Too bad AT&T didn't keep/improve their "Mark The Spot" app.

“The Internet wasn’t meant to be metered in bits and bytes, so it’s insane that wireless companies are still making you buy it this way. The rate plan is dead — it’s a fossil from a time when wireless was metered by every call or text.” John Legere 1/5/2017

Mark the Spot was great, especially when you received a follow-up from your feedback. I saw a tower go up a few years after reporting a bad area several times. Sprint had a similar tool for awhile.

I’m really impressed with how dramatically AT&T has improved their network. It’s so reliable nowadays! The only reason I keep my phone on Verizon is that it’s faster in most of my local area.
I can't remember a single time I received any feedback from a Mark the Spot report, I always figured they were completely ignored and went straight into that great circular file in the ether.
I don't know if I would consider a tower going up "a few years after reporting a bad area" would be considered a direct response correlation, but hey, if they added a site to fill in a gap, that's fantastic, enjoy it.
Verizon's network is very dense, I would say the most dense of any carrier, but I make that statement from what I have seen them do where they have service around here. And their LTEiRA partner Pioneer Cellular has a site pretty much every 7 miles, both along highways and in the middle of pastures, a well-situated grid, which is great density as well. This bodes well for decent C-Band coverage if Verizon ever deploys it here. The fact that Verizon has deployed C-Band into a couple of tiny towns of 1-200 people down in the Market PEA where they are allowed to use it bodes well for their future willingness to use that spectrum everywhere.
