I wanted to see if clear 4G made it to my house. But what I'm seeing does not make a lick of sense. Found this with a couple different area's and I'd like to know whose smoking what?

First the GPS they use is wrong. My house is shown about a qaurter mile west of where it should be, local business' show up in the road etc....Not clears fault. But what the heck?

The real problem I see and my example is as follows. I put a local zip in 64056. Then I look at the availability maps dark green/light green bands. South and east from the pin is a big gray area that is lake city, to the west truman rd travels to highway 78. In between those 2 areas there are no cell towers, no repeaters nothing but power lines and a small groupings of houses.
Now if you look closer to highway 78 and truman there is a large area of green/light green. The area that is the best reception is a huge cornfield and like I said the closes tower is a half mile away on the other side of the area that has no green. The tower is on a small rise and the rest of the area is flat. There are no buildings to really block the signal or any other obstacles. It makes abslutely no sense at all.
Does anyone have an email addie to contact clear?

I will eventually get a 4G device, I'm looking at the epic when it comes out. But until I get that I can't really test out the accuracy of the map but just eyeballing it I can't see how it even comes close to being accurate.
