Thanks for your response. Yes I can mitigate this with that solution but that is not want Telus needs to do to help its customers. We need a tower in our neighbourhood to get cell service. The service we pay for.

A new tower takes many years. First step is people reporting problems to Telus directly so that they know there is an issue in an area. Sometimes there may be alternate solutions. The more people that complain, either through the link I posted earlier or by calling Telus directly, the more attention that area will get. Then residents will need to get the attention of the City of Edmonton as they will also play a significant part in getting a new tower put in.
Some recommended reading from the Gov't of Canada:
- Facts about towers and the process to get one
- Cell towers in your community: How the decision is made
Tower sharing wouldn't be applicable yet as the closest tower to you already is a shared tower. That shared tower also made a lot of nearby residents mad back when it was installed. A second story about that tower.
