[Durham INC] Fw: [cwneighbors] Verizon service availability in Colony Woods

[Pat Carstensen]

There has been a flurry of e-mails this week on our list-serve about failing cell service (see below for an example) in our neighborhood.  It has always been iffy for some providers, but apparently things are much worse all of a sudden to the point of some folks wanting a new cell tower (but probably not next to them (-:)


I was wondering if other neighborhoods have experienced anything similar.


Regards, pat

I spent several hours over 2 days at the Verizon store as my cell suddenly quit getting reception.   I had intended to put this info on the list serve right away for other Verizon folks, but, simply, forgot.
After a bit of a good old southern girl hissy fit, the Verizon person who had been called by the store rep finally became honest and told me that our area would no longer have the service we have had in the past---period.  The critical mass, apparently, had been reached and because there were simply too many people in the area wanting service, it "collapsed".  There is NO planning for a new tower at this point and she was discouraging about it at all because our area has traditionally opposed towers (not in my back yard!).  I was flabbergasted!  Then the store rep was honest and said 3 other people had been in that day and the previous one with the same complaint, and from our same area.  I had just cancelled my land line after over 2 years of fighting regularly with that service provider over consistent non-working issues.  I told them I have a medically fragile child and must somehow get service so they'd be losing my family account.  Suddenly, she offered my wi-fi which can be used only in my home, so doesn't help walking around the neighborhood.  I "think" it is basically the same kind of bundled phone one would receive through the internet provider, like spectrum.  Obviously, it won't work if we are without electricity for a period.
I'd love it if someone would prove me incorrect, based on what I was told by Verizon.  Discouraging!

Good Day Colony Woods !   I live on CW Dr and have no service 99% of the time on my Verizon mobile phone, as of about two weeks ago.  Before we had 2-3 bars and always quality service.  But something changed and Verizon was not helpful.

I am wondering if other Verizon users (and others) have recently noticed a serious drop in mobile signal, especially to result in no service.

Thanking everyone for any information,   Fred
