4G Service is suddenly horrible

[Frustrated716]

Within the last couple of weeks myself and several people I know have experienced an almost complete lack of usable 4G LTE network coverage. I went from regularly having 3-4 bars while in my office down to 1 overnight and it's not getting better. IOS is up to date. What is going on? Is this purposeful to force us to upgrade to 5G? I'm considering leaving Verizon altogether because others who have different providers are not experiencing this.

We always want you to have the best possible service! I'm sorry to learn about what is going on, and I'm here to help. I can assure you that we aren't taking away any coverage, so I would like to take a closer look into this for you. Tell me, what zip code are you in? You mentioned you're at work when you notice it the most. Is it happening only at work, or in other areas, too? Please share some additional details, thank you!

It's more than just at the office. I am noticing that in areas where I used to have full bars for coverage I'm down to 1 sometimes, none. I live in a higher population area right outside the city and on a main retail strip. Area code - 716. Look up Transit Road in Williamsville. I couldn't use my phone to pick up a curbside order at the local Chili's last week... it's never been like this. The more people I ask the more I hear we're all experiencing this. I hear T-Mobile is way better in our area. Considering a switch and recommending it to everyone who has said the same if things do not improve soon. I pay way too much for service to be down in situations like picking up dinner for my family.
