I know that would changes in service would concern me just the same and we're definitely here to help out. Taking a quick look at the location as a whole, you would be near some extended networks and even no services locations. Based on this, dropped calls could be more frequent as well as latency with data connectivity. Also, if accurate to your location, 7 miles can definitely have an impact on service as is, but can be even more challenging as more users would be connected to the site as this will decrease the distance the signal would be able to travel. Have you called in about this issue previously? Are you aware if a ticket was ever filed for the concerns at the trouble address? Any difference in reception when indoors or outdoors?
