Summary

In late November and early December 2013, Beaver Island forum participants reported that AT&T service had improved after tower work associated with the north end, King’s Highway, and Font Lake. Users described stronger signals and faster service in some areas, including reports of 4G, while others continued to report no service or weak coverage.

Evidence limits

The thread supports a qualified account of perceived service improvement. It does not establish the exact activation date, tower ownership, technical scope, or a complete coverage boundary; one participant explicitly said no complete signal assessment had been done.

The thread begins with a report that the north-end antenna might be turned on, includes a statement that service was stronger and faster over a larger area after towers at King’s Highway and Font Lake were used, and records continuing signal gaps. The discussion is user testimony, not an AT&T engineering or coverage report.
