JULY 4th Weekend Verizon Coverage at Lake Gaston was very limited

Past weekend (July 4th) Lake Gaston (Easton Ferry Crossing/Food Lion area) was a Verizon Black Hole. We got some connection - AT NIGHT. could not make calls and definitely could not get internet coverage during the day.

We have a Verizon MIFI device which we have very successfully used at the lake from our home before - this weekend it was completely useless.

Traveled down lake towards the dam (closer to the tower) with little or no change

I understand that the weekend might have been the cause (many more phones in use) but, I also think that there might have been a change or loss of equipment that Verizon needs to investigate.

We are in Spinnaker Point Area - north side - across 903 from the Food Lion. We used iPhone 5 and 6 and MIFI equipment that are normally VERY good with connection. We have in the past done computer work via the MIFI from the house. The past weekend, we could not connect to the internet.

I hope you had a great 4th of July weekend Diesel_1709. We want to make sure that you have the signal when you are traveling. I am not familiar with that area, what is the zip code? Have you tried it since the 4th of July weekend has passed? What is the make/model of your Wi-Fi?

We were at Lake Gaston again over the weekend. Our Wireless Hotspot pulled in some signal, but the bandwidth is very limited to a year ago...we could easily conduct detailed business on the Web.

Now - we can do web browsing with limited bandwidth sites - heavy bandwidth sites (video) are unable to function.

Phone capability is limited...better phone service now over 4th of July weekend (less users, I think). Text worked and email worked. Facebook by phone was not workable.

Strongly recommend Verizon review the area and coverage - something is definitely different from a year ago. I suspect equipment disconnect or equipment interference from newly installed other equipment.

As currently operational - Verizon service is not workable for us at Lake Gaston.....we have stuck with Verizon specifically because of the service at the lake...
