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?

The new Alton tower that is above the Echo Point area is up and running. I don't get quite as good a signal of it on Verizon as my kids do on ATT, however both my wife and I have 3 bars of 4G, and can make and receive phone calls.

I too had a problem with my 4G and just before calling Verizon or going to the Verizon store in Rochester, I went down through all my settings and noticed that the phone was set to global. Changed it to LTE, and no problems since. Not sure how it got onto Global, but am once again a happy camper.

Not sure the new Alton tower would give much coverage to the west end of Rattlesnake due to terrain obstructions and distance.

Just for additional info, I'm also with Verizon and am getting 2 bars of 4G in West Alton on the mainland between Minge Cove and Smalls Cove.
