personally, dropped verizon at their encouragement the first day numbers became portable in my area.
poor service, no service, dropped calls.
lived in line of sight of 2 verizon towers.
could go out into the yard and SEE them.
sore recommedned buying an external antenna from a mall kiosak. brought it back to the store to make sure it was the one they recommended and was told then if I pluged it in woujld violate my warrenty. what a bunch of bull, since they recommended it to start with.

switched to SPRINT and never looked back.
occasionally have small problems with bilings but they get worked out, lots easier than they dia with verizon or at&t.

-Verizon was #1 in 17 out of 20 markets surveyed (in 2 of those 17 they
were tied with T-Mobile)

-Alltel was #1 in 3 markets (Tampa, Cleveland, and Seattle)

-Sprint was last in 19 out of 20 markets (AT&T was last in
Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and Sprint was 2nd to last).

I really thought that the declining number of AMPS handsets would hurt
Verizon's ratings, but apparently that was not the case. Even with most
users having digital-only phones, Verizon is still far better than AT&T,
Sprint, or T-Mobile.

I wonder how long Sprint can continue in business as an independent
company. They have the worst coverage, a poor selection of handsets, and
their Wi-Max plan has gone nowhere. Some say Verizon should acquire
them, but I don't think that Verizon wants or needs them.
