In some new areas (Monarch Grove, Richmond) they installed temporary cell stations until the towers were upgraded.

So if in a new area with poor reception, it wouldn't hurt to call and complain.


Another factor for those close to the Turnpike, heavy traffic tends to overload nearby towers so you might see some degradation of service during those periods.
