Very Cool AT&T Cell Towers

I will accept that as true. But it does not change the fact that I know for a fact that tons of towers are missing off that map. I personally know of 3 towers with in 1 mile of my house that my phone will connect to. Really the closes tower is about 800 meters away.
That chart does not show a single one of those. I am on AT&T.
No Wonder...
LoL...wow, for the longest time, I thought people were just whiny bitches and loved to hear themselves cry and complain. But seeing some other locations' maps, in contrast to mine, definitely shut me up. Apparently AT&T has some big love for my town. No wonder I never experience crappy service.

Lol... wow, really well covered, then again, Orlando is a tourist town, it has to be that way or people would get mad.

Oh to have that level of service! Maybe I need to relocate.
Hmm. That's not what I got on my search. I have 4 towers showing within 5 mile search of my zip code. One of which is less than 1/2 mile from my house. Which is cool, except that in my house I get 2-3 dropped calls (with the ever friendly 'Call Failed message) per day on my 3Gs.....
Again, its important to note that this map only shows AT&T owned towers that have space available for others to use. AT&T also leases space from other providers on their towers, and these are not reflected on the maps (since this isn't the primary reason for this website).

Using the zip code doesn't seem to work right. I was only able to find cell towers by latitude and longitude.
Exactly. And I'll note that if that's the real number of cell sites for AT&T in Orlando, I'd be shocked, they need 2-3X more than that for any sort of decent coverage and capacity.
Here's the AT&T coverage viewer for your perusal...

And keep in mind it only list 20% of AT&T owned towers. This is by no means even close to determining what type of signal you should be getting.
I just did a search for where I am (Corpus Christi, TX) and it came up with several for just here.
weird. I searched using my full address, my zip only, and Texas only and it could find a single tower. Something must have been screwy when i was doing my search.
I live in downtown dallas, and have all those towers around me and most of the time barely get half a megabit....wtf.
Just checked mine and it does not list any within 20 miles.

The AT&T coverage map shows me in the BEST covered area by MILES. I say BS. I've had AT&T for years and I always only get 1 to 2 bars. Phone function verified that. Dropped calls etc but alas I wanted an iphone and left Verizon. Miss Verizons coverage (in my area anyway) but love my iphone (when it works). I'm into blaming AT&T for half my problems with their inflated coverage maps and Apple partially for their antenna. No solution in sight so I will live with it.

Wow. There's a tower about .8 miles from me, right down the street, and I still get a meh signal and crappy a$$ speeds.
