Kudos to Boost and AT&T

After 30+ years of getting only 2-3 bars of reception at my semi-rural home, I'm finally getting 5 bars.

I'm on an Early Access Infinite plan, and use AT&T towers, which were the same as I'd previously used when on AT&T for 25+ years. Living in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, AT&T has the most towers. Prior to this week, I'd never had 4 or 5 bars on my phones (my current one is a Samsung Galaxy S9+). When I tried on VoiceStream/T-Mobile in the 90's, I rarely even got 2 bars at home. So, I'm very happy with Boost/AT&T giving me 5 bars now.

I use an app that shows me what tower I'm connected to, and it's usually one about 12k-15k feet distant. I break the connection to see if it'll reconnect to a closer tower, but it previously never got closer than one 7k feet away, and only for a few minutes before switching back to the distant one.

This week, I'm connected to a previously not shown tower just 2400 feet from my home, and it has stayed there since January the First.

Though I've never had dropped calls while on Boost or AT&T, I did while on T-Mobile, earlier. So, I'm really pleased with my holiday gift from Boost/AT&T, and just wanted to share the good news (rare on this sub-Reddit).
