fyi, I was able to hook up and get my old Verizon network extender to work in BTV, so I now have Verizon cell service at our cabin! These were those boxes which worked for awhile, then stopped working after Verizon/Golden State could not agree contractually. But after I heard that Verizon purchased Golden State, I brought it out and set it up, and it worked!
I used Don Parr last year. He and his crew did a great job, and cleaned up the debris. 728-3551. He charged $4000+ which I thought was very reasonable.
We also have Verizon, with Samsung 4g phones, and have had no problem calling out…in the right places. I made calls Sat in Arnold (3g/1x, 3-bar connection) and Sunday on Bigfoot Circle (3g, solid 5-bars!). I get a steady 3g/3-bars near the corner of Ottawa and Natchez. Very spotty elsewhere (that I go in BTV).
HI,
I tried to send a message to your email but it didn’t go.
I have a second Ping pong table, pretty good condition. It is yours if you want it, but you need to pick it up.
Send me an email at Jerrym2834@aol.com to arrange a pickup. Our cabin is on Tahos near Apache.

In the big snow year 2011, I had a pine snap and take out the service drop. PG&E came out and reconnected. Last year I noticed that when the refer would kick on the lights would dim. I called PG&E and a service guy came out (on a Sunday!),checked it, and found that the ground where it comes into the weather head was not properly connected. He fixed it and now everything is fine.
While using his diagnosis equipment, he noticed a voltage discrepancy when a load was applied.
Not to say this is your problem, sounds more like a distribution problem, but this is what happened to me.
Hi there,
For some reason I am unable to see replies. Not seeing them in email either. Please send replies to:

Thanks!
AddyHi,
We have an extra in our basement. You can have it, but we need to determine a way to get it to you.
Our cabin is on Tahos near Apache.

We had several short outages and brown-outs yesterday. I never checked the voltage but I’m sure it was low. Every time I was about to start the generator, the power seemed to be ok. I should have just switched to the generator for a few hours and bypassed all the PG&E headaches!
There have been several occasions when I have trouble in Arnold. It’s “usually” ok but sometimes not. Sometimes my iPhone shows three bars with 3G but as soon as I try to make a call, the signal drops to one bar with 1X (no data with 1X). Frustrating at best. Hopefully this old Golden State cell phone network will end up in Milton and Verizon will upgrade the entire system.
Joe is correct. My Verizon works really good in BTV and most of Dorrington all week but this weekend everyone and their brother is up here so everything is maxed out. Power, Comcast, Verizon, big trees grocery store parking lot…..
We have a 3G phone using the Verizon network. We were up in Arnold Tues-Thurs this past week and had no problems making/taking phone calls.
Thanks for the responses, and I hadn’t heard about the G.S.Cellular-Verizon deal — hopefully that will improve service.
But to be clear, I’m talking about when in Arnold. I never expect coverage in BTV. We’ve used Verizon for years with no problems calling out in Arnold and bear valley. 3G is fine, receiving calls fine, but we can no longer call out. This has been an issue for weeks now and it’s all phones and cell phone makes in our family. I’d appreciate knowing if anyone else is experiencing this new problem.
