Network Vision/LTE - Jacksonville Market (including Gainesville/St. Augustine/Ocala)

Less towers to upgrade? Jacksonville was upgraded first so that newer equipment or systems may not have been available at the time?  Hesse isn't a Jaguar fan? It could be any number of reasons.

 

 

Why would Ocala have been updated to accommodate eCSFB devices while Jacksonville didn't?

True lol but to Ocala's defense, the first LTE tower came online mid Jan

At my cousins house where there is a very faint 4G signal but my 1x and 3g is connected to another site that has no NV active, so I'm not connecting to 4G at all. Interesting to find what happens once it is upgraded to NV 3G/4G.

Omg! I have to get a tri-band phone immediately.

Kind of interested in seeing what HTC puts out with it's M8 phone.  I was very tempted to get a One a few times but the battery size was the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger.  The LG G2 is one heck of a device.  Loving this thing to death.

I'm sold on the nexus. I'm going to buy a 32 GB back version in December after I buy my kids Christmas toys.

Might want to go for the white if you hope to get it before Christmas lol.  I ordered a Black 16GB N5 on the 9th and it's set to ship on 12/3.

 

Really unfortunate actually... I am going to be extremely distracted by it during the last week to work on my projects lol.

There is no rush as long as it arrive before new years day.

LG has definitely stepped up their game with the G2 and N5. I have never used a better phone than my G2. It is ridiculous how good it is. Beyond all that, the ability to hold onto a signal is more than I ever hoped for. Today I was working at a school where I'd roam on Metro pcs with my Evo. With the G2, I had an LTE signal in the same area.

I wonder if my in home 4g will get any better on my gs3 if they ever finish that tower on Kernan&Beach Blvd. It's been showing in progress for months now....

 

Unfortunately the distance kinda seems the same like the one I get signal frominn my office, by the Window.

Who got to talk to a Ericsson rep for like 30 mins all while getting to see the new base stations and watch them put the panels up via crane? This guy that's who.

he told me it takes them a few hours to do 911 calls and fire up 1x800 and he told me everything for lte 800 is ready to go and sprint just has to flip the switch

I hope that means soon. I can count the number of 800 mhz pins in the state of Florida on one hand so far...

That's a lot of 1x 800 sites.  Hard to believe they are live without one of us stumbling across at least one of them.  I'm going to get much more aggressive in my search for them when I get my Nexus.

I've been stopping in the sprint store at SS & Baymeadows to check the new Tri-bands, not sure if the csfb is a problem around here or not, all four of the new phones are picking up Lte. This is the only store I can find that actually has them activated and I've been to quite a few. I tried turning the data off and then back on, changed them from global to cdma/lte, going from lte to making a phone call & then immediately online. .....Guess what, they all switched, and pretty quickly. I managed to install Speedtest on the G2 & MEGA, both of which had 2 bars, and they avg'd around 4.5dwn & 1.8up but couldn't try the Nexus which did seem to have the strongest signal. I assume they are all working on 1900mhz, idk. I've been going batshit crazy cuz I've waited since Aug 1st to upgrade waiting for these tri-bands but after this whole mess I'm gunshy about pulling the trigger!

Don't be gushy just do it lol.  This issue with CFSB is probably going to be solved very quickly.  In your particular case, we live in Florida where the issue appears to be extremely limited.  

 

Besides you could always return it in 14 days if it was too much of a problem.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
