CORRECTION: Mid September bad signal started... I moved in house mid November...

~

UPDATE: No change in signal bar strength...

Virgin Mobile did a software update June 7, 2015.... Virgin Mobile did credit me another month...

2 repair orders were sent to the Corporate office...

~

Verizon admits tower is bad but says no repairs will be done til enough people are 4g for them to upgrade the tower for it...

My carrier is Virgin Mobile USA.. House owner has Verizon..

ALL CARRIERS are bouncing off this bad tower! Still not resolved!

I still have O bars for signal... Calls are broken up, hang ups, recalls, static, silent like dead line spells, calls never ring and go right to voice mail if you are lucky!

TOWER SIGNAL FACTS:

Mid November 2014 ~ Tower signal caused cell phone bars to drop in halfโ€ฆ

January 17, 2015 ~ (approx 7-8pm) Tower signal caused cell phone bars to drop in half again!

~ My cell phone bars dropped from 2 to 0 bars!

~

NOTES:

~ When you drive outside the signal tower range your signal bars shoot to full strength!

~ Return in to the signal tower range your signal bars immediately drop to 0 or maybe 2 for other cell phone usersโ€ฆ

~ All carriers bouncing off this tower are having severe signal issues! (Virgin Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and other carriers under their mother carriers!)

~ Cell phone acts defective!

~ Computers and laptops have connection, running and signal issues!

~ The tower builder has been called and I was told to call Sprint!

dB Signal - A Basic Guide

โ€ข -50 to -60 (very strong, near a cell tower)

โ€ข -60 to -70 (extremely good, rare)

โ€ข -80 to -85 (normal downtown)

โ€ข -90 to -95 (getting on the weak side)

โ€ข -95 to -98 (weak, dropping calls)

โ€ข -98 to -100 (bad, hard to stay connected)

โ€ข -100+ (basically no usable signal)

NOTE:

~ All the MiFi Jet Pak dBms were 0 to -118! House is 1 mile from signal tower!

~ The MiFi tower signals ranged from 0 to 58% only!

~ Every time I called the carriers and asked what the signal strength was they said good, no problemsโ€ฆ Twice they told me 98% the MiFi showed 56% and -118 dBmsโ€ฆ

~ I have many notes and tower signal & dBms that have been sent to the Sprint engineers and FTC and FCC several times!

~

RESOLUTION ON SIGNAL TOWER REPAIRS:

~ Who do I contact now for help in getting this bad tower fixed?

(Everyone is passing the buck, looking the other way, telling me to file repairs again with carriers)

~

Seeking advice, sites, etcโ€ฆ in getting this issue resolved and repaired!

~

Thank you in advance,

Christie

Call your carriers and complain! Make them "FIX" this signal issue! All carriers bouncing off this tower are effected! Businesses can't conduct business here either!

~ Your cell phones are not defective!

~ Your computers and laptops will have numerous connecting issues, run slow, freeze up, etc... Don't fall for a signal booster at any cost a month especially from Verizon at $100 + taxes monthly!

Reason of review: Damaged or defective.

Monetary Loss: $420.

Preferred solution: Repair universal joint part all carriers use on bad signal tower! Transmitter component, MUX cards, energy connection, ????.

Verizon Pros: I liked til tower signal issue.

Verizon Cons: 9-2014 to now tower issue exists.

Location: Vincentown, New Jersey
