OT: Verizon Wireless Service

ckangis All Messages By This Member #250500 Hi All, I've been a Verizon Wireless user for 20-25 years in New England and always loved its Great coverage and reliability. For the last 4-6 months things seem to have gone south, even sometimes with WiFi calling. I wanted to see if its was just me/our area, or if other Verizon users have been experiencing a recent degradation in performance... TIA!
Steve Kuehn All Messages By This Member #250502 Edited I have had that issue happen to me several times.? Cell companies are constantly upgrading their networks with new technologies and removing old equipment.? First it was when they discontinued 3G, then it was CDMA (Used by Verizon and Sprint for voice calls), and now the push it to get everyone over to 5G from LTE. 3G and CDMA is pretty much gone now.? I think they are now reallocating frequency bands used for LTE over to 5G. So while some of the older services still work, their frequency bands are are slowly being reduced.
Steve Kuehn All Messages By This Member #250503 Edited I might add that even though I have good WiFi signal and a crappy cell signal and I have my phone set to prefer WiFi calling, it will try to use the crappy cell signal instead of WiFi --? Both for WiFi calling and for Internet browsing.? In those cases, I have to turn on airplane mode and then re-enable WiFi.? I noticed this both with my Android home and with? clients' iPhones.? That use to not be the case but now that is what I have to do.? One step forward and two steps back with newer technologies.? Particular annoying when clients try to do a speed test and think their WiFi speed is bad.

Not sure about 5G, but the cell service is pretty stable.? I have had to reboot my phone to connect ?a few times over the last couple months but I think it is a droid thing . . . (Android Updates – Thank you Sir, may I please have another .? .? ) ?
