Who I have the same questioned this topic

Too many similar posts on this topic from too many different states and zips. VZ quality and coverage is declining significantly in areas that were not a problem a year or two ago. I switched to Verizon about 20 years ago regardless of cost because they easily had the best coverage and most reliable service almost everywhere. This is easily no longer true and ATT is doing better in my area in north suburbs of TX (75033 and 75034). I expect a reply like "we don't want to lose you as customer, let's private message" since I have seen hundreds of similar posts with the same canned response but it would be nice to see a real answer from someone technical and competent rather than another deflection of the problem. My assumption is they are either cutting corners or totally botching the 5G rollout or bought the wrong spectrum, etc.
