Look here and you can see what towers are available in or near Fenney:
Wildwood, FL Cell Towers, Signal Map & Lease Rates | CellReception
This looks at AT&T towers. There is no tower close to Fenney; hence the weak signal.
It looks like T-Mobile has the best coverage in the Fenney area.
FenneyGuy, this is not a personal slam against you - simply my observation that "information on the Internet" must be taken with a grain of salt.

I don't think that site is showing all the towers in our area.

I don't have professional knowledge of cell towers, but I do know this. There are cell antennas on top of the water tower next to Turtle Mound golf course (Buena Vista and 466A). A couple years ago I talked to a contractor who was working on them and he told me they were for Sprint.

Another example is a massive cell tower near the hospital, in Lady Lake on 441 in front of Harbor Chase.

Just my 2 cents. I don't see red pins for either of these.
