With the acquisition of Alltel by Verizon, has anyone noticed a change in the Verizon coverage at the lake?

About 18 months ago I completely lost ATT coverage at my lake house. I switched to Verizon and got a pretty good signal at the lake house but the coverage between the lake and Birmingham was not good. I later found out the ATT signal had returned and switched back and usually have a fair signal.

Now I have set up to switch my local lake phone service to Com-link (I already use them for internet) to save over $50 per month, but I heard a horror story on an attempted installation by Com-link yesterday. Apparently you cannot have 911 service with Com-link in my area.

Based on all this I may go cell only.

Comments on any of the above will be welcome.

Thanks,
