Why is there terrible service for my area lately!

i am having the same exact problem whether I'm in 19107, 07458 or 19040.  as of today, my phone looses all coverage and I can't even use the internet or gps!  this is ridiculous.  it's been getting worse and worse. I called recently and they told me to reset the setting. that helped for just about five minutes! does Verizon help their customers anymore?
