I have been with Verizon for over 15 years and have never had a problem with my service until I came here to due to a health scare with one of my parents. I was reading through the forums and someone mentioned proximity to Green Bank, but the circle for that expands well in to where I live in VA, and I have zero issue there (Charlottesville, Staunton, Harrisonburg), so I don't think that's the issue. It seriously reminds me of a place where we lived in WI, where they deliberately squelched national carriers to try to push people into paying for inferior plans with inferior carriers. My mom's AT&T seems to be okay, so what gives with Verizon?
The posts that you saw are correct, it has to do entirely with Green Bank. Green Bank is more protected by the mountains from Staunton and Harrisonburg so more towers are allowed to be built there. Charlottesville is outside of the NRQZ. Elkins is also much closer than those places to Green Bank. Ultimately, Green Bank has final say on what gets built in the NRQZ. Elkins and much of the mountains will never have great service. And yes, ATT typically does a little better in that area than Verizon. This has nothing to do with any conspiracy
