I went by the site that was getting worked on last week here's some pics and I speedtest that I did when I was there. I cycled airplane mode on my EVO 4g LTE and didn't even get a hit on my LTE record.

exact same results as my completed tower near me. Lol the ping was high and no lte. I think they are blocking it. Time will tell.

Jacksonville is now showing as an official Spark market!   (Not that anyone needed to tell you that Band 41 was around )

Just tried out T-Mobile for laughs (Test Drive, which is a kind of cool attraction.)  Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that Sprint is better here, coverage-wise.  I'd rather have a reliable method

I'm safe. Sprint holding up well. 4.5 million without power. The eye of the storm coming straight for Marion county with 100mph winds. I hope I have a home to go to when this is over.

What I don't understand is that they could've installed back haul at many other sites in the meantime so sites wouldn't need to have back haul installed later

 

I thought about this too awhile back, but I think at the time Sprint may have been a little more cash prohibitive and didnt want to foot the bill for hundreds of sites thru Florida that were not going to make use of them until Oct-Nov

I have said this before but I have a feeling when Florida starts its gonna roll.. I'm not sure about the Jacksonville area, but I know that here in Pinellas county because it is so densely packed towers are close to each other in a lot of cases less than 3 miles.. I can see two companies tower crews getting 8 to 12 sites done a day..

 

I think some of the markets that have had the best deployments are areas that are tightly packed.. Doesn't have to be a major city, just dense.

I'll be so thrilled when that happens. A few months ago I swear I was the only one on my tower (pulling 2.7mbps) but I can tell people are joining sprint near me because my speeds are slowing down (1.8 mbps is around the avg). It's still awesome 3g but I am curious when 4G will rollout near me. <br /><br />Anyways, I'd like to get your views on this. My dad works over on old st Augustine road off the i95 exit and he's constantly sending me triple texts of the same thing. I've read that this is a side effect of network vision being in progress. Your thoughts?

 

Also, my eHRPD just went offline, no matter how hard I try, I cannot get connected to it so they might have just started on my tower near my house!

Heck dude, I have been getting and sending double texts for years with Sprint. It actually cost me a relationship a whil;e back because the girl I was talking to got the same text I had sent the the night before, but this time we weren't talking. She thought I was being shady and accidently sent it to her. Earlier this year my current GF got a text from me after my phone rebooted it was from weeks before..bad deal..

 

If you look at the maps I bet that Orlando site that went live is bumping with LTE in that area..there is like 11 sites in that general area..Wish we had someone over there..

Backhaul installation continued even though NV crews were pulled off. Backhaul is ahead of NV deployment pretty good. Most of the schedule hangups in Florida right now by Ericsson are equipment related, according to my sources there. But things are starting to get moving again. Florida will soon be moving as fast as the crews can work.

This has potential... Just rolled by my lunch site and there is a Verizon van parked in front of it.. Backhaul? I'm gonna ask him worse that could happen is him punching me in the face and saying you must be from that S4GRU website.. Guy could be taking lunch too >_>

Maybe Robert can chime in on this but if these sites are compete. Why aren't we getting enhanced 3G or atleast a hit on our LTE records. I have an EVO 4G LTE so I know to cycle airplane mode and still ended up with nothing.

I cannot say with certainty that these are NV complete sites. Even if there are NV complete panels, it does not mean the work has been completed with setup at the base cabinets. Also, there could be an issue with the backhaul. No matter what, I can say that Sprint has not accepted any sites in the Jacksonville market. And it may be because Ericsson doesn't have any ready for inspection. Also, even if they did accept some sites this week, they won't show up until Sunday/Monday next week on our maps.

Nothing in Jax, yet. Sensorly is logging much more Orlando LTE signals. :(

Found a permit pulled for "219 SE Broadway St, Ocala for sprint/add antennas & equipment valued at 42,000.00". So it seems there first ocala site will be downtown. The permit statest a company named "NEW TECH CONSTRUCTION CORP" 240 RICH STREET VENICE FL IS DOING THE INSTALL!!!! Based off this being the only permit pulled so far and it taking approx a month to get a permit approved there is no possible way that the Ocala market will be active before March. There where no permits pulled out side of the incorporated city limits of Ocala i.e. Marion county. So Im not 100 % sure why sprint added Ocala to the 100 markets coming soon.?!?!?!?

Marion County may not require a permit for switching our equipment for an existing facility. It varies by jurisdiction.

No LTE at the tower. I did a speedtest and got 1x speeds again. It's been this way since Oct 26th (probably a little sooner, this is the day I first checked it out.)

 

The antennas are definitely installed, they must be installing the backhaul to it.

 

P.S. Don't be fooled by my phone's status bar. I'm using the GS3 with a Sense theme. lol

lolol, I've heard EVO LTE connectivity issues, which is why I pointed that out.

 

P.S. I also went to CDMA only mode, and back to CDMA/LTE and still no 4G signal. Just to clarify.

 

That's the same thing that happens to me when I visit the tower off of I95 and Busch drive. Except my phone doesn't go to 1x. I have an EVO LTE I thought it was my phone at one point.

Not a single update, yet?!!!?! :'( We gotta have at least 1 active LTE tower sometime soon.

 

You will get your wish this week. Stay tuned.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
