Just because you have 5 bars doesn't mean you have the fastest speed. You can have 2 bars somewhere and have a faster speed than somewhere else that you have 5 bars.
There could be an issue with Verizon's data network but I'm in Canada so I have no idea.
The 4G data issues is most likely causing your iMessage issue cause iMessage uses data and if there is no data connection or it's slow it will send as a text message instead.
