Anyone know what's going on or has anyone noticed this? At least in this general area, Verizon 4G/3G is completely unavailable.
The cell tower near Gunstock is not new. We have been getting data service from it on West Welch for many years, first 1X then 3G and finally 4G about 2 years ago.

There is a new tower in Alton, don't know if Verizon is a player on it. There was a thread on the Alton tower status about a year ago. Could your strong 1X signal be from a tower other than Gunstock maybe the Alton tower?
