VZW is not willing to improve their reception
Hello, I live in Palos verdes, California and our area has really bad service with all the carriers except sprint. Sprint isn't reliable all the time but sprint at least guarantees that i will have serive in major roads. Verizon has sooo many dead spots in this area i get partial service in my house. I have called the cs about any new towers or plans in this area and they said they are aware of the problem and will take 2 years to actually build one tower. isnt that just ridiculous? if i go on to our cities website i see sprint's proposal for a new tower trying to be approved but i dont see verizon for months.What can i do in this situation? anyone?

Capacity is the numbers of calls a cell site can take. As more and more people sign up and start using the service, more and more capacity is needed. The same dollars go for both. Verizon has to keep what they already have running smoothly before they can think about expanding. Both are being done, but ...
