In general not as good as Verizon, but I have no real problems with it. Some places it is better than verizon, in my building at work the Verizon customers have to go outside to get a signal but I can use my phone inside.

That used to be associated with how close you were to cell towers.

Did I miss something and we no longer use cell towers? What is the primary facilitator for good cell service now, how ugly your cat is?

I haven't had enough caffeine yet today, I guess.....what are you talking about??
I live in Tall Timbers which is a Verizon Wireless black hole for service. My neighbor has AT&T and they have great service to the point they cancelled their land line.
I thought the new tower in Piney Point was a Verizon tower but our service didn't get any better. Is there a thing as being too close to a tower?

No. Part of the negotiation protocol between the tower and your phone is to determine required transmitter power levels. That's why your battery drains far more quickly in a low or no cell service area, the phone is increasing the power to the transmitter and using more battery.
