I wonder if you have a radiant barrier up in your attic to help reflect
the sunshine from heating up your home? That kind of stuff can block
cell signals.

Since I moved three weeks ago I had been having problems with my
iPhone 6. I had dropped calls, had to say hello multiple times before
anyone could hear me. Had spent more than 6 hours in three phone
calls with Verizon, and there is a tower less than half a mile away
that can be seen through the trees on one side of my house. I was
told I was in a marginal area, however, the phone worked perfectly at
the grocery store less than half a mile away, at Costco, at my old
house even, as well as at church, my old church that is! Worked in the
beauty shop, worked at the hospital, just my new house seemed to have
problems.
Now I don’t know how to change modem settings or where for my
CenturyLink modem, maybe they have to do it but if so they did not
during the two phone calls I made to them in the past three weeks,
admitted I had problems, sent a repair person, and I know the internet
occasionally blips out for a bit, had to reset it two times yesterday,
bad weather here, but at the old house reset it exactly one time in
two years!
Verizon told us I needed a cell phone extender, it arrived, we hooked
it up and no change in service on my 6 but cousin’s 4 worked a lot
better, especially if she was at the desk.
Spent 2 hours on phone with tech person on Monday, resetting phone
multiple times, going into the computer to check internet settings on
the computer, turned on and off the modem… and still service for me
was horrible, although the 4 my cousin was even more improved at the
end of the procedure.
Yesterday evening, during a thunderstorm no less got a call from
Verizon and was told I needed to turn off advanced settings, to look
for such and such graphic. It took me four tries to explain that I
could not see any of the graphics, that I was using Voiceover and had
to tell him what the cellular screen said at least 10 times before he
said I needed to have advanced settings turned off, connected
(three-way call) with customer service and turned advanced settings
off. I don’t know what difference this will make in the long run, but
today I have answered three calls with clearer voice quality, made two
calls, no dropouts on any calls, don’t have to yell hello multiple
time to be heard. However, I am still only getting 1 to 2 bars. None
of the items in my settings have really changed like I was told to
expect, still looks the same as before his call and for all the calls
I have made in past weeks.
Just putting this out there if anyone with a 6, 6S, 5SE run into this
type of problem.
Just what I can expect after having the 6 for nearly 2 years with
advanced turned on is something I do not know as I have been in my
house all day long, meeting with realtor who has now sold my old
house, friend of my cousin who lives in the community, trying to catch
up with e-mail that came in during storm last evening …
I hope that anyone faced with similar problem of poor connections at
home anyway can benefit from my story.
