Delaware

New Castle County, Delmarva Peninsula, both DE and MD side: Poor coverage and drops on many of the local roads between the N/S line which divides DE and MD. E.G., while traveling from US-301 on the MD side eastward to DE, there is generally poor cover age until the JCT of US-13 or DE-1, and many of the other E/W roads also suffer from drops transiting from the Atlantic side to the Bay side. Last observed: 01/16/2006.

Maryland

Anne Arundel County, Rose Haven, Eastern Shore: Almost the entire stretch of MD-261 near the Chesapeake Bay from MD-2 is completely devoid of coverage on all carriers, although Cingular does have good service there. Last occurred on 06/16/2006.

Baltimore County, Baltimore, Baltimore (train) Tunnel: North of Baltimore Amtrak/MARC trains go through a tunnel; calls often drop there or at the very least switch from digital to analog. (90% of the time calls drop, 10% there is a sloppy drop to ana log.) Last tested: 05/21/2004.

Cecil County, Conowingo Dam: Voice calls drop and data signals are very tenuous about 1.5 miles south of the Conowingo Dam while approaching the JCT of US-1 and MD-22. The coverage in this area is very poor and stays that way until about 3-4 miles nor th of MD-276 (which becomes DE-276 in Delaware). It is just not a good level of coverage and even though the data is better it also gets very, very weak. Drop occurred on 03/26/2005 and was reported to Verizon on 04/06/2005. There has been no disposition as of yet, last observed 05/19/2012.

Cecil County, Rising Sun: US-1 at Westwood Rd., approx 4 miles north of the Conowingo Dam and approx 3 miles north of JCT US-1/US-222. While traveling north on US-1 after the Conowingo Dam at Havre de Grace/Port Deposit, US-1 heads into a small "valle y", and all calls (analog and digital; even 3-watt analog) drop in the vicinity of Westwood Rd. Note that Nextel and SWBell (Cingular) seem to (poorly) be able to maintain a connection there, while BAMS/Verizon always drops. This is also quite close to I- 95 (only a few miles "inland"), so the fact that such poor coverage exists there on Verizon is surprising. Reported 02/20/1998, last observed 01/16/2006, no resolution as of yet.

Frederick County, Myersville: Drops occur while driving on I-70 at about Mile Marker 43 (approximately a mile and a half west of the overpass over Hollow Rd), while entering the Verizon system that covers Hagerstown. This drop affects both cellular an d data service. Most recent instance occurred on 02/20/2012.

Harford County, Havre de Grace/Perryville (on Amtrak/MARC trains): very poor coverage from approx 6 miles north of Havre de Grace / Port Deposit (is there a Port Return on the other side? :) ) to approx 10 miles south of the river crossing; calls drop , there are areas of no coverage, etc. Note that along I-95, a few miles "inland", there is very good coverage, so this may be a local issue affecting US-40 or roads (and rail lines) closer to the water. This is a glaring hole in Verizon's coverage. Last tested: 04/20/2009.

Harford County, Level: Calls drop when driving on MD-155 at the JCT of MD-161. Most recent instance occurred on 08/27/2008.

Harford County, Level: Drops occur on MD-155 near the JCT of Paradise Rd when traveling in either direction on MD-155. Most recent instance occurred on 08/27/2008.

St. Mary's County, Chaptico: Drops occur at the rotary of MD-234 and MD-238. Most recent instance occurred on 09/23/2010.

Montgomery County, Damestown: On MD-112 between MD-128 and River Rd/MD-190, drops occur at the JCT with Cervantes Rd. Most recent instance occurred on 03/18/2012.

Montgomery County, Potomac: On MD-190/River Road and Marwood Hill Rd is another drop. Most recent instance occurred on 06/12/2011.

Montgomery County, Seneca: Drops occur approximately half a mile east of the JCT of MD-190/River Road and MD-112. Most recent instance occurred on 06/12/2011.

Washington County, Hagerstown: Drops occur while driving east on Alt US-40 and transitioning to the Verizon-owned Washington DC/Baltimore system (SID 00018) from the system in Washington County. Although it remains uncertain if the drops occur when tr avelling west, calls certainly do not hand off when driving east on Alt US-40. Most recent instance occurred on 09/11/2011.

Washington County, Sandy Hook: Handoffs from the US Cellular system to the Verizon Wireless system will not occur even though there is almost perfect coverage. Most recent instance occurred on 06/24/2012.

Massachusetts

Franklin County, Greenfield: Drops occur while driving on I-91 at the northern JCT of MA-2. This given Verizon call was initiated was in Vermont and then transitioned down from Vermont on I-91. This may have something to do with a call being initiated in Vermont and successfully transitioning in to the Massachusetts system and then dropping. No tests have been made to determine if calls drop when driving the other way. Most recent instance occurred on 05/23/2010.

Hampshire County, Amherst: US-202, no through service along US-202, from MA-9 north to just south of MA-2, where coverage picks up again. (Cingular/CO Boston 00007 does a somewhat better job along this route.) Last tested 08/01/2006.

Middlesex County, Wakefield: An (isolated?) drop occurred on RT-128 in the Wakefield area while crossing under the Hopkins St. overpass. Most recent instance occurred on 05/15/2006.

Worcester County, Athol: MA-2, just west of US-202S JCT: Calls won't transition/maintain to the to US Cell 01484 system or whatever agreement Verizon has in place for its customers in Franklin County. Analog calls from the 00028 to the 01484 do seem t o hand off, but drop westbound (from 00028 to 01484) a bit after Athol (admittedly this is an error on US Cell's side), and eastbound (from 01484 to 00028) at the northbound JCT of MA-2 and US-202 (MA-2 and US-202 are multiplexed for a bit). Digital (appa rently 01484 supports CDMA as of late 2005) handoffs fail in approx. the same areas. Last tested: 05/21/2006

New Hampshire

Cheshire County, Fitzwilliam: No coverage exists on NH-12 starting from approximately two miles south of the JCT of NH-119 and heading approximately two miles north of there. This is likely an extended coverage area, the carrier for which is probably US Cellular. While crossing into the state, the phone will still be on Verizon Wireless for a while, after which comes the extended area system at the JCT of NH-119 and NH-12, at which time drops occur. If a call is then placed inside the extended system, drops will occur upon returning to a Verizon market. Calls do not hand off from one coverage area to another, and that’s a problem. Most recently observed on 07/08/2012.

New Jersey

Alpha/I-78: Calls drop on I-78 just 3-4 miles east of the PA-NJ state line. Last tested: 07/26/2004

Camden County, Pennsauken Township: Drops occur while driving on US-130 near the JCT of NJ-32 and US-130, in the vicinity of Mile Marker 70 and Airport Circle. Most recent instance occurred on 02/27/2011.

Gloucester County, West Deptford Township: I-295 between Mile Marker 18-20, connections deteriorate and then drop. Last tested: 01/19/2006

Mercer County, Princeton area on Amtrak/NJ Transit: calls drop both northbound and southbound between the NY/00022 and Philly/South Jersey/00008 markets about 7 miles north of the Princeton Jct. station (e.g., wherever the handoff between the 00008 an d 00022 markets occur). Drops occur on the order of 75% of the time. Last tested: 07/20/2004.

Morris County, Parsippany: Calls drop on I-80 at approximately Exit 33 or Exit 34. The drop occurs where the speed limit is increased from 55mph to 65mph. It is approximately five miles east of the junction of I-80 and I-287 (that is to help me figure this out). Most recent instance occurred on 01/18/2009.

Union County, Clark: Drops occur on the Garden State Parkway the vicinity of Ext 137 for Clark Township/Kensington. Most recent instance occurred on 05/27/2008.

New York

New York County - Manhattan: Drops occur while passing through the East River tubes which are utilized by Amtrak and the LIRR to access Penn Station. Most recent instance occurred on 03/18/2008.

New York County- Manhattan: Drops occur at the mid-platform staircase for track 17. Most recent instance occurred on 04/01/2012.

New York County - Manhattan: There is no coverage in the Park Ave tunnel of Metro North between 72nd St. and the opening of the tunnel near 104th. Most recent instance occurred on 02/18/2009.

Putnam County, East Fishkill: Calls consistently drop on the Taconic State Parkway about 1/10th of a mile south of JCT of NY-82. The problem occurs while descending from the top of the hill just before the first exit "ramp" for NY-82. Cell One/Dobson TDMA has a similar problem there, while their GSM is slightly better but becomes nearly inaudible. The call will not drop, but will sound garbled. Although this drop appeared to have been fixed as of 07/21/2008, it occurred again on 03/06/2011.

Queens County - Queens: Drops occur while driving on the Long Island Expressway starting in the vicinity of the JCT with Queens Blvd to slightly west of the JCT with Grand Central Parkway. Drops tend to occur more often while driving in the eastbound direction rather than the westbound direction. Most recent instance occurred on 03/19/2008.

Queens County - Queens: Drops occur on the Grand Central Parkway slightly east of the JCT of the GCP and the Cross Island Parkway. Most recent instance occurred on 09/10/2008.

Richmond County, Staten Island: On NJ/NY-440, heading east/north, calls initiated in Jersey (or DE or anywhere else and driven through NJ) will fail while approaching or passing through the toll plaza. Digital calls drop 80% of time, and analog gets t oo staticky to use after passing through the toll plaza near the Richmond Parkway / NY-440 JCT. Call drop/fail rates after driving up to and passing the Fresh Kills landfill approaches 95%, e.g., VERY rarely will a call transit through from Jersey to nort h of Fresh Kills on SI. Verizon was notified about this on 06/14/2000, and then again in terms of Express Network drops on 11/2002, and still drops regularly occur. Express Network (1X and EvDO) appear more or less fixed as of late 2005; cellular (digital and analog) still having problems as of late 2006. As of 10/31/2010, digital cellular calls still drop in this vicinity, specifically at the mid-point of the NY/NJ-440 Outerbridge Bridge crossing.

Columbia County, Austerlitz: Drops occur on the Taconic State Parkway, just south of the JCT with NY-203. Coverage is generally weak in the area. Most recent instance occurred on 03/15/2009.

Columbia County, Claverack: Drops occur at the overpass for NY-23 over the Taconic State Parkway between NY-23 and Palmer Rd. Display never says no coverage exists but effectively none does. Most recent instance occurred on 08/08/2010.

Columbia County, Copake: At the JCT of NY-22 and CTY-7A, coverage drops while traveling northbound. There is no coverage for approximately eight miles north beyond the initial drop in Copake. Most recent instance occurred on 07/06/2008.

Columbia County, Copake: Coverage is very poor on NY-23 starting from a quarter of a mile east of the New York/Massachusetts border until approximately half a mile west of the JCT of MA-23 and US-7 in Massachusetts. This occurs when driving in either direction. Most recently observed on 07/19/2012.

Columbia County, Queechy: Traveling northward from the New York Thruway/I-90 on NY-22, coverage begins to attenuate approximately one mile south of the JCT of NY-22 and NY-295/Canaan Rd. At the actual junction, Cingular calls drop completely and no se rvice is available along NY-22 heading northwards until just south of the JCT of NY-22 and US-20 in New Lebanon. Most recent instance occurred on 07/06/2008.

Columbia County, Spencertown: No coverage exists between the Taconic State Parkway all the way to NY-22 and up about four or five miles past Austerlitz. However, coverage resumes in the vicinity of the JCT of NY-203 and NY-22, which is approximately f our miles east of Austerlitz. Most recent instance occurred on 08/08/2010.

Columbia County, Spencertown: Calls drop approximately one mile north of Rigor Hill Rd while driving on NY-203. There is no service at all and calls drop. Most recent instance occurred on 08/08/2010.

Columbia County: The connection drops on the Taconic State Parkway at Mile Marker 70.8. It resumes upon reaching the rest area located at Mile Marker 75.6 in the vicinity of Lake Taghkanic State Park. Most recent instance occurred on 03/15/2009.

Columbia County, Gallatin: Drops occur while driving on NY-82 at Half Circle Rd and the access road to Taghanak State Park, which is approximately two miles north of the JCT of NY-82 and CTY-11. Most recent instance occurred on 08/08/2010.

Dutchess County, Amenia: Coverage attentues and then drops entirely while heading northward on NY-22 starting from the JCT with US-44 (western component) in Amenia and continues for approximately five or six miles north until the JCT of NY-22 and CTY- 62 (eastern component) in Millerton, at which point coverage returns. (However, both AT&T Wireless/Dobson Cellular and Nextel both have perfect coverage in this area.) Most recent instance occurred on 07/06/2008.

Dutchess County, Amenia: Drops occur for no apparent reason while driving on NY-343 approximately half a mile east of the JCT of NY-343 and CTY-2. Most recently observed on 07/19/2012.

Dutchess County, Beekman: Drops occur on NY-55 both a mile west and approximately two miles east of the JCT of NY-55 and the JCT of NY-216. Most recent instance occurred on 05/07/2012.

Dutchess County, East Fishkill: Taconic State Parkway: Calls drop south of the JCT of the Taconic State Parkway and NY-55 at Mile Marker 43/7, just south of the Park and Ride and what used to be a rest area. Last tested: 02/01/2005.

Dutchess County, LaGrange: Drops occur on the Taconic State Parkway approximately a quarter of a mile south of the JCT of NY-82. This drop was duplicated on several different handsets and thus it cannot possibly be an equipment malfunction of some typ e. Most recent instance occurred on 05/01/2011.

Dutchess County, LaGrangeville: Coverage is poor on NY-82 for approximately a mile and a half beginning at the JCT with Tompkins Rd. The attenuated coverage may or may not result in a dropped call. Most recently occurred on 08/26/2012.

Dutchess County, Milan- Significant coverage drops occur on the Taconic Parkway between Wilbur Plains Rd. and continuing north for seven miles toward the rest area. Calls will drop while data is weak but remains connected. Last occurred on 06/07/2012, last reported to Verizon Wireless on 06/07/2012.

Dutchess County, Millbrook: Drops occur while driving on CTY-23 between the JCT of CTY-24 and NY-343. The drop occurs closer to the JCT of CTY-24 and CTY-23 than the JCT of NY-343 and CTY-23. Most recent instance occurred on 05/07/2012.

Dutchess County, Pawling: Calls drop while driving on NY-55 approximately half a mile east of the JCT of NY-55 and NY-292 after reaching the top of a hill on NY-55. Most recent instance occurred on 10/17/2011.

Dutchess County, Washington's Hollow/Millerton: Drops occur while driving east or westbound on US-44/NY-82 at the JCT with NY-44A (which is the western junction of NY-44A and US-44). Most recent instance occurred on 10/04/2007.

Nassau County, Carle Place: On the LIRR main line between Mineola and Carle Place,drops occur on a relatively consistent basis in both directions. Most recent instance occurred on 01/12/2009.

Nassau County, Greenvale: NY-25A between NY-106 and NY-107: Calls consistently drop while traveling either eastbound or westbound on NY-25A between NY-106 and NY-107. Verizon was contacted and reported back that the responsible tower in that area was at the time being worked on and that Verizon is having to "share" a cell tower which adds to the problem (Huh?!). A few weeks later, on 11/04/2004, Verizon then claimed that they did not expect to have resolved until the end of January 2005 at the earlies t. (Fixing a transmitter on a tower takes over two months?!). As of late 2006 (2 years later!) drops still occur and there is generally very poor coverage on Verizon (and to a lesser extent on other carriers) on NY-25A from Greenvale west to Cold S pring Harbor -- certainly not the sort of coverage one would expect in 2007. Last tested: 04/09/2009.

Nassau County, Hicksville: Calls drop while traveling south on NY-106/107 generally while crossing over the LIE / I-495 and Northern State Parkway interchange. Last occurred: 12/09/2006

Nassau County, Jericho/Hicksville area: A downward-pointing (inverted) "triangle" of bad coverage: The "points" of the triangle are: the JCT of NY-25/NY-106/NY-107 to the south, the JCT of NY-25A and NY-107 to the northwest, and the JCT of NY-25A and NY-106 to the northeast. Generally poor cellular coverage there with frequent drops and distortions, and practically no EVDO coverage and very little 1XRTT coverage. Last occurred: 05/17/2006.

Nassau County, Laurel Hollow: Drops occur just east of NY-25A/Northern Blvd and approximately three miles west of Cold Spring Rd. Most recent instance occurred on 06/24/2010.

Nassau County, Long Island/Cold Spring Harbor: There is no coverage at the JCT of NY-25A and NY-108. Most recent instance occurred on 07/31/2012.

Rensselaer County, Berlin: Coverage drops approximately five miles south of Berlin while traveling north on NY-22. There continues to be no coverage on NY-22 from that point, nor does coverage return in Berlin itself. The area of no coverage then cont inues for at least five miles further north along NY-22 until the JCT of NY-2 in the town of Petersburg (there may be no coverage further north of this point, however we did not have an opportunity to test it). Most recent instance occurred on 07/06/2008.

Orange County, Cornwall: Drops occur approximately one mile south of Continental Rd. Last instance occured on 07/17/2011.

Rockland County: Calls drop where I-287 multiplexes with I-87 near Exit 16E about 1/4 mile south of the Garden State Parkway. Last occurred on 09/21/2004, reported to Verizon on 09/23/2004, no resolution yet.

Suffolk County, Northport: Drops occur at the JCT of NY-25A and Woodbine Ave. Most recent instance occurred on 08/29/2012.

Westchester County, Greenburgh: Drops occur on the Sprain Brook Parkway at Mile Marker 6.5. Most recent instance occurred on 07/04/2011.

Westchester County, Purchase: Handoffs (digital B/00022 BAMS NYC Metro to either digital A/00119 BAMS Wallingford or analog B/00088 SNET-Cingular CT markets) along the Merritt will not work. Calls initiated near the JCT of the Hutchinson River Parkway , I-287 and I-684, which is in the general area of Purchase, drop after the Greenwich Mobil station near the old toll plaza. Analog 00022/B to analog 00088/B seem to work. This was brought to BAMS (and then Verizon's) attention in Jan 1999 and they have n ever managed to get it to work. Opened 01/06/1999, unresolved as of yet. This drop was verified again on 03/26/2007.

Westchester County, Rosedale: Calls drop on the Hutchinson River Parkway about one mile south of the JCT with Mamaroneck Ave. while traveling north on the Hutchinson River Parkway at Mile Marker 13.3, which is close to Exit 22. Most recent instance oc curred on 09/30/2011. It was reported to Verizon on 03/31/2005. No resolution as of yet.

Westchester County, Yorktown: Calls drop while driving either north or south on the Taconic State Parkway, approximately two miles north of the JCT with the Bear Mountain Parkway.

Pennsylvania

Chester County, West Grove: Drops occur approximately 50% of the time while travelling on US-1 at Mile Marker 14.5, just south of the JCT of US-1 and PA-841. Most recent instance occurred on 11/30/2011.

I-83 at the Maryland-Pennsylvania State Line: Calls drop heading Northbound on I-83 during the transition from the Washington/Maryland-00018/B system to the Harrisburg/Ex-Alltel-00096/B system. Drops occur in both directions, e.g., northbound or south bound. Verizon has been contacted about this issue and Verizon agreed to do drive tests in the area to diagnose and fix the issue, which as of yet has not been resolved. Last tested: 09/10/2006.

Fulton County, Belfast: Drops occur on US-522 while driving north and away from the JCT of PA-655 and after the point where US-522 splits off from PA-655 at a very steep U-turn/horse shoe turn. That area has very poor Verizon coverage on both voice an d data. Most recent instance occurred on 08/19/2012.

Fulton County, Todd: Drops occur while driving south on PA-16 just south of US-30 while proceeding down a hill. Most recent instance occurred on 08/19/2012.

Mercer County, Trenton: At the JCT of US-1 freeway, approaching the JCT with US-13 heading north, digital coverage begins to deteriorate and drops upon reaching the left exit for PA-32(?) just south of the US-1 Trenton bridge. Drops occur approx. 70% of the time. Last tested: 06/10/2003.

Rhode Island

Providence County, Scituate: At the RI/CT line, calls drop along US-6 and will not hand off from the RI/New England/B-00028 market to the CT/A-00119 market, either analog or digital. There is decent coverage near both sides of the line, but for some r eason Verizon never bothered to either cover or allow handoffs there. All calls with Verizon drop heading West along US-6 nearly at the state line (or a 1000 feet into CT) and resume after going up the hill on US-6 or CT-52(?) (CT Turnpike/I-395 RI Extens ion). Nextel has better coverage in the immediate area but generally drops further west on US-6 in CT at the apex of the road prior to the descent to the I-395 JCT. Cingular GSM is even better, but voice quality is very muffled at the immediate CT/RI bord er. Reported 04/25/1999, unresolved as of yet.

Washington County, Westerly: Just north of the state line on I-95, coverage on the Verizon/BAMS B/00028 side is pretty poor, and the Cingular/SNET/B from CT (not the Cingular/SNET/A from RI) bleeds in and causes roaming charges to appear (on generally older plans) before Verizon phones can re-register with the RI/00028/B system. Last observed 10/01/2006.

Vermont

Bennington County, Pownal area: Coverage continues from the Verizon system in the Williamstown, Mass area (00119/A) on US-7 past the state line continuing six miles northward to Pownal, VT. However, by Mile Marker 6, coverage begins to degrade and dro ps shortly thereafter, probably as a result of an incomplete handoff to the US Cellular 01484/B system. Most recent instance occurred on 07/13/2008.

Windham County, Whitingham: There is barely any coverage on MA-8A between the JCT of MA-116 and up to VT-9. Coverage remains spotty until slightly north of Coltrane and just south of VT-9. Most recent instance occurred on 05/23/2010.

Virginia

Clarke County, Berryville: Drops occur while driving north on I-81 at or slightly after the Virginia/West Virginia line.

Most recent instance occurred on 02/10/2013.

Culpeper County, Culpeper, Virginia: Drops occur while travelling on US-15 at the JCT of US-15 and VA-844/Fayettesville Rd, slightly south of the JCT US-15 and US-17 and approximately ten miles north of Culpepper. Most recent instance occurred on 01/0 3/2010.

Fairfax County, Fairfax: Drops occur while driving either eastbound or westbound on I-66 at Mile Marker 68 the JCT with US-29. Most recent instance occurred on 12/03/2007.

Washington DC

Washington DC Metro: Drops occur on the DC Metro Red Line between Twin Brook and White Flint. Most recent instance occurred on 10/20/2010.

Washington DC Metro: Drops occur on the DC Metro Red Line between White Flint and Grosvenor. Most recent instance occurred on 10/20/2010.

Washington DC Metro: Drops occur on the DC Metro Red Line between Grosvenor and Medical Center. However, the drops are not as severe or prolonged as they have been in the past. Moreover, drops seem to only occur between Medical Center and Grosvenor wh en travelling inbound; they do not occur between Grosvenor and Medical center when travelling outbound. Most recent instance occurred on 11/04/2010.

Washington DC Metro: Drops occur and no coverage exists on the DC Metro Red Line between Medical Center and Bethesda. Most recent instance occurred on 12/19/2011.

Washington DC Metro: Calls drop on the Red Line between Woodley Park and DuPont Circle. Most recent instance occurred on 09/28/2009.

Washington DC Metro: Coverage does not exist at Farragut North station on the Red Line. Although it was generally known that drops occur between Farragut North and DuPont Circle stations, the lack of coverage at this station is a new phenomenon. Tyler , a representative from Verizon Wireless, reported on 02/11/2013 that Verizon technicians will investigate this issue and attempt to determine the cause of it. Most recent instance occurred on 03/05/2013.

Washington DC Metro: No coverage exists between DuPont Circle and Farragut North on the Red Line. Drops occur just north of Farragut North station, and the lack of coverage extends beyond DuPont Circle station. Most recent instance occurred on 09/28/2 009.

Calls tend to drop shortly after the switch track area where the Yell ow Line heads southwest in the tunnel prior to emerging to the open air segment leading to the bridge. However, drops do not occur while travelling northbound. Most recent instance occurred on 06/16/2008. This seemed to have been corrected as of 02 /26/2009. However, it occurred once again on 04/28/2009.

Washington DC Metro: Calls drop between L’enfant Plaza and Pentagon on the Yellow line. Most recent instance occurred on 11/29/2010.

Washington DC Metro: Phone displays four or five bars worth of coverage on the Yellow Line (running concurrently with the Blue) within the Crystal City station but the characteristics of Verizon's service within the station make it difficult to place or receive calls for some unknown reason. Calls can be placed or received with a greater degree of success towards the northern end of the station as compared to the southern end, however, generally, some aspect of Verizon's coverage within the station re sults in increased difficulties and delays when placing and receiving calls. Most recent instance occurred on 05/20/2008.

Washington DC Metro: While traveling on the Yellow Line (running concurrently with the Blue) between Crystal City and National Airport, calls drop immediately south of the Crystal City station while still in the tunnel prior to the open cut leading to the elevated airport trackway. Calls will drop in both directions in approximately the same place. Most recent instance occurred on 05/20/2008.

Morgan County, Berkeley Springs: There is very poor coverage on WV-9 between Berkeley Springs and Paw Paw. Coverage should be better as this location is just south of I-68. Most recent instance occurred on 01/23/2011.

I-95/I-495 SB split: At the PA/DE state line, where I-495 (Wilmington Bypass) splits off of I-95, digital calls (CDMA) will get somewhat distorted at times and drop approx 40% of the time. Coverage is VERY good in the area so drops are hard to understand. Last observed, 04/10/2006, appears to have been fixed as of 04/18/2007.

Cecil County, Perryville: While driving south on I-95 and just south of the Havre de Grace bridge, calls drop upon reaching Mile Marker 89. The drops occur at the point where the Philadelphia, Delaware and Cecil County Maryland system (00008 system) h ands off to the DC/Baltimore system (00018 system). It has always been a problem and continues to be a problem. Calls do not hand off in that area and are dropped, even though there is plenty of coverage there. Most recent instance occurred on 04/18/2007. UPDATE- After repeated testing, this drop appears to have been corrected as of 12/03/2008.

Calls now successfully transition from Massachusetts into Vermont. Most recently tested and found to have been corrected on 05/23/2010.

Mercer County, Princeton: calls initiated in the NY/00022 system drop upon entering the Philadelphia/South Jersey/00008 system, generally upon entering Princeton proper on US-206 south. Calls will then drop again 1.5 miles south of the JCT with NJ-27 and US-206 (i.e., the center of town) while traveling southward on US-206. Additionally, system "bleeds" from Philly/00008 towers (same market, but towers south of Trenton on the PA side of the Delaware River in PA) may result in roaming charges for older rate plans despite being clearly in NJ. Last tested: 01/14/2006, appears to have been fixed as of 04/18/2007.

I-84 at the JCT of I-684, Brewster: Calls drop right at the state line when proceeding eastbound transitioning from the NY/B-00022 system to the CT/A-00119 system. Interestingly, the handoffs between systems work fine when traveling westbound and tran sitioning from the CT/A-00119 system to the NY/B-00022 system. Coverage is relatively good on either side of the state line, so the drops must be occurring due to a handoff issue between towers. When contacted, Verizon agreed that such a situation was rid iculous and that if it works in one direction, it should work in the other. Last observed on 05/25/2004, reported to Verizon on 05/26/2004, no resolution yet.

I-84 between the NY (00022) and Mid-Hudson (00486/00404) markets: EB and WB along I-84, approx 3 miles east of JCT Taconic State Parkway (TSP) near EB rest stop or WB NY State Police barracks, at apex of hill on I-84, all calls (analog and digital) dr op between the NY/B-00022 and Orange/Poughkeepsie/B-00404/00486 markets. Opened 10/11/1997, resolved, "only" 9 years later, by 8/2006. (Calls can even be initiated now in Beacon, and drive all the way to Mass along I-84 without a drop; the semi-bad area i n Waterbury at JCT I-84/CT-8 has been fixed. Thus, both eastbound and westbound transitions on Verizon Wireless between the 00022 and 000486/00404 markets on I-84 in New York now seem to work. Resolved 01/02/2007.

I-84 North Salem EB: Handoffs (digital B/00022 BAMS NYC Metro to either digital A/00119 BAMS Wallingford or analog B/00088 SNET-Cingular CT markets) along I-84 will not work. Calls drop after CT Welcome Center west of Danbury. Analog 00022/B to analog 00088/B seem to work. This was brought to BAMS (and then Verizon's) attention in Dec 1998 and they have never managed to get it to work. Opened 12/14/1998, resolved by Summer of 2006.

I-95 Port Chester NB: Handoffs (digital B/00022 BAMS NYC Metro to either digital A/00119 BAMS Wallingford or analog B/00088 SNET-Cingular CT markets) along I-95 will not work. Calls drop near the Greenwich truck scales. Analog 00022/B to analog 00088/ B seem to work. This was brought to BAMS (and then Verizon's) attention in Dec 1998 and they have never managed to get it to work. Opened 12/14/1998, resolved by mid-2005.

Nassau County (Long Island): Poor voice quality and occasional drops for digital and static for analog calls while heading westbound on NY-25A at the Rosslyn viaduct (bypass over the town). Calls initiated in Greenvale will deteriorate at the LIRR bri dge and continue to have problems and/or drop completely as while driving west downhill over the viaduct. Reported 10/17/1997, retested 06/25/2003, appears to have been fixed as of 02/06/2007.

Putnam County, Mahopac: On the Taconic State Parkway near the JCT NY-301, in both northbound and southbound directions, in the vicinity of the Taconic State Park Police barracks calls will drop. Traveling up the incline to the NY-301 overpass, some ca lls initiated in the Orange/Poughkeepsie 00404/00486 markets will drop as they transit into the NY Metro 00022 market in the vicinity of Mile Marker 34.6. Opened 10/11/1997, resolved in part by late 2001 as coverage improved, but both analog and more ofte n digital drops still occur. 07/06/2003 -- tested again, and it still drops (i.e., calls will frequently NOT transit between 00486/00404 Mid-Hudson systems and the 00022 NY Metro system along the Taconic). 07/13/2006 -- tested again and analog and digital seem to transition, but drops occur further south at apex of Taconic at JCT NY-301. As of 05/27/2007, problems are still being experienced in the area; while some calls will transit properly, especially in the northbound direction, calls will drop with a n equal degree of frequency more often than not in the southbound direction. Overall, an area which requires additional work to assure seamless transitions between the two Verizon service areas. UPDATE- As of 07/03/2007, calls in progress while driving bo th northbound and southbound do hand off, although voice quality deteriorates for about 20-30 seconds during the handoff. It is severe enough that neither party can hear the other. Seems to have been fixed as of 07/21/2008.

Queens County - Cunningham Park: Drops occur while driving on I-295 on the southbound transition ramp to the Grand Central Parkway. The drop occurs when going either east or west onto the GSP. Most recent instance occurred on 12/13/2010. Appears to ha ve been corrected as of 04/29/2012.

Windham County, Brattleboro: Calls drop on I-91 at Mile Marker 5 which is just south of the rest area. Most recent instance occurred on 10/13/2009. As of January 2012, and likely even before, the 00313 system now displays a Verizon/Boston 00028 SID an d seems to have been fully incorporated into the Boston system. No handoff problems were experienced at the Vermont/Mass state line, and all issues in that area pertaining to Verizon have been fixed.

Washington DC Metro: Drops occur while riding on the Orange Line between Rosslyn station and Courthouse station. Most recent instance occurred on 12/18/2008. Appears to have been fixed as of 07/27/2010.

Washington DC Metro: Calls initiated before Archives Navy Memorial on the Yellow Line (running concurrently with the Green) will drop while going south towards L'Enfant Plaza midway between the two stations. Most recent instance occurred on 06/16/2008 . This seems to have been corrected as of 02/26/2009.

Washington DC Metro: Drops occur on the Yellow Line between Pentagon City and L’Enfant Plaza station. After leaving the Pentagon traveling north into the District, the train goes over the Potomac and then proceeds into a tunnel, at which point calls d rop. Most recent instance occurred on 12/22/2008. This seems to have been corrected as of 02/26/2009.

Washington DC Metro: Clarendon station on the DC Metro Orange Line -- which previously had both voice and data coverage as of 05/20/2008 -- seems to have suffered a diminishment thereof as there are only a limited number of points within the station w here a signal can be acquired. has no Verizon cellular or data coverage. A paucity of coverage continues heading eastward until approximately halfway between Clarendon and Court House Stations, at which point coverage resumes. This seems to have been corr ected as of 07/13/2008.

Washington DC Metro: No coverage exists at the DuPont Circle station on the Red Line. Even though it is well known that drops occur between DuPont Circle and Farragut North stations, the utter lack of coverage at this station is a new phenomenon. Tyle r, a representative from Verizon Wireless, reported on 02/11/2013 that Verizon technicians will investigate this issue and attempt to determine the cause of it. Most recent instance occurred on 02/11/2013. This seems to have been corrected as of 02/27/201 3.
