, work from home so very frustrating to hear the speeds I should be getting and nothing done to resolve the problem.

Isandks1,


Thanks for reaching out to the community. We appreciate you stopping by. We know it's important for our customers to be able to use service where they need it, so we want to do everything we can to help you. I took a look, and I see Peoria is part of the greater Phoenix metro area. Coverage in this area is pretty well blanketed, so you will run into very few spots without any service. However, it's not unusual to find some pockets where service may be challenged due to obstruction to a nearby site, home construction materials, etc. To improve upon indoor service in a location like this, we normally recommend using a network extender ( http://vz.to/1SJw302 ), or WiFi calling if available on your phone model ( http://vz.to/1VFQejZ ). WiFi calling is free, so I would go that route if possible. What model phones do you use?

Isandks1, we truly would not want to see you go. You mentioned that service has not been the best and we want to check into this for you.Let's work together to find out what's going on. Does this happen indoors/outdoors? Does this speed happen everywhere you travel to?

Ask around.  I suggest asking people around you who have signal when you don't.  You pay for service and should get it.

I have this issue both inside my home and outside.  Sorry about the delayed response, the last time I tried to get assistance this way, I was ignored.

I meant to add the the speeds are better on both mine and my wifes phones at other locations, especially when we see more bars.

Isandks1-

You got our undivided attention and will not be ignored, rest assured. Data speeds are certainly important for the best data connection. Other than your data concern, how are your calls and messaging working? What make/model phone you have?

My wife and I have the LG G3 phones.  Please let me know if there is a phone number that I can better explain our issue.  The main issue is very weak or no 4G service both outside and inside our home.

We can definitely help you here. It's our goal to make sure we get your service working like it should be. Do you know if other Verizon customers have this problem where you're experiencing it? Does it happen everywhere? Please provide details.

As vzw_customer_support​ suggested, it is best to take the WiFi Calling route.

Think about this... VZW has (and been proved for years) that they have the BEST 4G LTE Network in America. If they don't have service, then the likeliness of having service with someone else, while possible, is slim.

@EricW_VZW made a great suggestion with the Network Extender. Lots of times, if you file a Network Ticket with Technical Support, you may be able to get a discount or even a free one. In Metro areas, you have multiple factors that can affect your signal and speeds. Tall buildings, metal, sheet metal, aluminum, trees, cars, bricks, people, other devices, microwaves, hospitals....the list goes on.
