Hi,

I am having reception issues due the buildings, hills, trees, etc around me.

So I would like to know where my nearest tower is so I can re-position my modem so its in the best position to get the best signal.

Do I contact someone or is there a public resource I can access?

rooigevaar, maybe you can assist? :o

Thanks:)

The bright organge splotches are ususally where the BTS are located. You can then go to Streetview on Google Earth to confirm.
 
Download eyburst software - eyeburst.sourceforge.net - it will show you which towers you are connecting to and signal strengths.
