My grandfather has 2 AT&T phones, and lives about ½ mile from Applegarth Road in Rossmoor (Monroe Twp),
I'll ask him how he likes his service, and if it has improved recently.

Rossmoor is right behind the NJ Turnpike just west of Jamesburg, I plan to visit him next month,
My phone gets a great Verizon & good Sprint signal at his home from a tower near NJTP Exit 8A

Many of those new installs are in areas known to be dead or near dead spots for AT&T. Now if they could make some improvements in Newark that would be great. What I did notice today is an improvement in 3G speeds in the area overall after a couple of months of lower than usual speeds. Also it looks like they finally fixed the "no data" issue along the GS Parkway between exits 149 and 152. It's good to know they're working on it.
