I get very good signal indoors. It's all about proximity to a cell tower.... Asking someone if they get signal indoors is like asking if there is a 7-11 near your house. For some there is and for others there isn't.
I get real good signal now that I am on LTe. Even in Minneapolis where was horrible at my moms house it's all good now.
I switched from AT&T to Verizon and honestly I am not impressed. I'm seeing O way more than I ever seen E.
I agree! Everyone always raved about Verizon service, and I thought it would be good in NY, but so far it is terrible compared to AT&T. I get 1 bar indoors, at both home and office. And I am paying more for this??
+1 here.
Based on the coverage maps and official press release from verizon from over a year ago, specifically citing my city as having received LTE coverage, I still have poor LTE coverage in my area. I *am* in bumfuct Ohio... but the coverage map and the publication said I would have it... I guess the "gotcha" is that it won't be reliable, consistent, or fast. lol.
Indoors is a joke. My office building is made of lead, tin, and concerete.

I used to get horrible reception in my house, on Verizon. No signal most of the time indoors, 1 bar maybe near some windows, full bars if I step outside. I bought the network extender a couple years ago (actually, I complained to Verizon and they gave it to me free). Ever since, I've had full bars indoors. 3G/LTE doesn't work over the extender, but I've got wifi anyway, so that doesn't matter to me.
That has been my experience. I will stay with ATT. I had VZW forever (until a year ago) and switched to ATT. I have had a good experience with ATT, but thought I would try VZW again based on all of their "claims" about superior LTE, etc. What I got was very poor data coverage with VZW (seeing "o" or 3G (which is painfully slow)) far too much. I canceled VZW and will stick with ATT. VZW is fine (good) for voice coverage, but fair to poor for data and more expensive (at least for me and my family).
rule #1 in using a cell phone: ONLY go with a carrier that has good reception where you live FIRST, work SECOND.
Everything else comes AFTER you have followed rule #1. Otherwise, you just bought a really expensive ipod touch!
same here, thinking of switching back over to ATT their lte blow away what im getting now on verizon, im getting 3g speeds and below where I was getting 25 to 40mb down on att. Im getting slightly better call reception with verizon but honestly I use up maybe 45 min a month on phone calls.
My entire town is saturated with Verizon 3G/4G so I always have 5 bars. I have to strain to remember when I've had less than 5 bars.
Verizon called me just now regarding a ticket I opened.
My home is in between 2 cell towers and they say that this is causing effectively a deadzone indoors since the device is trying to choose between two towers
Recommendation is an extender at a cost of $250.
I'll pass. Sticking with AT&T.
