Sorry to hear that. I've been using Verizon for years, and one of the main reasons was their amazing coverage all over the US. I've had great luck with them to date, especially with their coverage. I can't even remember the last time I had a coverage problem. I also have an associate using their broadband wireless card on his laptop, and he's successfully maintaining a good connection on his daily train commute from Gilroy up to SF (1.5 - 2 hour trip each way.) keeping a connection to our internal webapp via VPN.
