Thanks for the update.

When we first moved to Virginia Trace our cell phone service was not good. We were told by Verizon to be patient and it would get better once the new tower was turned on and fine tuned. That got delayed (hurricanes took the crews elsewhere) but we remained patient - we had service, just not the greatest and had to step outside on occasion. Happy to say the service did dramatically improve to the point where I had kind of forgot about it. We now live in Hemingway and use our cell phones without any issues at all. We have had Verizon service for years and traveled around the country and Canada. Have used the phones for internet service (tethered to a laptop as well as using the phone's browser) with success in 90% of the areas we traveled, and those poor areas were a few years ago, the service may have improved.

So much for my Verizon pitch - I don't think I even own stock in Verizon, but my mother does.
