Cell signal going downhill over last couple of months. Dropped calls, no service in areas where already had decent service. Signal strength fluctuating between -108 and -118dbm. Pretty unusable.

My zip code is 30513  For years I had excellent service, but it has gone from bad to worse, people are unable to understand my conversation most of the time.  Was told 3 months ago that you were working on the tower that serves my area, but no improvement.  Service is no longer acceptable,  if there is no improvement very soon will have to change carriers, as this is my only phone.  (I'm in my 70's and live alone)

VERIZON CUSTOMER SUPPORT NOTHING BUT LIARS!!!

You will get nothing but LIES and the run around from VERIZON. Verizon is full of C,rap, Signal bars are an exact representation of the SIGNAL and service available for a device. I also have ALWAYS had full bars at my home with full 4G service. As of 3 months ago I barely get 1 bar. Verizon wants everyone to think its their device or their home has magically transformed and now we all need "SIGNAL BOOSTERS". Verizon customer service is now just as useless as Verizon's weak signal!!!

No Robert I tried that already with ZERO results and Verizion saying that NOTHING HAS CHANGED in their service. Yet what do we see in the forums, all across America customers having the same issue..... Hmmmmmm must be mass psychosis right!? I and my wife are on line as I type (We have 2 laptops) picking out our new T mobile phones and will pick them up tomorrow. ALL of you customer service experts need to be truthful with whatever has happened with the signal loss across the nation.  But instead its all smoke and mirrors and LIES!!

JUST FYI I have been loyal to Verizon for over 20 years, but that ends tomorrow. I can get brand new phones and the same unlimited service from T mobile for half the price we pay your company now. I have been reading through the months and months of customers complaining about the signal issues and not one of them has ever gotten a fix or answer. So tell me again about how LOYAL Verizon is to us the customers?????

Yes new normal for unreliable Verizon who charge more tax and fees but failed to provide.

Predator7, we want to be sure you get the service you need. What issues are you running into with the service (dropped calls, no data)? How long ago did you start having issues like this?

Ive been having the same problem speeds on my home internet and phone internet, both devices are fast between 2 am - 8 am reaching 50 mgps downlod speed and around 6 mgps upload speed but then drop to 1 mgps download speed and 3 megabites per second upload speed for the rest of the day which is super slow to even surf the web. The drop started happening slowly getting less and less signal during the day until it got to that speed, ive upgrade to a window antenna and speeds don’t seem to change. customer support super friendly but can’t solve the problem, speeds are fast again in a 5 mile radius, area 78574
