Home based cell booster
I looked but haven't seen this issue discussed. Looking at adding a cell booster. They seemm to be a little pricey. Ran across a Weboost 4gHome, About 300.00. Only has a flat antenna so not good ...

We are going to be on the coast of Oregon pretty soon this year and cell phone coverage is terrible there, at least for us on Verizon. Would a cell booster be of any benefit there for us?
Thanks,

The answer is maybe. A booster won't do anything if there is no signal to boost. When travelling and requiring a signal I think the best approach is duplicity. Have a VZ and an ATT account for example.
Get the open signal app. It can tell you what towers, carriers and strength are in a particular area.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you don’t have a Weboost.
Many many times I have had none to one bar, poor to no data rate.
Plug in the Weboost and get 5-20 MBS. Two carriers help. Sometime you are throttled due to tower traffic by company eg Verizon will be slow but ATT is fast.
The sat signal and dB apps don’t tell the complete story.
Speed test does.
