Live by central CT college, been with verizon for probably 15 years at least, but recently they suck. Called customer service few times, keep getting told towers in area are not great or being fixed. I get 4G most time, very rare 5G, if not on wifi service sucks.
Who's the best coverage wise? Thanks |

I've been with verizon 30 years. Coverage has always been better than my colleagues at work who had AT&T or T-Mobil. On Verizon, rarely do I connect with 5G though. Keep in mind with all carriers - there may be 5G coverage, but sometimes its throttled bandwidth, especially in rural areas. I sometimes switch my phone to force it to stay on full bandwidth 4G

Verizon was the best for a long time, but took a nosedive a couple years ago. I’ve read it has to do with The transition to 5g but didn’t understand the technical stuff enough to decide if it seemed like a legitimate explanation. Either way, Verizon blows these days in areas it was great even a few years ago.

My work phone is Verizon and my own phone is T-Mobile. My phone almost always has service even when the Verizon phone doesn't. I also disabled 5G on the Verizon phone as it would look like it had service, but nothing would work, and I notice no speed penalty just leaving it only using LTE. I leave it enabled on the phone that uses T-Mobile and when it says it's connected, it works fine.

My work phone is an iPhone on ATT. It gets good service pretty much anywhere in CT and MA. I can't speak for streaming videos, or crap like that. I use it to make and receive phone calls and for the camera to document things for work. I rarely, if ever, text, use apps or any silly stuff. I do use it when connected to my car for navigation.
I don't have a personal cell phone and look forward to vacation when I turn it off and people can leave me alone. |
