Re: Antenna and Tower Questions
I had known that Millenicom was a distributor of Sprint's service, but was not aware about the details - as far as what towers are used.
Doing an antenna search, there is no Alltel in my area, unless it goes by some unknown name. There are two Sprint antennas in my area, one being 2 miles and the other being 3 miles. I'm actually almost in the middle of those two antennas. Both are not exactly LOS, especially due to elevation. When I signed up with Millenicom, they did an address check and stated that I was in an area for "excellent" coverage, which I understand is based on Sprint's own map. In the house, outside, or even around the neighborhood, signal strength is nowhere near excellent being in the -90s or worse!
I asked this question to get a better understanding of what antennas may be serving me, and how to improve the signal.
Thanks. |
