I agree with nospam and I _live_ in the Santa Cruz Mountains so I'd know.
I have no reason to shill for any carrier, whether Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mo.

Up here, there isn't even cable so we get even our Wi-Fi from miles away.

While Snit and Jolly Roger don't know the difference between megabits per
second versus decibels, I do, where these are my numbers on T-Mobile.

With my in-home cellular towers and in-home cellular repeater turned off...

My speed is 100 Mbps to 300 Mpbs on T-Mobile in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

My signal Strength is -90 to -100 decibels (RSRP) in the same mountains.

What's important to note is that a lot of my neighbors are on AT&T and
Verizon in addition to T-Mobile where _all_ have in-home cellular towers.

More to the point, we know _exactly_ where the cellular towers are (they
don't hide them you know) where the closest ones are all clustered together.

What sms is claiming doesn't make sense and I _live_ in those SC Mountains. 

How does Verizon "magically" get signal without any nearby towers doing it?
From a satellite?
