“At U.S. Cellular, we focus on providing the best wireless experience for our customers in Aroostook County through a high-quality network with national coverage along with the latest 4G LTE devices,” said Kasper. “We care about our local communities, and we will continue to invest in our network so your phone works whether you are in your backyard or across the country.”

To select locations for new cell sites, U.S. Cellular has teams of system performance engineers who drive through the company’s network coverage area, sometimes hundreds of miles a day, to test the signal strength and call quality.
