Which Network Has the Best Cellular Network Coverage for Southern Delaware?
Main Post:
I searched for this and didn't find any discussion in the past couple of years. Can anyone tell me what cellular networks people have had good (or bad) luck with coverage in southern Delaware? I'm looking for feedback for Sussex County and Southern parts of Kent County as far as Dover. Bonus if it includes coverage in MD between there and the bay bridge. I have Mint (T-Mobile) and it seems spotty even in developed areas and transit corridors and I want to know if ATT or Verizon are much better.
Top Comment: Verizon has the best coverage around here. Not perfect, but more coverage than the rest
Fictional Philadelphia Area (Delaware Valley) Rail Network Map
Top Comment: Hello everyone! This is a fictional rail network map I have created for the Delaware Valley region of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. I was inclined to create this because I felt that the Philadelphia area could still use some better connectivity and frequency of rail (although it is still quite good under general US commuter rail standards), especially across the Delaware River itself to give more southern New Jerseyans rail access other than PATCO and the infrequent NJT Atlantic City line. I also noticed that there are a decent amount of urban centers in southeastern Pennsylvania such as Allentown, Reading, and Bethlehem that would surely benefit from connections to-and-from Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs. The "Suburban Lines" listed in the bottom left are the commuter rail services which serve a lot of what SEPTA already does today, yet with added lines branching out to other underserved areas that could use the rail equally as much. The "Regional Lines" extend out further distances than the suburban lines, skipping many of the stops along the way in order to make for quicker journeys between high demand cities and suburbs. I intentionally did not include one of these regional lines on the Northeast corridor since Amtrak would most likely be taking on that intercity-connector role. Stations served by Amtrak are indicated by the logo next to the station name. The thin, light grey lines are services ran by other operating companies, which in this (fictional) world would have their own maps, trains, rights of way, etc. I made this map entirely out of pure enjoyment. I am totally open to constructive criticism and/or suggestions on what I could add, fix, or change on the map (especially if you are from the area represented in the map), but please do not take this *too* seriously as I am just a teenager with a wandering imagination :). Thank you!!

Anyone use Xfinity and have advice about the Internet essentials?

Top Comment: Comcast/Xfinity can pound sand after their network of contractors and subcontractors tore up my neighborhood, cutting cable and water lines (and a gas line in a nearby community) last fall.

Delaware gets one or two of three teams - depending on blackout and conflicts:
Washington Commanders
Philadelphia Eagles
Baltimore Ravens.
Plus the national games.
