Thing is, we really can't fully blame the carriers since The Villages does not allow cell towers on their property and existing carriers just got in the right place around the outskirts.
The big WVLG tower just north of LSL would be a great place for cell service but they won't allow it. |
Sorry that is not supported by facts.... One of the latest cell tower under construction is near Bonita Blvd and Buena Vista Blvd. It is my understanding it will be shared by the 4 major servicers, as are most of the newer towers. This info was provided to me by an AT&T rep.
Cell phone tower signal good for 5 miles on average.
AT&T sure needs a stronger signal south of LSL.
