Has anyone near the High House/Carpenter Upchurch area been getting really bad AT&T reception lately? I've been getting only one bar or even zero bars, which makes zero sense because there's an AT&T cell tower just up Carpenter Upchurch. I used to get five bars.

It started yesterday afternoon. If you look up the AT&T outage map, most of our area is a big, red blur.

I've noticed as well. Was getting no service messages on phone and iPad last night.

I am really disappointed with all the carriers because if you are in the UK in the most remote part, you still get a strong signal. Not true in the USA regardless of which carrier you use and there are many areas you get no signal at all and that's 2G, forget about 4G.

The US is a much larger country than the UK so I'm sure that it takes a long time to deploy an extensive network (while keeping up with changing technology) - whether it is worth the money to do so for rural communities that only have a handful of people is another question as well.

There are states that are bigger than the UK, so - really?

Well.
A couple of weeks ago, TWC ran a big old orange conduit through the sewer line for our office plaza.
Thrilling....
