Continuing LTE problem in 21042 for iPhone8

My family switched to Verizon (and Fios), and purchased four brand new iPhones (two 8s and 2 8Plus). This was a very expensive switch, as you might imagine, but we took the leap.

Unfortunately, none of our iPhones have ever gotten LTE service at our home. It's been months now, and despite the painful process of following all of the troubleshooting steps multiple times, on multiple phones, both via your online troubleshooter and via a series of human techs, we still cannot get LTE at home. I downloaded multiple speed test apps, and the tests time out when LTE is enabled. The phones all start getting data again when we get about a mile from our home. This means that Waze, listen to podcasts, etc don't work at home. Same with MMS - we can of course use iMessage to other iPhone users over wifi, but MMS to family members on non-iPhones doesn't work from our house. The only response we've gotten from Verizon after all of the troubleshooting has been "we don't have any reported issues in your area." I guess since all four of our phones are in the same household, they view our problems as one case. Very disappointed in VZW's attention to this problem.

We are going to switch back to AT&T as soon as possible, I guess.

Every now and then, my phone suddenly gets a batch of SMS/MMS from earlier in the day. Today my extended family had a big long text thread about the World Cup, which I received well after today's game was over.

I too do not get LTE at my home. I can walk 50 yards up the street and it pops up. Because of this I can not receive phone calls and voicemails come in up to 2 hours later. This is a huge problem as my 87 year old mother can not contact me. None of my other phones had this problem. Only happened after I upgraded
