I’m in the Lafayette/Youngsville area and have noticed a yuge drop in call quality. I will get several dropped calls throughout the day, and often when people call me, it goes strait to voicemail.

I went visit the family in Ville Platte this past weekend and I couldn’t even make phone calls.. We used to have great LTE signal in that area btw.

Has something changed with their towers or does anyone know the cause of this? I’m trying to be patient but ATT is looking better and better.

It’s been subpar for me for about a year. I rarely have more than 2 bars inside my apartment.

I've noticed that since moving to the unlimited plans we have used almost double the data that we normally use. Even though our usage habits haven't changed.

When I'm at my in laws in VP, a lot of the time I have 1x or 3g. Speeds are like 0.5 down/0.01 up. With AT&T, I was getting like 25/5 on 4g

Vzw used to dominate ATT IMO.. Not anymore though.

Verizon will be moving to 5G soon, which they plan to dominate with. Residential 5g broadband will be available for signup tomorrow in cities like Houston, LA and a few more. 1GB speed with no cables. Can't wait until it hits Raleigh.

I just switched from ATT to Verizon, and I am thinking I may switch back to a ATT. Prairieville fwiw.

I’m in mobile and it will only let me call people with Verizon. Tried to call ATT and Sprint users and it won’t work.

Texts and internet work tho.
