Gore Cell Coverage

Based on the ATT comment, buy one of these and a data plan

Frontier is hitting me for $50/month for phone and $50/month for internet.  Not sure if they would drop me by $50 if I dropped the phone or not.  I doubt I could run the internet off a hot spot with a booster?  Me, Zelda and Neve too. With the DHL if Neve starts streaming it slows us all way down.

Be careful with Frontier. First, they might hit you with a termination fee. Total BS for a landline, but they "waived" it for me as a "courtesy" when I downgraded my phone service. Also, a friend in Newcomb dropped his landline when Verizon cell service came online. His guaranteed $19.99 a month for their crappy DSL internet add-on shot way up, so he dropped that as well.

Is there a way to see what plans verizon has for new towers?

I found this in the APA website:
http://www.apa.ny.gov/_assets/Towers/TelcommDatabase.pdf

That's a list of APA permits for cell towers.  The more recent permits probably haven't been built yet, but it doesn't look like much improvement for North Creek or Gore, at least not for Verizon service. Maybe you can find a list of pending permits.
Bad wireless and cell service at Gore keeps me trapped in the office on a lot of days that I could be out.

You have to watch a cell tower like the one in N.Creek. You may go up there and have 40MBPS on a weekday afternoon this time of year but when everyone is at Gore and using it the data rate can drop like a stone as the tower gets overwhelmed. Where I am a lot of the time I tether off my phone and sometimes the service is fine, some times it crawls.
