Anyone know of any reason why the cell coverage for multiple carriers in BH seems to either be down or poor? Once I get outside all is fine.
Is it feasible that Fiserv may be using a cellular interference tool in the building?
I have verified this over multiple devices either mine or others.
I sit at a window in the Alpharetta location and have no service. I've tried other exterior offices and even the Exchange rooms - nothing. I literally have to go OUTSIDE to make a call.
hope you're connecting to a VPN after the guest wifi... otherwise they're watching your traffic there as well.
It’s def sus AF because Alpharetta is in the old Cingular building and AT&T still has a data warehouse or some sh*t across from one of the buildings. I have AT&T and service su-ks inside.

You can eat my personal device
I never use my cell coverage. I use Fiserv Guest wifi.
Could be it sits on top of a former hazardous waste site, radiation could be impacting the signal.
Because the company already unabashedly spies on you and your work computer. I wouldn't be surprised if they activate the mic or cam on your machine from time to time, just to make sure they're getting what they pay for. Legally, they can do that. Legally they can do that on the guest wifi too, that being said, i have no desire to give them permission to spy on my personal equipment that I pay for.
Why not use the company wifi
I brought this very issue up a few months ago and got ratio'd since it wasn't layoff related.
I've tried two premium brand 5g phones in Marietta, Alpharetta, and Coral Springs from two carriers, Verizon and T-Mobile. I can sometimes get a 1 bar 4g signal, but rarely. As soon as I step out of the door, I get 4-5 bars of 5g or 5gUW indicating a high likelihood of low-e windows or window coverings since the doors at all three facilities I've directly seen this problem at had typical metal frame doors with glass panels. Furthermore, by shoving so many into an office, even low-effective signal blocking gets a boost in effectiveness because so many people are trying to get a signal through that blocking.
To those saying it's illegal to block a signal, that's only true with active jamming. Passive blocking using low-e windows and paint or wallpaper with metal fragments is NOT illegal or at least a gray area with the FCC. Given so many people in most of the offices (especially COE facilities) have this problem, it's not unreasonable to think a little extra was thrown in the buildout budgets to facilitate this.

In the last 10-15 years, I've worked at two companies that had this "problem" both had leadership very vocal in their belief that people were just sitting at their desk playing candy crush all day... Frankie boi and his goons are that second company/leadership team.
And to @wkl+1qwtaGPa You can blow it out your rear, trolling or not, this is a safety issue. Some of us have illnesses that require access to emergency services, or family at home that have illnesses and would need to contact us while at work. Grow up.
It would be very illegal , but heck with the sr leaders in this place nothing would surprise me
Started noticing this in Alpharetta when the RTO nightmare kicked up a notch. I was going in early and noticed I didn’t have any problems until after 9 AM, when the building started filling up. It’s probably more of a function of having too many people in the building, using the same cell towers, but I’m no expert in how that works.
Report it to the FCC. Jammers are illegal.
Omaha too

The policy is "bring your own device"...nobody said anything about them working!
That would be highly illegal, especially if we need emergency services. Especially since they don’t have any desk phones either.
full 5g signal on the 4th floor east side. I use Google fi as my carrier, which is subsidized spectrum space from tmobile.
I wouldn’t put it past them and their torture tactics…
Same problem
Coral Springs is the same and I’m by the window
