You asked why Verizon can't provide consistent service....
While I do understand where you are coming from, this is the nature of cellular service versus what you are looking for-- a landline experience. I realize not every area has the option of a true "home" solution via cable (or similar) provider, but that is truly the way cellular works with a wide range of variability in download/upload speeds as well as coverage limitations. Since a cellular connection uses radio frequencies/waves, the experience will never be the same as a hardwired solution, and will be subject to limitations from weather, number of people online, interference, building materials of structures etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
I can't say for certain why you used to get better general download speeds, but considering the things that do impact a cellular connection, many of these could have only now started to negatively impact service (population increases, addition of technologies with interfering frequencies in area, etc..)
