Verizon Delays Shutdown of old CDMA Network
LTE Is Garbage!
The reason nobody wants to go all 4G/5G is that it is garbage. CDMA is practically everywhere and rarely fails or drops traditional phone calls. People who use cellphones for their original purpose rely on it to work for them.

"Nobody wants to go all 4G/5G" - that's not true whatsoever. If it were, 99% of Verizon's network wouldn't already be using their LTE network on a full-time basis. CDMA is a dead technology. It takes up way too much bandwidth, and incredibly inefficient with spectrum. Yes, it was a great technology back in the day, but those days are gone. VoLTE can do everything and more that CDMA can do. It's time to move on and let it die.

Everyone I know HATES their all-LTE Verizon phones: less coverage, dropped calls, network congestion etc. And no, LTE, a TDMA derivative, isn’t more efficient.
...
LTE is absolutely more efficient than CDMA, and LTE has far more in common with CDMA than TDMA.

I challenge both of you to travel to East Tennessee/North Georgia rural areas with an all-LTE Verizon phone (or any all LTE phone). See if you still have that same opinion.
...
I didn't say anything about your experience with coverage or service quality issues. I don't question that you've had bad experiences with Verizon's network where you are.
I was only referring to the technical aspects of LTE technology, which are not opinion.
