The council should take this opportunity to lobby AT&T cell to upgrade our tower to LTE. AT&T were carry calls on Century Links fibre. AT&T cell customers were as inconvenienced as land line customers were. The council could stress that while the customer base that live on Orcas is not large, our tower is servicing the crush of people who visit and all the boaters who are around from June to September. In addition AT&T should give a blanket credit rather than each customer having to call in individually.
