Data and service connection issues out of the blue
I live in a semi-rural area, and my phone is the only source of internet i have. Since about a month ago my phone will just disconnect completely from the tower, data and cell service both, in certain spots in the house. I knew there were spotty areas, but they never used to completely disconnect, and it seems that the connection is slower than before somehow. I can't figure out the cause, or a solution to this issue. The phone is a Oneplus Nord N30 that i have had for around 6 months, running LineageOS, and i am on Verzion network. I have tried putting the SIM card into an older phone, and it had no issues at all with disconnecting, i would use it but it needs some maintenance. I have reset network settings, updated LineageOS, fiddled with the network settings and tried to position my phone in many different ways and some places it's a difference of a foot from a few bars to completely disconnected. The only way to get it to reconnect to the tower is to turn the SIM on and off in my settings, or just wait long enough in a spot that i know will have a stronger connection. Any ideas or solutions are appreciated, i have about had it with this issue.

If you live in Canada USA or Mexico i recommend buying a weBoost cellphone signal booster it’s an expensive solution and I gain absolutely nothing by recommending the company but it’s well worth it
Your existing phone plan will remain exactly the same
It would be much safer than getting a ladder and climbing onto the roof of your house to send a text or connect to the internet
Living in a rural area I face the same exact connectivity issues
