I have never started a thread before but I am so frustrated with my cell service. The one thing that I know about this group is that we all have opinions. I  live in northeastern North Carolina and currently have US Cellular as a provider but my wife and I are constantly dropping calls. I was wondering what others use and how their experience has been with calls and service. I appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

US Cellular is in talks to be purchased by either Verizon or T-Mobile.  Not like that will help your original question.

If you are having issues with lots of dropped calls in your home, you might be able to ask (whomever your provider is) for a localized repeater to keep in the house.  Kinda like wifi for your cell phone.   Also, consider turning on "Make Wifi Calls" on while you're home, so you could utilize wifi instead of a poor cell link

This is a good starting point:

https://coveragemap.com/cell-phone-coverage/north-carolina/

So here's the main idea of an NVMO is that you're a 2nd tier customer.  It's not that bad.  So I'm on Spectrum Mobile which is an NVMO for Verizon.  My coverage is all Verizon.  The difference is that a normal Verizon customer is going to get the preferential data versus me.  (Please correct me if I'm wrong).

NVMO buy up extra data from the big carriers (for super cheap) and repackage it to customers at a discount.  I've had no issue with coverage or speeds.  The only down side is Verizon doesn't penetrate buildings and walls well...  Otherwise I'm pretty happy with what I'm paying and the otherwise rock solid coverage.

I live in Eastern NC about 20 miles east of Greenville.  With my job I am in areas further east of there where cellular coverage can be very tough.  I had US Cellular for years and it was not very good.  Lots of dropped calls and area with poor service.  I also found their billing process and explanations confusing.

 

In the last yesr I switched to Tmobile and it is much better and cheaper.  I even have my home internet with them now as I get a strong 5G signal from them.

 

So, I really recommend Tmobile as it has been great for me and I am guessing we have similar issues.

Ok, I know roughly where you are and we are in similar areas. I'm about 30 miles from  Greenville NW. Very rural where I travel with my job. Thanks for the info.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      Bryce averaged 208 yards per game with a 61% completion since coming back.  How is that top 10?

      Actually,  what lines up with your ideas he is too short or small to be successful.? His passing completions or total yards? Bryce is going into his 13th game with a legitimate offense and good offensive coach. And during that time he went from the worst qb in the league to top 10 by the end of the year based on game production against a number of playoff teams.  And he showed that he can lead comebacks and score under pressure at the end of the game and overtime. He stayed cool under pressure and was one of the best against the blitz by year end. That is the holy grail in quarterback traits and Bryce went from crumbling under pressure to stepping up and delivering strikes down the field. Maybe it is me but those kind of qualities far out weigh a few inches or a few pounds here and there.  Everyone holds their breath when he get whacked by a 350lb linemen and exhales when he magically arises seemingly unfazed. And yeah when he is backpedalling and tosses one out there as if it is random only to float into Thielen's hand it seems just luck. Kind of like Russell Wilson years ago. But I think you are letting your past rob you of enjoying what I hope is happening which is the development of our franchise guy. And for the record I am all about bringing in competition  at all positions including quarterback.
