Within the last 6 months or so, cell coverage in our office building has plummeted. There are about 8 of us with Verizon that, when taking calls, only hear every 5th word or so. Anyone else in our building with any other service has zero issues.
Even with full bars of 5G or LTE, the choppy calls issue persists. Any troubleshooting steps we can take? Its odd that it is every Verizon carrier in the building when none of the other cell carriers have any issues.
QuantumEnergy, let's make sure everything is OK with your device and then we'll start looking at the area.

Also, is this only happening inside or outside as well? Any recent changes to the area?

Thanks for the reply Jesse. It affects 8 of us with a mix of iPhone/Android devices. It only happens inside the building, and it started up shortly after 5G started rolling out.
Thanks for those details. Is inside your work building the only place where you're running into an issue with service? Could there potentially have been any changes at work such as construction or IT changes/equipment?

I am the manager of IT and we haven't made any networking changes (configuration or equipment). We tried using a Wilson Cell Amplifier which did not help at all. Additionally, there has been no new construction.
Our owner spoke with a Verizon technician, who mentioned that because we are directly between two towers, that could be causing some interference.
This information helps greatly. As a technician has already investigated the next step would be seeing what the building own has available for network extenders through us or a different third party. Both would require a local network to back off of.

Is there someone I can speak to further about these options?
We are definitely here to assist. We sent a Private Message.

How do we get the ball rolling on these next steps? We've already tried a third-party booster to no avail.
