Summary

From November 17 through December 1, 2020, Beaver Island residents compared AT&T and Verizon cellular service. Several reported limited or absent service in particular areas, while some found Verizon more reliable than AT&T.

Evidence limits

These are household observations, useful for documenting lived communications conditions but not for ranking carriers generally or proving island-wide coverage. They do not replace carrier records or a coverage survey.

Residents compared personal AT&T and Verizon experiences, including weak or absent service near Donegal Bay, McCauley’s Point, Eastside Drive below McCauley’s Hill, and the south end. Several favored Verizon, but the reports were location- and device-specific and included no carrier response, signal measurements, outage log, or representative coverage survey.
