Goulais (Buttermilk) Site Upgrade Completed 20 Jun 2012

Tbaytel has confirmed that the site upgrade work at Goulais (Buttermilk) is now complete.  New panel style antennas were added and reoriented and a second carrier added. The second carrier will add greater capacity to the site and help reduce congestion.  There is no need to change user handset or data hub equipment to take advantage of the upgrades. 

If you are anywhere in the coverage area shown on the blog of 13 Jun 12, are  using an external antenna aimed at another site such as Bellevue to Heyden and are having  difficulties with speed and connectivity, you may want to swing you  antenna towards the Goulais (Buttermilk). There is no guarantee the service will improve, but I think it is worth a try.

If anyone notices an improvement (or degradation) in service, please let me know either directly at wlefresne@adnetalgoma.ca or by using the comment section.
