They must know some tricks in Norwich. My phone will say it has 3 bars of 5g but then can't even load Reddit. Real pain while working there since we have to update costumer info on tablets and will often have to drive almost over to Hanover to actually get service.

Try turning off 5G.

I’m not sure why, but when I enable 5G on my phone, I can’t get a good connection even when I have multiple bars. Then I turn off 5G and it’s fine.

I’m not saying it’ll fix things, but it’s worth a try.

The tablets aren't 5G and have the same issue. You can have 4 bars LTE and still nothing.

It's kinda the nature of VT the phone or tablet can hear the tower but the tower can't hear you is essentially whats going on.

Its just frustrating having to drive 10+ minutes out of the way after every job, it can easily add an hour to my day. It's the only town in happens in for me.

I hear ya my old place in N Central VT was horrible. Always had full bars getting signal from up high in Stowe the phone just didn't have the power to hit it back. Had a small area in one window to place the phone to get service. Held it there with thumbtacks.

Norwich is SO bad for cell service and yeah, your phone will tell you it has service but then you can't do anything, like use your phone for payments at the farmers market.

Weird...I deliver pizza in Hanover and cell service is AWFUL there but I actually can get it in Norwich (at least around Main st.)
