Mrs.Cicero Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It happens here at home on a daily basis. And it's getting tiresome. I'd like dependable internet and phone service. But I think it's a pipe dream. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can step out my back door, look east and clearly see the top of the cell tower that is 2 or 3 miles from me over the tree line. Then I look down at my phone and see 1 bar or "no service". First world problmes can be kind of nice at times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I used to have to argue with my ell provider when I didn’t have service and I kept tell them I’m about two miles away from a cell tower that is on a small hill. After looking at their tower they found and realized the tower needed work. Two months it took. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me that it was because I lived too close to the tower and that I was in the shadow of the signal. So I switched to T Mobile and who happens to use the exact same tower and my signal improved considrably. Still no signal in some parts of my property, but I can now do an Oliver Douglass and climbe the pole out behind the house to make a call. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
