Until around a year ago this area was also a dead zone for cell phones.
Verizon built a tower only a few hundred yards away and now I get 5 bars when before I got zero. I have noticed that it is possible to check the internet by the phone but it is awkward.
I’m thinking that DSL added 10% to the value of my house. Nobody wanted to live out here but now houses are going up little by little. Got to think the fiber CenturyFink laid down had something to do with it.
