Verizon Covers MV Dead Spot

by MissionViejoDispatch.com on June 15, 2009

    Verizon cell phone customers are accustomed to dropping their calls along Trabuco from Alicia to Marguerite Parkway.  The dead zone has been frustrating to drivers and residents in the area and to shoppers at the Ralphs Center at Alicia and Trabuco.  There wasn’t much use trying to call home from the center if you forgot your shopping list for Ralphs or CVS Drug Store.

    The zone was especially exasperating because callers could look across Trabuco and see a cell antenna at MacDonalds, disguised as a flag pole (although Mac hasn’t hoisted a flag for months), but it wasn’t Verizon.  There was also an antenna array on the water storage tanks on the hill across Alicia, but again, no Verizon. 

    Verizon is finally in the area, telling the OCR gadgetress they fired up a new antenna on the storage tanks.

This has bugged me for years. It’s about time.

Any plans for Verizon to do anything about the lousy service at Tesoro High School?

Thanks to my neighbors in Deane Homes, we have lousy coverage at La Paz and Chrisanta and the high school…..
Maybe now that they have closed the school they can find a place to hide an antenna at the park next to O’Neill school.
