Past decisions were made with the best information, at the time. In addition, the town was looking to locate towers so that the town-all taxpayers-would benefit from revenues as opposed to a few private individuals. Image that without any effort to manage, towers go up all over town including your abutters backyard…not a pretty picture.
Many areas around us are famous for spotty coverage-Concord, parts of 117 in Weston and Waltham….. As for good service on Conant Rd. near the Weston line, Verizon Fiber Optic has been fantastic for us. We also maintain a landline for safety reasons, and use AT&T for (excellent) cell coverage.
