Verizon takes pride in how it gathers this information. I once saw on
television what they do with those trucks. They have several phones hooked up
in vans which are automated. The driver drives from place to place and they
check coverage. Simple.
If Verizon's reputation were such that it was in contrast to what they claim,
then I would consider their results to be problematic, but that is not the
case. Their claims are backed up by the fact that customers simply like them
the best [at the expense of cash in their wallets].
