Again, I'd have to suggest trying to find a friend who has VZW service
and try their phone at your home. If theirs gets poor service, too,
and you want to stay with VZW, then you'll have to start harping on
VZW to do something about the service in that area. The solution may
range from the expense and difficulty of installing a new cell site to
the relative simplicity of reaiming an antenna on an existing site.
If you want a quicker, easier solution, you'll probably have to change
providers, or go with an external antenna or perhaps even a repeater
system for your home.

But, if theirs gets significantly better service, then it's likely
your phone, and a simple phone upgrade will probably suffice. Just be
mindful of the cancellation grace periods when you re-sign, and if
your new phone doesn't give the service quality you need, then you can
cancel without penalty and go with someone else.

Good luck!
