Is it just me or has Verizon cell service been messed up the last 2 weeks?

Verizon service has been deteriorating the past few months. Internet barely usable if at all in many areas.

Is ATT better? How about ATT prepaid?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I had ATT not that long ago and it was significantly better than the last few weeks with Verizon prepaid.

why do you keep differentiating between reg. and prepaid, what in the world makes you think they are using different towers for prepaid?!

Prepaid service is often deprioritized in the event of congestion (which is not necessarily the issue here).

If that is correct, it seems like ATT is better than Verizon, at least in certain areas. So...
ATT - terrible internet, terrible phone calls
Verizon -  slightly better terrible internet, good phone calls
Is the based on personal experience with both or...?

Yeh both, in the past year. ATT was through an MVNO, but was affecting everyone (https://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2018/10/having-issues-with-att-in-lakewood.html) After months of dropped calls, calls that went straight to VM, and other issues, I made the switch about 6 months ago.

Verizon has been much better call-wise, and started off with much better internet. Now though, practically unusable internet service in many areas, and degrading phone call service but still 100x better than what i had with ATT.

He does not have a store, but IIRC he has a wider selection for shavuos.
