Why does Verizon’s cell service suck a lot?

[alonso]

It used to be the best service so far, but now, for 6 months it sucks a lot. Do you have any suggestions for Verizon cell service getting worse?

My first guess... is because they still have Mexicans trying to sell it to you when you're just trying to walk by to get to the tire store.

This is the world I'm living in... yeah, it's shit. Feel free to walk some of that dog shit you got on your cowboy boots off on my carpet.

Anyways, I feel sorry for you if you even have to consider version. It's like going out with the guys to do hookers and you have to fuck nothing but fat chicks. Sorry bro... not my problem.

Superb for the win again

The 5G rollout, which included decommissioning of 2G and 3G, changed the whole landscape. What was true prior to 5G is not necessary to after.

Having said that, cellular coverage and performance is generally a local issue rather than a system-wide issue. Some areas will have great coverage on one carrier and lousy on another. When there are major network changes, you have to completely reevaluate things in your local area because everything changes. You may need to switch carriers.

That sounds Australian. Are you Australian? I thought 5g and the g networks were only aussie things. I'm Australian lol 😆 I use Telstra. I previously was with Optus, virgin, etc

[itsclearlynicholas]

Aussies call a mobile a cell or a cellular and mobile phone is a cell phone lol

[MrOracle]

No, I'm American, and 3G, 4G, and 5G are all GENERATIONS (3rd, 4th, and 5th) of cellular technology. The 5G rollout was a world-wide event, though it didn't happen at exactly the same time around the world - the transition was spread out over 2-3 years depending on the country. And this was mostly just 1st-world countries - there are still many countries that are stuck on 3G.

Starts to sound like racing cars universally based on stock cars. 🚗 Lol 🤳🏻📱. Anyways. I have a unique one called a 4GX. I love the Chinese brand I have worshipped for only a few years now, by chance I discovered it, vivo. It's now hard to find, vivo. Luckily my phone provider offered it themselves by the book at the shop vivo. Hooray, Telstra 😈😈😈 think of it like your AT&T or most known phone provider lol 😆

[itsclearlynicholas]

Vivo does have a 5G and I knew that two years ago even, I just opted for the 4GX as something groovy. That said, I hope to either choose a vivo 5g with Telstra this year or next, or I may have to go back to my old days of Nokia and Optus, or Nokia and Telstra 😂😆

[itsclearlynicholas]

The American brands for phone providers for the service I know are T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, and I can't think yet I'm sure there was another. Oh well. Those 3 are better than 0 lol for me a foreign Australian 😂😆 to know 🧠🧠🧠

[MrOracle]

@itsclearlynicholas Those 3 are all that's left - except for one carrier that's only regional and all of the "virtual" carriers that lease bandwidth from the Big 3. The other one you were thinking of is Sprint, but Sprint was bought by T-Mobile USA and shut down and their frequencies refarmed to T-Mobile. Now our Big 3 are all pretty close to equal in coverage, speed, and technology - with a few local differences here and there.

Mmm and what does Mr Glenn use? ♂️ Aka yourself sir? Do you like Glenn Q? He sure is an inspiring man in the correct aspects, not his, uhh, less than.

[itsclearlynicholas]

He works, he's no freeloader, and if only he'd get off Brian"s back and be a Leftie himself. Lol. 😈 Anyways if I was American I'd lean either AT&T or Verizon. More so the icon that is AT&T lol BTTF aka back to the future lol 📽️🎥

I’ve had it for a long time and haven’t had many issues.

[Dbtr99]

thanks for mho

[Friendlybro79]

Have you reached out to them to let them know? I had to call once because near my house it went from great to terrible overnight and then someone realized there was an outage. They had it fixed in a few days.

[itsclearlynicholas]

In my country I've gone through different phone providers over the years. I have used Telstra for the last year or two

[itsclearlynicholas]

Anyways, you Americans probably don't know that one. I like it Telstra

[exitseven]

I have had Verizon for almost 2 years and have had no issues.

[strateguy632]

maybe less towers active

Money saving efforts lead to lack of investment.

[Pterodon]

Because they’re not T Mobile

[itsclearlynicholas]

I've heard of that one. In some Covid era NSFW Reddit pages, some woman had a T-Mobile lol android lol

[itsclearlynicholas]

Those working 20s women lol 😆 I think the woman was a nurse with scrubs. Anyways 🧐 faceless lol 📲📱 have a good day sir

[Jay-_-]

I don't know I don't work for Verizon 🧍🏽

[MarkyMark2006]
