I have no internet in my place of work and they do not provide wifi for our phones just for our computers, I have had enough

@pizzaparty1234  You can't. Tower placement and installation is up to the FCC, not the carriers. It can take years after the petition is presented and agreements have been made with the FCC, the local and regional governments, and the other carriers who offer service in that area. And then contracts have to be agreed upon with the builder of the towers. WiFi has nothing to do really with cellular, unless you have wireless internet. The fact that you can get internet on your computers but not WiFi points to a potential issue with how robust your WiFi is.
