How reliable is Verizon in sending out security updates.

This is on the S7 Edge. Sorry I meant to put that in my response.

Not good at all. Here we are on the April security patch and I'm still on the Feb 1 patch. After just switching from iPhone and the in store rep telling me not to worry I'd get the updates every month I'm a little more than upset to find out it was a lie. We are evaluating other carriers as we speak.

I certainly understand the importance of receiving the latest security updates for your phone, CLAPAR21. Please know that we do our best to release the latest security updates to our customers as soon as possible. The latest version available is R16NW.G965USQU1ARBG and that was released on March 10, 2018.
You can always visit the website below to stay on top of the latest software updates:

Unfortunately, it is now a month later, and there has been more than enough time in order to incorporate the 1 March 2018 security patches.

Exactly. We are now two full security updates behind. Unacceptable.

This is not a CORRECT answer to my question Verizon.  Looking at the page you referred me to only supports the fact that Verizon is unreliable in furnishing updates to Samsung phones on your network.  The page shows that the latest security update furnished is Feb 1st.  March 1st and April 1st are not being made available by Verizon.  This was the point my original question was all about.

Please take a look at Samsung's Android Security Update page (https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb). It shows February 2018, March 2018, and April 2018 updates available for current models including the Galaxy S9 and S9+:

More support showing Verizon is failing it's customers.  Waiting for Verizon's answer to this, which I expect not to see.................

CLAPAR21, It is a good idea to ensure your phone is secure and updated with the patches. 

A patch is a piece of software designed to update a program or its supporting data, to fix or improve it. This includes fixing security vulnerabilities and other bugs, with such patches usually called bugfixes or bug fixes, and improving the usability or performance for issues that have been reported by users of that specific device. I hope this information is helpful.

We would never want you to feel this way, CLAPAR21. Our goal is to make sure all software updates are made available to you. As soon as Samsung sends us the updates, we release them. There is no specific time or date as to when we receive them. We know how crucial getting the security updates are you to you. Does this clarify things for you?
