Re: So...
Of course not. I don't get any VZW service and nearly no AT&T service at my office which is 2 blocks away from interstate 5, in the commercial center of Tustin, CA. If they have no interest in service over 1000 commercial and residential accounts (about how many I estimate work and live in this dead zone), they don't give a shit about one normal person (you). |

| Walnut and Franklin. No service VZW, barely any AT&T. You might get one bar out side or a few if you're on the roof. T-Mobile is fine though, so I can't really test the exact size of the dead zone with mine, but I've heard the whole area has problems. |

The article said they'd give you a tower, and I'm sure they would...but at cost. |

Known trouble area
I live in an "known trouble area" and called Verizon tech service to ask about tower locations to help me point my outdoor antenna.
After some phone tag, I found myself talking with someone that was trying to get me, to let them, install a tower on my property.
This is near some moderate population areas and a town. And everyones cell service is spotty at best, dropping out near where I live in this "dead spot".
Well, I didn't want that thing on my property, end of story.  |

Hmm...you could have made some very nice money on that tower! |

They pay you monthly to have the tower on your property. |

Re: So...
I'm on the other side of Walnut from L3, a few buildings east of the train tracks. The towers seem to all be over on the Market Place side of the freeway, I guess the signal doesn't fare will with all the large buildings around here. T-Mobile must have a tower nearer to here cause I get nearly full bars. |

Re: Known trouble area
A family I know had a company (I think it was at&t) that put a cell tower on their property, at&t paid them like $700/month for it. |
