Why Am I Getting Such Bad Signal Strength?

We have have been with Verizon for many years and have had a workable signal until the past two weeks. Now we can't answer or make a call without being cut off.  The bars fluctuate between none and 2. We can't keep Verizon if this isn't fixed. Please help.

Which phone model do you have? What is the actual dBm strength of the signal?

The number of bars means absolutely nothing. I have seen my connection to a tower 11 miles away from me and have two bars and have a better dBm signal than another tower less than two miles away and causes regular flips between one and two bars.
