The summer before last, my wife and I dropped Verizon after 15+ years and went to AT&T. Other than the ~mile stretch from Canoe to Piccolo Market, we've had great service.

For me with AT&T, signal strength is still lousy in the Mirror Lake area. I ended up installing a signal booster system because we haven't been able to get high speed cable service where we are. It was an improvement but was about $400 and has limited area coverage. Still have to work off a cell hotspot with data limits so forget about streaming etc.
Recently, we got Charter (Spectrum) to agree to bring cable up to us along existing power lines. We've been negotiating with them for about 9 months and still waiting for their install (permitting issues and scheduling).
Hopefully, in the near future, I'll have a cell booster system to sell.
