Verizon Wireless Balloon Test

Looks like Verizon is looking to put a new tower in near Suissevale. That would probably make a big difference for that area.

Does anyone know if Verizon typically shares its towers? T-Mobile works great where we are off Moultonborough Neck but is sometimes weak on that stretch of 109.

It’s about time

Carriers usually don't own the towers but lease space on them. Often there is more than one carrier on a tower.

That is correct. The tower that is on the East Side of Alton Bay between Rte 28A and Rte 28 has four antennas on it. I think the top one is AT&T, and the next one down is Verizon. Not sure of the other 2.

Well new towers went into Tuftonboro in the past 18months and our service is worse than it was. Good luck. Hope it works....

I wouldn't go back to Verizon if they paid me...In fact a few of their business reps stopped by the office a few weeks go trying to get us to switch back, I practically chased them out the door after telling them not a chance in hell.

My service sucked everywhere and they were considerably higher than I pay T-Mobile for better service and more lines.
