Verizon Wireless Problems? No 4G?

If anyone knows of any service providers that are more dependable around the lake I'd love to know of them.
Thank you!

I don't understand why you can't access WiFi on your phone. Do you have it turned on in settings? WiFi in a smartphone doesn't require any cell service.
