How can I get reliable phone service?

Why? You would just tell me everything is good on your end . Meanwhile I keep enduring lost calls year after. I hate your service and have constant problems' My neighbor across the street has the same issues and doen'nt even use her phone. Its therre for the 300 $ bundle. Ridiculous.

I would insist that a tech come out and inspect the coax from the pole to your home or test the underground coax if it is burried.

I had squirrel chewed coax. Once replaced, it fixed a lot of problems.
Since you and neighbor have this problem, I bet it might be a rodent or bad in ground cable issue.
