Re: femtocells are for idiots said by patcat88:If you need a femtocell because of coverage, get a new carrier. You pay each month for the right to USE a network, not the right to RUN a network. Let the carriers build and maintain a network, not hand it off to subscribers. Not an option here to just change carriers. The cell tower for ALL the carriers is on the mountain behind our home, but just due to the specific place our home sits, signals are very low inside the house and on our property due to the shielding that a mountain sized rock between the antennas and us affords. (The house also has 18" thick limestone exteriors walls in part of the structure, too) There are many dropped calls on every carrier as folks drive by for the same reason.
While I like the idea of a femtocell in my home, I'm not willing to wait much longer for it to be available on my carrier...one that I'm satisfied with overall and have been with since 1996. So it's likely that a repeater will be installed here in the not to distant future. I can get an outside signal high enough on the roof to make that a viable alternative. |
