    Suggestions! I had great coverage for about 20+years...then about 3 years ago, while on TMobile...almost no coverage at my house...we switched to Verizon, even purchased a cell enhancer...horrible coverage. I need to find a provider that has coverage at my house. How do I do that...any suggestions?

    Most providers have some sort of coverage map tools that allows zooming in on the area in question. Having personal experience only with T-Mobile & AT&T tools I have to say that while T-Mobile appears to be pretty honest, AT&T's one is hugely optimistic, so take whatever results you see with a serious grain of salt.

    True, but the AT&T map does show very good coverage for the town (Sandy, UT). The OP says TMO used to get great coverage, but does not, anymore. It could be that TMO used to roam on AT&T, but stopped (maybe because they now have their own coverage nearby, but still not close enough for the OP).

    Since Verizon and TMO are out, the next logical provider to check is AT&T, anyway.

    I would talk to Verizon or AT&T about an Internet microcell. Different than a cell enhancer.

    What cell enhancer did you purchase ? You need to make sure the outside antenna is mounted where you get the best available donor signal .
