Best Wireless Service in Fairfield (Greenwich, Westport: house, neighborhood, university)

What provider offers the best wireless service in the Fairfield area? Verizon? ATT? T-Mobile? I assume not Sprint.

The answer is almost always Verizon.

Depends exactly where......dead spots on Tahmore/RT 58,
Mill plain/ Burr st. Burroughs near RT. 58.....for Verizon. Can't speak for other carriers.

That’s surprising. I go all over Fairfield and never had a problem with Verizon, even in remote Greenfield Hill. Always surprised me. Where did you have trouble? Jay

My Verizon coverage sucks when I'm visiting friends up in Southport.
ATT has some serious issues along RT 1 and 95 through Westport.

The Coverage Map app and website from RootMetrics might be of help: RootMetrics Coverage Map

I never have an issue anywhere in FFLD County with Verizon. I think maybe the one exception is out by the Greenwich Audobon Society...but that's pretty deep woods.

I don't remember.. Definitely cut out while driving around the university area. And a bit by Fairfield woods. But if Verizon is the best out here, I'm happy to keep it. I guess it might depend on which house we settle on as well.

If you enable Wi-Fi calling on your device, it won't really matter what the service is like at home, although I agree that you would want to have a carrier that has good service in your neighborhood and the areas you frequent.
