[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 701265, member: 1963"] US Cellular was the other carrier available in my town up North. Problem was that I had to drive into the downtown to get service! And there was no coverage for a huge area outside of downtown; we're talking about 40 sq mi. Alltel was the only carrier that had all of the Northwoods covered at that time. Verizon bought them out to get those towers. What really irritated me was that I'd been off contract with Alltel for a few years and Verizon required all of us to sign new contracts to be able to continue service with them. They also didn't have the cut-rate basic service that I had had with Alltel. So, my service went from 38 dollars a month up to 68 dollars a month. I was NOT happy. [/QUOTE]
