I have an AT&T microcell box and it works great.

I have wifi-calling on and that works (sort of) but is still lousy. Still drops calls and audio is crappy. We are on a 80meg Comcrap connection for internet so it isn't that. A microcell won't help because it is identical to and with the same problems as wifi calling. Both are just crappy VOIP connections.

ANYWAY my sister from NJ just came down here this week and she has Verizon and gets "full signal" INSIDE our home and all around it. My question is, how is VERIZON coverage overall here in TV? Are there lots of dead zones? I notice AT&T (except in rare areas) is generally lousy around here. We spend most of our time SOUTH of 466 but of course go North on occasion.

Thanks
