None of the carriers are going to put up "lots" of cell towers in sparsely populated rural areas -- there are not enough subscribers to get the revenue from to pay either the capitial cost or the maintaince costs. Business finance 101. Tree foliage atenuates cell signals (block, scatter, etc.). 5Ghz (5G "ultawideband") has 1/2 the range of 4G and is more atenuated by tree foliage. This means you can basically forget about 5G ultawideband in sparsely towered places. Oh, and cell signals don't go through granite (eg mountains). You can expect poor cell service in "deep" valleys or the "wrong" side of hills and ridges. Hills + forests are *bad* for cell coverage and 5G is worse than 4G. EM wave physics 101. The coverage maps are probably not going to be very detailed (not high res) and probably don't show all of the nooks and crannies where coverage is lacking or poor.

Also, apparently none of them are broadcasting high-band out here. From the article: "In the Bay State, AT&T still reigns supreme with its 5G network, offering 28.1% coverage, followed very closely by T-Mobile, though, who?as the nationwide 5G leader?still puts up a respectable 24% coverage in Massachusetts. Both carriers employ low-band 5G technology, which allows them to reach a wider area with their networks?but at the detriment of their speeds. Low-band 5G is just slightly faster than 4G LTE. Verizon is the only carrier currently using exclusively high-band 5G, which reflects what many consider to be "true" 5G speeds and connectivity. But while high-band may be fastest, its frequencies are also the shortest and can't penetrate through walls, leading to severe coverage limitations. The nation's 4G LTE leader puts up the worst showing with its 5G network, offering just 0.01% coverage in Massachusetts with a single outdoor hotspot located in Boston."

Nothing changed with their quality, which was very poor and I don't recommend them. The stretch of 91 in the area is solid, but travel too far into the hilltowns and you're out of luck. Vermont was practically a no-go in most areas. Connecticut was fine all the way down to New Haven. Boston was fine. Phones I experienced this on: iPhoneX, Samsung S3, Pixel 5a, MotoG5 plus. I have since switched to Consumer Cellular, which leases from AT&T. There are some questionable spots here and there, but they're truly only noticable about 1% of the time, and the call quality in more rural regions is perfect so far. I was on the Appalacian in the Great Barrington region and had no trouble down in the trees. This experience was entirely with the Moto and Pixel phones. Hope that helps.

High Band probably only really viable in urban areas, where many antennas are cost effective given a *dense* population. I expect that the coverage that 5G AT&T and T-Mobile mostly includes the larger urban areas, and probably the fairly densely populated Pioneer Valley and the main highway corridors (I90/Mass Pike and Rt2).

You can buy flip-phones (both brands, and others) at Walmart, and probably at similar stores like Target, etc. Search for "no contract flip phone" on walmart.com Basic phones $20-25; 1-yr service with 400 minutes (usually doubled to 800) is $99. - Jeremy p.s.

URL: From debchandler411 at gmail.com Wed Oct 19 21:21:16 2022 From: debchandler411 at gmail.com (Deborah Chandler) Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 17:21:16 -0400 Subject: [Hidden-tech] AT&T vs Verizon vs T-Mobile In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Mik and all, First, please read this and see if you feel that WhistleOut is truly unbiased: https://www.whistleout.com/Service-Promise Secondly, the coverage maps are hugely inaccurate. Big Telecom lies about everything they do. If you choose a plan with a place like Red Pocket, you can change carriers if one doesn't work out. Thirdly, as someone who has EMF sensitivity from exposure to all the wireless tech they have us marinating in, I request that as much as possible, we go back to reliance on WIRED products and spend less time using a cellphone or other wireless tech. I know some people travel for their work, and need to use a cellphone or laptop on the road, but please remember back in the day, we did not have all this wireless tech. We waited until we were back home or at the office. Are we really more advanced, using wireless when it is NOT even secure, it is slower than wired tech, it takes TEN TIMES the energy of wired devices (yes, it's true), in a time when the media screams about how we must take climate change seriously? And as of January they are banning the sale of incandescent lightbulbs allegedly due to their energy consumption; I have them stockpiled now, I cannot use LED bulbs. And then there's my friend who died twice on the way to the hospital in June after being hit head on by a truck whose driver admitted he was texting and driving. She was very seriously hurt, but thank God is recovering and will be okay. Do we *really* need cell coverage EVERYWHERE we go? Or has Big Telecom brainwashed us into thinking we do? The number of people developing EMF sensitivity is skyrocketing daily. One day you're fine, next day you're no longer able to tolerate being near a cellphone or wireless router. I can no longer make one trip to a big box store without getting sick. I have to rush the trip, getting out as quickly as possible. And I can do very little of my beloved graphic design. You can find lots and lots of information on this topic at https://www.ma4safetech.org, MA for Safe Technology. We just had our monthly Zoom meeting today at noon. Sorry if this was not welcomed information. But cognitive dissonance be damned. There is really never a good time to bring it up. It must be interjected. To those who have endured, thanks for listening. Feel free to write me, I can tell you about recently testifying at the NH statehouse and how the Big Telecom attempted to send in their Good Squad of lobbyists pretending to be there for personal reasons, until my colleague ratted them out. I was elated at her testicular fortitude.

Verizon knew that there is bad service here and gave me a device to attach to my cable modem. That works great, but I'm not happy basically subsidizing Verizon by providing my own internet for their device. And of course, I'm not happy with poor service more than 100 feet from my home. I'd love to know who to formally contact to put pressure on Verizon to extend service in my area. -dave *Dave Ruderman (he/him)* On Wed, Oct 19, 2022 at 4:52 PM Wendy Foxmyn via Hidden-discuss < hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net> wrote: > RE: Verizon > > Had great cell service with Verizon last eight years.

Over the years, I've found that even my intermediate Google Sheets skills are sufficient to make a good app, with or without starting from a free or really cheap Sheets or Excel template. Just a thought. Conditional formatting and data filters can be incredibly helpful in any Sheets use, and contextual help these days usually illustrates my quip, "We all know everything; it's just a question of how many search clicks." Broadening the topic, at my firm for ~2 years now I've been structuring all folders/files such that even fairly complex procedures are guided right at the site of action, so that a good general tech user needs minimal training nor the need to click off to a separate instruction doc. Lots of labor up front, but medium- and long-term cost savings for sure, sometimes short-term as well.

And if they expect *everyone* will go out and trade in their 4G phones for 5G phones. Afterall the providers are providing all sorts of "deals" for brand new 5G phones, so presumably *everyone* is trading up and who cares about the hicks and hayseeds who are keeping their old 4G phones. Never mind that the 5G high-band antennas have 1/2 the range of the 4G antennas, since being twice as fast makes up for that, right?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <03fb3b18-30c0-c5d9-7823-63177484d124@montaguewebworks.com> The question of whether we need wireless *everywhere* is valid, but, can also be aligned with do we really need cars or electric lights and refrigerators, a question that was very much on the minds of every American about 100 years ago. If we didn't have wireless service and decent Internet out here, probably 10% - 20% of the population would move to where there is. I know I couldn't operate my business without it. It would be great if these advances didn't slowly kill us, but they do. I would imagine that one day a serious study will be taken seriously by all nations of the world, especially China, to employ better screening / protection from EMF, because it's only going to get worse with solar power and electric cars deployed everywhere, gliding along under G6 skies. Maybe tin foil hats will become the norm.

There are several reasons to use these services: 1) They will still work if the electricity, internet or cell service goes out. (whereas wireless, Fios, DSL and coax cable-reliant services will go out) 2) As folks have shared about spotty wireless coverage lately, the copper-wired service will not drop due to spotty coverage 3) They are much more secure than wireless 4) They are 100% safe for your health. There are no EMFs/wireless radiation. 5) Call quality, crispness of sound is very good (with rare exceptions) 6) Wireless communication uses ten times the energy of hard-wired solutions Sure, some newer buildings do not have the copper-wired infrastructure, and I don't know if it can be added. And yes, Verizon and other providers are charging way too much money for these copper-wired services, and discouraging their use. A bundle of unlimited calls, voicemail, caller ID, last I checked is over $100/mo where I live. I have basic Verizon landline phone service, which only includes calls to the contingent towns, and then I have a third party provider for long distance, and pay-per-call, no monthly fees. I got an answering machine for voicemails.

Message-ID: <20221024195602.E33CA2236FB@sharky4.deepsoft.com> Actually, copper land-lines *might not* work during power failures at some future time: the copper system depends on backup batteries located in rural concentrators and *Verizon* probably won't be replacing those batteries when then "die" (they are lead-acid batteries good for about 5 years). A lot of the copper system depends on older tech, some of which is no longer made (and Verizon would really, really, want to permanently retire it). It is expected that once fiber-to-the-premisis becomes ubiquitious, that Verizon may petition the state to be "let off the hook" as the Commonwealth's ILEC carrier. Verizon is *already* very *lax* about maintaining the copper, this is despite the state regulatory agency leving fines -- it is actually *cheaper* for Verizon to just pay the fines than fix the copper -- the Commonwealth of Mass has no real authority over Verizon. Verizon's corporate *policy* is to not string new copper. They will splice forever and given enough people moving to fiber or cable VOIP, will re-use the newly freed up copper pairs for the few remaining copper customers, but this is a losing situation. All of the recently built town-owned fiber-to-the-premisis system are equiped with backup generators. This means that the fiber itself will survive the power outage (the internet won't go down when the power fails).

First, I am curious the source of that data. I don't question YOU personally, I just seriously question the propaganda Verizon spews at every turn. Secondly, I cannot readily compare/contrast the state of the copper-wired phone service infrastructure state-to-state, but I do know there is very good reason why Cece Doucette, founder of the MA for Safe Tech group, (see www.ma4safetech.org) of which I am a part, has finally given up trying to submit bills to our legislators on Beacon Hill, after her ten year Herculean efforts to do so, and instead has been working with the legislators in New Hampshire and shows up at their hearings and promotes EMF safety up there. NH leads the nation in creating a state-level commission who last year published the *Final Report of the Commission to Study The Environmental and Health Effects of Evolving 5G Technology* (HB 522, Chapter 260, Laws of 2019, RSA 12-K:12?14. You can see all 390 pages of the report here: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/statstudcomm/committees/1474/reports/5G%20final%20report.pdf (The first 17 pages cover the key facts) The committee proposed a bill, HR 1644, (see https://legiscan.com/NH/text/HB1644/id/2462354) pertaining to cell tower setback requirements, which has expired and a revised one will be proposed early next year. This is a big reason why I am focused on moving up to NH from my native MA, as I see the state of MA just isn't moving the needle on protecting us from these harms. And I am too old to expect this to change in my lifetime. I have testified at all of 3 statehouses, MA, NH and VT about my personal experiences and perspectives. I do my best to show up and do my part. And yes, I am aware that we are seen by some as "tin foil hat wearers". So be it. I know I will be on the right side of history on this one. :-) Best, Deb On Mon, Oct 24, 2022 at 3:56 PM Robert Heller wrote: > Actually, copper land-lines *might not* work during power failures at some > future time: the copper system depends on backup batteries located in rural > concentrators and *Verizon* probably won't be replacing those batteries > when > then "die" (they are lead-acid batteries good for about 5 years).

URL: From heller at deepsoft.com Mon Oct 24 21:03:46 2022 From: heller at deepsoft.com (Robert Heller) Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2022 17:03:46 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Hidden-tech] AT&T vs Verizon vs T-Mobile In-Reply-To: References: ? ? ? ? ? ? <20221024195602.E33CA2236FB@sharky4.deepsoft.com> Message-ID: <20221024210346.0981A2236FB@sharky4.deepsoft.com> I know it took some non-trivial "arm twisting" by the Wendell Selectboard to get Verizon to replace the batteries in their concentrator in Wendell (Verizon would never have replaced them on their own). New Salem's concentrator is *currently* lacking batteries because Verizon said they could not replace them due to lack of replacement parts. This is what I understand Verizon told the New Salem Selectboard. The phone lines in many small rural towns are *notorious* for being unreliable. People would lose phone service merely because it was raining (the cables would fill with water). There was a case where a Shutesbury mother had to pack up both of her kids when one broke his arm and then drive to the center of town to call 911 on her cell phone because her land line was not working. At one point the AG's office issued a long laundry list of problems relating to Verizon's phone system. And yes, the state regulators did issue fines and Verizon just paid them. With most of the small hilltowns now with fiber to the home service I believe Verizon is relieved to not have to deal with the copper system as much. Copper is definately going away (and it looks like it will be gone in some areas very soon): https://duckduckgo.com/?q=verizon+discontinuing+support+of+copper+lines At Mon, 24 Oct 2022 16:22:19 -0400 Deborah Chandler wrote: > > I hear you, Robert. > > First, I am curious the source of that data.
