(13,772 posts)The ATT signal here is bad and neighbors say Verizon is better here. Has to do with cell tower signal and location.

(5,109 posts)Verizon has the best frequency. at&t has the lower one,s & lower location's on the tower's . Verizon pay's for the best location's & better equipment on tower,s . that why your your signal strength is shit'y !

(7,263 posts)It's not the location per se - it's whether your provider has paid to use that tower, and what quality of equipment they use.
Don't let them tell you different. 2 Carriers can use the same tower (unless lease is exclusive - not sure how many do that) - but one will send out a better signal if their equipment is superior. But both transmitters are on the exact same tower.

(10,303 posts)Last year I went to Galax VA - and I had "Roaming" on US Cellular - no T-Mo service. This week - full bars T-Mo 4G and some 5G too. This area was good under Sprint and seems like they switched the Sprint towers over to T-Mo. If Sprint service is reported to be good then you'll be good under T-Mobile. Also T-Mo really didn't get into the content generation game by buying up content creators like AT&T and Verizon did.

(8,726 posts)Have had direct tv for 20 years, took over by AT&T, my credit card was taken over by AT&T, been a Cowboy fan for 45 years (save the sarcasm please, I have a sense of loyalty) and this year looks good, the stadium is AT&T, traded in my Toyota truck for a new model that should last until I die, they give money to GQP, I have to shop Walmart in rural WNC, nothing else here. Email is ancient @yahoo. Guess, to be a loyal lib I should rid my life of everything. Who doesnt give to criminal politicians? Just damn it. Need to just head to the woods a live real life Naked and Afraid. Just being snarky. But guess I need to do the tons of paperwork and whatever to drop em all. Supporting OAN is a final straw. And, Pigeons are government issued drones? Really?? We are domed anyway. What a mess.

(23,097 posts)A lot of insiders, inlcluding the #2 guy, left the company very abruptly right around this time. Not long after, AT&T & Citibank made a sweetheart deal to sell Universal Card if Citi would convert all their phone systems to AT&T. This was illegal, so they covered it up, and AT&T became a right wing co. right afterwards. I stopped using AT&T entirely when I left just before the Citiborg buyout and unless they change dramatically, I will never use them again.

(8,028 posts)and got 15 gigabytes of data, versus the 4 that I had with my AT&T plan, and with the prepaid and loyalty discounts my phone service bill will be 1/2 of what I was paying to Amerikan Trump & Treason.

(10,869 posts)Been with them since the mid 90s. Will get an eval phone from T-Mo this week to see how I like their service for my business. If all goes well, I can cut ties with ATT, even though I get a great rate from them (corporate discount from my days as an MSFT employee).

(357 posts)I had been with AT&T since 2009. I just switched due the OAN story. The thought of my money going to finance right wing fascist propaganda made the difference.

(2,690 posts)No ambiguity about sponsoring. They are practical owners of the network. OAN has admitted. stated publicly, that without AT&T backing, theyd fold like cheap tent in the wind.
Ive been trying to arrange for the switch to Verizon who, at least, have not yet been outed as bankrolling Nazis and Neo-nazis, white supremacists and Pluto-fascists -- as has AT&T.
(Neither AT&Ts nor Verizons websites have proven to be easy to navigate for information. For AT&T I really dont care, but I dont want to cancel them until I get Verizon set up -- I think thats the procedure: dont quit what you have until you actually are signed with the one you want.)
I hope no one here is heavily invested in AT&T because its stock is dropping and, I think, is going to plummet before this is over. I wouldnt think of advising anyone on stocks, but hell yeah, Id advise you to quit an openly fascist, propagandizing corporation that supports and enables the Big Lie.
