AT&T Cell Phone Service in Meredith?

John A. Birdsall · 10-27-2009, 02:25 PM

I was headed to the lake up rt 125 when I read a billboard, Welcome, you are now in AT&T Wireless Country. At that spot I lost my at&t coveraage.

However, my sister has Verison and cannot always get coverage at the lake.

Thus At& T should put a tower up on top of MT Major and have it look like a pine tree. there is a pine tree that sticks up on the south ridge of Mt. Major.
With one up there I should be able to get Florida without any problems.

Verizon coverage is very good around the lake. I have Verizon and no issues with coverage around the lake. The coverage maps from Verizon Wireless show digital coverage throughout the lakes region. AT&T Wireless is the pits. I used to work for Alcatel and AT&T Wireless was a large customer. As such, all the corporate cell phones were AT&T Wireless. I used to lose coverage at the intersection of route 3 and route 495 in Chelmsford.

AT&T Wireless has some cool handsets, but their network is poor both in coverage and speed. AT&T Wireless is spending on implementing HSPA as an interim play. They will not be doing LTE for quite a while, so their network will continue to lag Verizon Wireless.

If I had to have AT&T Wireless, I would put a femto cell in my house for coverage.

The original message was from 6 months ago so I suppose the vacationer has already come and gone. I have AT&T for cellular and I have noticed a few dead spots while looking at property in the Meredith area in the late summer; including a lack of coverage on Meredith Neck.

AT&T has a huge dead zone in the area to the south of the lake; from Alton down to Epsom there is basically no AT&T cellular coverage.
