Waste of money - we have stayed at over 400 parks with Verizon and I can count on one hand the parks where we have not had service
Maybe because you're east of the Rockies. Try coming out west. I've had Verizon for 10+ years and always run into signal problems when anywhere outside a big city. Look at a Verizon cell coverage map and you see that the east half of the country is totally covered vs the west half.
Nope, not just a one coast or another issue, I can take you lots of places "out east" in PA which have zero, zilch, none, nada Verizon signal but yet ATT works fine. The reverse can be said, there are places where ATT doesn't work but yet Verizon does.
In my area, there is one Verizon tower near my home, works sometimes other times no signal, doesn't work at all at my DWs workplace another 5 miles away from our home.
ATT on the other hand has three towers near my home and my DW has no issue getting ATT service at her workplace.
Verizon has one cell tower between our home and nearest city 20 miles away, total dead zone nearly most of the 20 miles.
ATT on the other hand has three cell towers between our home and the nearest city 20 miles away, have service for all but 1 mile of that trip..
Amps and external antennas can only do so much to help and if there is no cell tower located 5-10 miles from there is no external amp or antenna that will fix that. One must have some signal, one/two bars at the external amp and antenna to work reliably.
You have to make a choice on your service, choose one that covers the area you are living in, otherwise live with spotty to no service.
