People complain to much about how they look! I like towers monopoles are the best looking.  There is a tree one two towns over looks nice but its like 100 ft over tree lines so you know what it is lol.  Good find though

The tower by me is a truss-style tower and it was put up just a few years ago..probably the tallest tower in my area cause you can see it towering over everything from 3 to 4 miles away and I can look at it from my bedroom window but is a good 3/4 mile from my home.

The Cactus and flagpole seems to be the best disguise for the cell towers. The others are hit or miss. We have 3 flagpoles around here, all are owned by T-Mobile. Before I got into the cellphone thing I actually believed they were just flagpoles... (I also didn't pay much attention either) They do have the densest coverage here because of their use of those flagpoles, since they had no problem putting them right in neighborhoods.

    • Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.
    • Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
    • Which is not surprising given that Verizon’s entire 5G network consists of only C-band and mmWave in most of their coverage area. I’m more surprised that despite having a 5G network that’s almost entirely made up of only two super fast and super high capacity bands, both T-Mobile and AT&T showed higher average speeds on 5G according to OpenSignal. I would’ve expected Verizon to be a close second to T-Mobile but it was a blowout.
