So my question is which provider other than Verizon provides reasonable coverage along the ICW? I'm looking for recommendations. Thanks Dennis replies... Nice to see you the other day outside Wilmington, DE. The dinghy stayed on top of the van for the whole trip to VT! I don't think you will do better than Verizon when traveling. I suspect you are in a valley of coverage where you are docked, but while traveling, we have always had better coverage with Verizon than other cruisers with competing carriers. On the other hand, if you are not cruising, get a short term contract with the server whom most use locally. A few years ago we changed from Nextel to Verizon for other issues, but were more satisfied with service from Verizon.
