One down....one to go; YES to AT&T!!!!
 

Page one of today's Villages Daily Sun:

AT&T ADDING TWO NEW CELL SITES TO SERVE THE VILLAGES
As many of you know, I've been lobbying for almost a year to get new AT&T towers.....and better coverage in TV.

The article in today's paper says AT&T will install two new cell sites and upgrade its capacity of existing cell sites in TV. Yay!

Can't wait for the day when I can report the new indoor pool or pools in TV are under construction! :)

I can't WAIT for the AT&T service to improve in the Duval area!!! Trying to be patient............ :D

Bill :)

Alright Swimdawg, you lobbied AT@T. Many of us were present when you had AT&T on the phone at Crispers. And I personally know that you have barraged them with communications. We gave up on them, but we should have trusted you. Boy Howdy, you came through for all of the AT@T users in The Villages. When those two towers go up everyone can call mom 'n 'em without any dropped calls, but that was only AT&T.

NO one, not even you, can change things with the reigning powers of The Villages. If they say no indoor pool....then you will have to eat cake.;)

And who is responsible for getting a traffic signal on my corner back home....on the busiest road in Western New York.... Niagara Falls Blvd.....when the politicians, the DOT and all the higher ups said it wasn't necessary? You doubt me? It's true....the "swimdawg" traffic signal is now in place on Niagara Falls Blvd back home.

Now for the indoor pool here in TV.....

Hmmmm....but I do love cake. :icon_wink:

I'm a retired AT&T guy, My blood is blue!
That said, I've been truly aggravated with the poor cell service in Hemingway. I'm so close to dropping them it hurts.
I hope this helps, I'm really tired of dropped calls. Thanks !

What a couple of achievements!!!!!! AT&T, Traffic light. Indoor pool?

Are you going to give yourself the SPOTD award as I think you deserve it. :)

Not that good, 2BNTV....but I appreciate the thought. :)

How is the quality of Verizon cell service in TV ?

swimdawg, alright , I read the article, by the end of September it says.

now here's an old AT&T engineering fable.....

an older woman gets married for the 4th time,
she whispers to her groom "I'm a virgin".
In disbelief, he says "how can that be if you've been married three times?"

she says "husband #1 fell down a stair at the alter after the ceremony and died instantly. husband #2 was killed in an auto crash leaving the ceremony."

he says, "oh my gosh? and what about husband #3?"

she says "oh, #3 was an AT&T Bell Labs engineer and I was married to him for 30 years til he died. Each night, he'd sit on the end of the bed and
tell me how great our sex life was going to be"
-------------------------------

just a little humor whilst I wait for September.
I've seen to much to be other than skeptical.

I have Verizon
 

We don't have any problem with service in Bonita or around the Villages.

Bonita
 

I believe the study performed by the POA indicated in excess of 15 complaints form Bonita residents. :ohdear:

September of what year??? :shocked: Heh-heh! :)

"Seeing, (or rather talking-and-listening), is believing!" Stories were floating around last year, some of them validated via AT&T personnel, that signal strength and coverage was going to improve by late fall or the end of the year. We were there in December and our signal was exactly the same as it has been for the last year.

:popcorn:

Bill :)

I'd love to get excited about this news as we drop at least half our calls from our home in the Village of St Charles but I also remember being told a tower was going up in September 2011, then in February 2012 but now it's September 2012. Seems a lot of our friends are switching to Verizon and we may be close behind.

A big "high-five" to you, Swimdawg!!!:MOJE_whot: :clap2:
Good luck with the indoor pool. Ya think you could have that done by the time I move to TV? :1rotfl:

And the award goes to!!!!!!
