I just went through Verizon's process to determine that I am now in a "marginal' reception area. This is a new situation, just this year. For a decade and a half I never had any reception issues in my house. It's not like I am out in the boonies. I am one mile off the I-5 corridor in an urban environment. Verizon's own maps shows that I am in a good coverage area. Verizon gives no reasons for this change. It simply is what it is. Their remedy was to either step up to a smart phone (with all it's extra charges), pay $150 for a network extender or find another provider. The latter is now what I am bound to do. My current bill is near $100/mo and has been higher in the past. I am not bound to buy a service I do not want nor pay for a device to receive their signal in my house. I called one last time to give them a chance to save a long, long time customer and they were not interested. So as soon as I can find a replacement service that I can use throughout my house, Sayonara Verizon. It's been nice knowin' ya!
