Somebody touches my gear and I find out, they are going to find a lock
on their access or even multiple locks after I talk to a supervisor and
don't hear a million apologies and some kind of compensation...

Big Red just installed these on the same tower we're on in 2016.
Certainly more than 1 cable going up.
They blocked LOS to our Omni + moved our PTP radios. Large shelter
at the bottom also.

Yes when talking to other Verizon users, it sounds excellent!!
Can't wait for them to finish interoperability testing with the
other 3 carriers so HD calls pass to all the major cell networks
instead of just Verizon. They are doing a little testing with AT&T
but it's not launched yet.
I'm hoping they introduce some VoLTE flip phones soon as well for
the old folks like my Grandpa who refuses to go to a smartphone as
it's too difficult for him.
Verizon has been adding tons of new macros all over the US filling
in coverage gaps and adding capacity but they're all LTE-only so
they're not expanding 1X/3G coverage for the last 1-2 years. So
there's places my Grandma with her smartphone has great 4G and
VoLTE coverage due to new macros in dead spots being filled in but
my Grandpa on his 1X basic flip phone has no service. So they need
to get some updated basic phones out so people can take advantage
of the new 4G-only coverage Verizon has been adding over the last
1-2 years and moving forward.
I've seen Verizon build at least 12 new macro sites in the last
year and at least 8 of them are in current dead or poor coverage
locations. All 4G-only sites with one power/fiber hybrid cable
going to the top and then RRU's on top. It's amazing how clean
these new sites look with only one cable going up instead of 12-16
thick cables as in the past.
For new builds in 2016, I've also seen them stop using the big
shelters and moving to all outdoor cabinets with a generator on
top of a diesel tank. They must save $50k per site almost to get
rid of the big shelters they used to always use.
