If I may ask you to elaborate in laymans terms...................
1) If I were getting overpowered, wouldn't I have been getting overpowered 6 months ago, a year ago? Perhaps I'm not getting it, but as I stated earlier, nothing has changed here other than the service has all of a sudden deteriorated within the past 60 days. I am using the same phone I was using a year ago. (my wife the same phone as a year and a half ago)
2) As far as umbrella effect, same question. Is there a reason I might have it now, when my service has always worked very well at home in the past (7 years)?
Remember, I am NOT a cell tech, I just work at many different sites and interact with tech's-mostly from VZW and ATT.
Possibly they have re-aligned or moved the some of the antenna(s)? I know around here they are changing to remote radio heads where the transceivers are actually up on the tower rather than on the ground-it save's them from running 9 of the large coax's up the tower (3 per 120* phase). This save's weight and wind loading on the tower and probably other advantages that I dont know about. Only one hybrid copper (for power) and FO cable is needed for each phase. All this is for their 4G upgrade as mentioned above.
