Very bad reception

Reception on verizon iPhones became really bad recently.
Before I use to have signal everywhere. Now I barely get 1 bar or just (1x) displaying on the phones when we are at home. It does not matter if we are inside or outside. The internet is even worse! Unless we are on the wifi takes an eternity to load a page.
I called verizon and they said the only option would be buy an extender. I really don't think is fair that we pay our (not cheap) monthly fee to get services and also have to pay for an extender in order to be able to receive or make call on the cell phone when we are home.
By the way this is affecting our 3 iPhones 5s and the iPad Air.
we are seriously considering switch for a different company, since they are even willing the pay the early termination fee up to $350.00 per phone.
Any sugestions?

Rafinha,
We definitely would not want to see you leave! Let's find out what is going on! What zip code are you in? Have you tried resetting the network on your devices? (Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings) Do other model devices have the same issue, or is it just your Apple products? I definitely want to help find a solution that will work, especially since this seems to be a recent issue.

Very bad reception in area

Our area has very bad cell reception. It takes me 3 or 4 calls to get a full conversation in with anyone. I work from home 3 days a week and I really need better reception. We are in area code 22556. is there anyway to get better reception without having to buy a signal booster?

We are in zip code 22556. Voice and data are bad reception. We have our
phones connected to WIFI while at home, but if WIFI is turned off we get 3G
on and off inside and outside. No physical damage to our phones. My wife
just got the new HTC One 8 and I've had my GS3 for just over a year now.

My wifi had very poor reception after installing the new iOS 7? I think

Ipad probs with my DMQJRB2YF18Y model A1460 fccid BCGA1460
I Have done sll the reset, check router, blablabla .... Even went to mcD and could not connect there. I have reception, close ( where I can see router) 3 bars, far ...next level of house (where it used to work) the small little dot of the 3 bars. .??
My wife has a ipad2
I have an ipad3
She has reception without a problem any distance from router.
I had reception anywhere in the hose, but now I must be within line of sight to have wifi.
I never dropped, changed or did anything hut upgrade the software when Apple said i should.
My ipad is now nothing more than my biggest frustration
I have done everything i could find, like switch off both the pad and router, reset ipad,forget network, delete history, delete cookies, etc etc .....
Apple tries to blame the problem on the user or the environment ..... Only problem .... We have 2 devices, of which one is very happy and one is very bad bad bad to say the least!-

IOS-7 cured my acne!

I have a very bad coverage in my apartment. Please assist me to improve.

I have a very bad coverage in my apartment. Please assist me how to improve it. Sometime I dont receive call at all. Sometime I am talking on the phone and call dropped with error of "No network coverage".

We strive to offer you the best possible wireless connection where you need it most, Charique! Many factors can affect reception while indoors. Does the service improve as soon as you step outside?
Thank you,

Fios Internet connection is very bad! Please help!

Hello,
I play an online game called Final Fantasy XIV. I use a program called WTFast in order to have a solid gaming experience, one without or very little lag or disconnects.
Recently, within the last 3-4months, I have noticed I get EXTREME lag and DISCONNECTS. I contacted WTFast with a tracert that they analyzed, and here is their response:
"Your internet connection is very bad. There is a "plateau" spike. This will cause WTFast to spike as well, and for such a long "spike" it is not surprising that the connection was dropped.
The previous report showed a very unstable internet connection as well (the one where you got a 30 second freeze).
Present the same reports you sent to us to your ISP (Verizon FIOS) and ask them to try to make their connection better. The report will help them see the quality of the current connection."
Here is the information in the more readable form (except for the last four as I figured you would probably get the idea by then). Yes, 4 shows 100% packet loss, so the connection dropped then. Also, in 5 the standard deviation is high (16.35 ms) which indicates a huge fluctuation in the signal. The flux column also shows large numbers, which indicates a large variance in the signal speed. Finally, there are a lot of hops just within the ISP, ie rows 2-8, and all this data is for the ISP itself, not the WTFast connection. In fact, that connection is the last one, and there you can see good numbers. Hope this helps.

I did a tracert from my computer to sites like MSN.com; Verizon.com etc, and EVERY SINGLE 4 shows a 100% loss. I did the same tracert from my computer at work that uses a different IP provider, and those same sites show a response from 4.
Can anyone help me out with this please! Thank you for reading!

Also it was not and never has been jailbroken if that helps.

Error message: "Warning: unresponsive script". Afterward, the system freezes and will then crash. Crash reports have been submitted many, many times without response. I have tried the fore-mentioned solutions with either no results or very bad results which I filed a report but did not receive an answer. The application to block scripts actually worsened the problem and I could not correct the situation for a while (no response from Firefox, at all). I have also been through this procedure without any one contacting me, AT ALL.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://http://www.facebook.com (always) and www.YouTube.com (sometimes)

There does appear to be any support whatsoever from mighty "non caring" FIREFOX & people are getting fed up. We may as well try another system, if they can't be bothered to provide any support for their system, we can't be bothered to use their system.

When I phone people can hear me without any problem, but I hear very very bad. The sounds is metallic and it is very difficult to understand. Have anyone idea of what is it about. I guess is not a software problem but I am not an expert. Thanks in advance

My 2008 MacBook Pro screen has now got interference across the whole screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable interference from bad reception. What is the problem here?

My 2008 MacBook Pro has interference across the full screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable TV screen with bad reception. Any idea of what the problem might be?

Took it to the Apple Store, they determined it's my screen that's messed up (they connected to another monitor, and since the lines didn't mirror onto the monitor it couldn't have been my GPU making the lines but rather the screen itself), so not connected to my wifi issue or a potential logic board issue, so I'm going to get my screen, wifi card, and trackpad (it's been failing too but that wasn't urgent at all) replaced for $330 using their flat-rate repair service which is much better than I imagined in terms of price.

I am a macbook pro user form last 2 yrs, recently i upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow leopard. Since then operational speed is a major concern. Now It has crashed so very badly that I am scared of my data.Please help me.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

You may need to reset your network settings, making sure the network you're accessing is stable: tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If your iPhone still can't connect to App Store, tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > tap the Apple ID and sign out > later, sign in with your Apple ID.

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Micro

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.
