No Bars in More Places

No Bars in More Places. That's AT&T at Chesapeake Bay Thousand Trails near Urbanna, VA. Being where we stayed during our trip to the Urbanna Oyster Festival, the camp ground was nice but phone service was nil. On the campgrounds pamphlet the have annotated a "phone stump" for those that have AT&T. We were here in 2007 and I saw a lady standing on a tree stump and I looked up at her and said "You must have Cingular" (which it was at the time). She did and it was the only place she could get phone service. It has not changed yet and the stump is wearing away.



I walked around the campgrounds back then and found a couple places where I could get as much as two bars. Turn a degree or two in any direction and you loose it. This time, with AT&T, It was worst. there were no bars at the stump and only once was I luckily enough to get a couple of bars where I'd gotten them before.



This condition was not just there. It was all along Hwy 17 at least from Urbanna to Cloucester. No bars meant no phone contact, no Internet except through the use of WiFi at the adult center. Slow but it worked. No bars means goodbye AT&T. Hello Verizon. Those who had Verizon had no trouble. But we have decided for the present time to have one line on each carrier. I know there are places that Verizon won't have great coverage and a backup would be prudent
