Microcell
We have an AT&T Microcell (also known as a femtocell) at Greenes Bay. It is slick when it works. But, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and frequently, you can hear the caller but they can't hear you. We usually wind up calling back on a landline. We had the same issue trying to use my office Vo...

Down a lot
Unfortunately, we've experienced the same down on Greene's Bay. The service was essentially unusable from 6 to 8:30 and from 9 to 9:30 this morning, down again from noon to almost 3:00 p.m., and very bad from 4:30 to 6:30. It has been choppy since then. I run a program that monitors latency at 15 se...
