I’m wondering what cell service provider has the best coverage in the Fort Collins area. We have Verizon and it’s spotty at best. I often find that I have one or no bars around town. I can’t make or Receive calls. I know Verizon typically has the best coverage but I’m hopeful there’s something better out there. Especially considering how expensive Verizon is. Thank you

How far and how often do you travel out of town, but still in the western USA?

Verizon is likely the best overall coverage in western USA, tho I too dislike it, Especially Verizon-to-Verizon calls get dropped very frequently in areas with narrow coverage. Tonight talking to spouse we dropped 6x in `10 min.

What do you expect for 20x the price we paid for a dependable land line 20 yrs ago?

I had Verizon temporarily, and the reception was horrible. Even though well inside the city, they wouldn't lift a finger to try and help remedy the situation (with a booster, etc). Sprint's been great though, and cheaper too, for a win-win situation.

I’m just talking in and around Fort Collins. It’s great in some areas and crap in others. I agree. The cost is ridiculous. My husband keeps saying “maybe is we pay them more it will work.” Lol

Okay good to know that Sprit is better. I will look into it.
