Need more bandwidth in my town.

I live in a tourist town that doesn't have enough network capacity in the summer and fall months. The population swells from about 4k to over 20k in the peak season. Often you can't do anything over cellular except text because the network is so bogged down. People go from wifi to wifi. (It's fine in the winter.) Verizon needs to add capacity. Who do I tell about this?

I tried using the chat feature, but that was worthless. The tech just wanted to troubleshoot my phone. I tried calling various numbers to get a real person, but the system kept hanging up on me. I don't have a PIN.

(Btw, I was unable to select "location" above. It only gave me phone model options.)

Is anyone going to look into this? I tried to log on to an online game this morning, but it wouldn't go through. I had to find a wifi spot to do it. I generally don't have a problem early in the morning, but once the tourists wake and start hogging the bandwidth, cellular usability plummets.
