Poor coverage - Woodhaven Lakes, Sublette, IL 61367

Verizon Wireless service doesn't work on weekends, especially holiday weekends. It's not just a nuisance (lack of streaming entertainment), it's a danger when simple phone calls are often impossible.

Woodhaven has 6000+ lots which means it easily becomes the largest concentration of people in the are on weekends.  Please do something to increase the bandwidth at towers in the area.  I guarantee if you fix this issue thousands of customers on other carriers will switch.

We experience the same issue. Verizon has horrible reception at Woodhaven Lakes in Sublette. It used to be great a few years ago and now it’s terrible. Slow, and just plain unusable.

please improve the coverage in this area.

We have the same problem, even on week-ends when the park isn't busy.  Verizon, please increase the bandwidth so we can stay connected. Patti and Bill

nateo44, 

 

I can definitely understand why you would be frustrated to experience service issues in your area! Do you notice that the service is worse on weekends, and improves during the week? Do you have trouble with data only, or with calls and texts as well?

We have the same issue. Actually switch from Sprint when T-Mobile bought them because T-Mobile loses data at the gate. I am really disappointed. Please Verizon help us all out!!! Woodhaven Lake is actually concerned the largest populated area in Lee County Illinois on holiday weekends!!!!

Oh, no! We can most certainly understand the need to stay connected. We're here to help. For clarity, are other services affected (calls/text messages)? What do you hear/see when you attempt to place a call, send a text & use data? How far do you have to travel before your service improves?

100% agree. Switched to Verizon recently and saw coverage, but in heavy times does not work.

I too am very disappointed with the lack of reception at Woodhaven lakes. I rely on being able to use my phone and mobile jet pack for business purposes. Service is non existent on Holiday weekends and even regular weekends depend g on how many folks are in the community. This is unacceptable from an emery standpoint as well. Please help us get this fixed. We pay for the service and you are not delivering.

This is mainly a data issue for me, but occasionally with calls as well. Texting is often delayed in delivery.
