I live in Cardiff, a small residential community just outside of St. Albert/Edmonton Alberta, and have never gotten better than two bars of LTE in home, and lately I've been down to three bars of 3G. What is the problem?
I have an iPhone 5s, and I fairly routinely have to do a "soft reset" (press and hold the home and unlock buttons until the start up screen appears) so while it could be the device, I have my doubts. I kind a hope that it isn't because I really don't...
The poor coverage doesn't get any better outdoors, and has caused dropped calls and slow to nonexistent web browsing. Here is a link to a screen grab of a speed test that I just did: http://imgur.com/tpJK2O4
