A few years ago the residents in the south end of the villages were having serious cell phone problems with AT&T. I was volunteering with a local organization and they asked me to help with the problem. I did. I collected about 500 names of residents who were
complaining. I contacted AT&T and met with their VP for Florida. He brought with him his lap top and showed me the areas not covered well with Towers. To build a Tower costs about $1M and can take up to 18 months. First the land, then Gov.approval, then building etc. A temporary solution, was he made arrangements for those residents to get a booster for the area's which helped until a tower could be built in those locations effected by the problem. Some got a booster free, some at half price, etc. Because of the rapid building in the south area's it may be sufficient towers have not been built yet thus the poor reception? It is sometimes hard for the infrastructure to keep up with the rapid changes in growth?
