Last I checked $175 is quite a bit more than free...which was what I was initially told it would be and then it only would have fixed my signal issues in the house...

It is more than free, but I guess it depends on how important it is to have signal in your house. Me? I use my landline and don't necessarily need to have signal in my home, although I do have it. If you are solely using a cellular line for service in your home, you may need to spend additional money to achieve adequate coverage. If you are unwilling, you may need to install a landline.

Verizon is failing

That depends on your definition of failing. More customers than ever before. Best coverage of any of the national providers. It could be your understanding of cellular technology. This is not a technology that is designed to give coverage EVERYWHERE. It is a limited technology. The technology may not be what you expected, but that does not mean a provider is failing whether it is Verizon, AT&T, Sprint OR T-Mobile. There is only so much they can do. Government regulations prevent them from erecting towers wherever they would like. The approval process to erect new towers can take years to gain approval. Price wars prevent some from building out their network to equal coverage of competing providers. There are trade-offs in EVERYTHING. You simply have to choose the trade-offs you can live with. For some, they have traded off guaranteed phone coverage in their home(i.e. a land line) with a cellular line ONLY with possible less coverage than they would like. Possibly another provider can give you better coverage in your home. If you go this route, you made be trading off adequate coverage in other areas, though. Just another trade-off.
Good luck with whichever route you take.
