But how about we pay some attention to an ongoing, chronic problem here in Carpinteria? Namely, our cell phone and internet services. I hear regular complaints and general dissatisfaction with Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile, Cox, Frontier, etc. services, with regular outages and lack of customer responsiveness and transparency. https://www.coastalview.com/opinion/issues-with-cell-and-internet-providers/article_8f178962-39fe-11ed-b616-534f2cc314d7.html
