I'm very pleased to report that iOS 10.0.3 fixed the "No Signal" issue for me. As I mentioned in a previous post, I can replicate this problem in a specific section of my work. I've gone through that area multiple times now with no failure in signal. Additionally, the phone is quick to find signal at wireless-enabled subway stations here in NYC.
Performance is at least on par with, if not better than, my iPhone 6.

I can confirm that this update does not fix the issue. Currently bouncing between LTE, No Service, and 3G. Still having to toggle airplane mode multiple times to actually get cellular service working in places where other iPhones work fine.
What a disaster.

My experience with the 10.0.3 patch was better until this afternoon. It appears as if holding the LTE signal is quite the effort for my phone. It will have 4 bars of LTE and randomly drop to 3G. The 3G signal will have 2 - 3 bars. It will find the LTE signal again but it takes a bit. The software tweak they rolled out did resolve some stability but it isn't like the 6s. I hate to say it but I am wondering if we are dealing with a hardware issue.
Edit: Just a note, I did flip airplane mode on and off, phone went to LTE right away.

I am sorry to hear that 10.0.3 has not fixed the problem for some folks. So far it has fixed my issues both at home and along my hour and twenty minute commute where I would lose signal between 3 and 4 times on 10.0.2. I hope future updates help to a greater extent.
Yes. Slight improvement on download. Worse on upload

Did you try removing the beta version and go with the official release from yesterday?
I honestly see no difference between beta 4 and 10.0.3. None whatsoever. I'm gonna just install the beta again.
I finally broke down on Saturday and picked up a 7, and had no issues what-so-ever. I'm in North Jersey, Sussex County to be precise. Spent the day running errands, went down to Wayne, then Morristown so I was in some of the same areas that have reported issues and I was fine. No issues at home either. I updated to the "fix" just in case, but I was good prior. Hopefully everyone gets their issues resolved, I feel for everybody, this stinks!
So 10.1.4 beta (& 10.1.3) has vastly improved the problem. No more no service etc.
However, when it does lose signal, it takes a very long time to restore LTE. It can say 1G for 2 minutes and I just toggle airplane mode and instantly finds LTE.
Something is still unresolved.
Oddly, I had this issue 1 year ago in the Fall of 2015 with a brand new iPhone 6S on iOS 9. Almost every time I left my house (where I would be on wifi), the phone would seemingly lose its ability to get data. It would display "LTE", but I couldn't actually USE data on Verizon's network. I had to toggle airplane mode on/off to get a useable data connection - doing so would completely fix the issue until the next time my phone was on a wifi network. My wife's brand new iPhone 6S did NOT have this same issue - only mine. Both iPhones were set up as "new" devices - not from a backup.
Anyway, I ended up doing a DFU restore on the iPhone 6S (setting it up again as a "new" phone) and this fixed my issue completely. It almost seemed like the iOS installation was flawed from the factory.
I only bring this up in an attempt to help - a DFU restore of iOS could potentially fix your issue. Worth a try perhaps.
Whoa where are you seeing those speeds? I usually only see 50-80mbps here in NJ
