Verizon cell service draws Timnath's ire

By Nick Coltrain

Cellular service in Timnath, Colorado - provided by Verizon Wireless in particular - has residents fed up. And the town council has taken notice.

The town is gathering residents' experiences following complaints of dropped calls and poor coverage. As the petition website notes, cell phones have moved from luxury to standard items, making spotty service into a bigger issue than just inconvenience.
