Hmm. 'kay. I went and found the Verizon coverage map, but they're not
talking about anything save 4g and 5g service.
So I went to something I just barely remembered but I managed to find it
again - a site where they collect coverage information while driving
around. So naturally the coverage info is limited to highways but they
haven't detected any 3g Verizon towers local to me (san francisco bay
area) EXCEPT for one small spot out on Treasure Island - which is
probably coast guard or city government or a marina or something.

It would be pretty remarkable if that's what I'm picking up though
because that's a good eighteen miles from here.
