I wonder if iden use to be on that tower because Verizon and T-Mobile are the only 2 on that tower right now. Sprint and clearwire have never been on that tower.

 

Nope.  It's always been only T-Moble and Verizon.   Nextel/IDEN is easy to find locations doing an FCC license/tower search as each area was specifically licensed vs the general regional licenses they have now.   Nextel/Sprint was only at Parkridge & Sleepy Hollow near here.    Unless someone pulled the permit in Sprints name on accident, I'm really hoping they do put some gear at that location.  The location on Blanding next to Bowl America also shows a Sprint permit.

 

Here is a drawing I just put togeher real quick from my house off Pawnee St.

Yeah its weird..... and the permit was pulled over a year ago. I havent seen any signs of another carrier moving in on that tower. It would even be nice if they just put B41 there.

 

I know about the tower on Blanding at the bowl America. I have got some of the fastest speeds on that tower.

Very nice.   I was thinking that signal was coming from the other tower on Kingsley as the Sprint NV site didn't show any towers next to Blanding for that area.  I need to snap some photos of that tower now.

Spence will be happy to know that band 26 has made its way to the quiet town of belleview! I am impressed by the coverage too. My T-Mobile signal is very bad here and Verizon is good but not as good. b76f3b72e8958e063bba75a78d1dee20.jpg4869d39e36532b1aded03df25ce0b9f4.jpg

Yes to both of those!!!! I may finally be able to connect to the outside world when I visit my parents.

 

And get some good chicken...

Awesome. Cool to see the B26 in Belleview since that's where I live. I think they just added that because our tower was down for a day and a half about two weekends ago. It's definitely getting better in Bview lately. My SIII actually picked up 26Mbps DL last week on B25 alone over there.

 

Oh yeah I've been waiting on that Zaxby's to open for a while. Grand opening is next week. Will be nice not to have to go all the way out to I75 to get some kickass chicken :)

 

Also... I can't seem to quote any messages on this site. Are there any known issues with IE11? That's what all our work comps run.

I may now have a reason to go back to Belleview. Yummy fried chicken. I lived in Belleview in 1987. Longest year of my life. It would have been much more enjoyable if they had more than Kentucky Fried Chicken back then. I suppose they also had mediocre chicken under the heat lamps of the Handy Way convenience store. Oh, memories.

That site was new several years ago.  There is no error.  The downtown St. Augustine site was accepted in the last update.  I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from.

Anyone here having problems with data today? My data has been cutting out all day until I cycle airplane mode. Even this morning my SCP would showed I'm connected to LTE but the symbol never pops up and my notification bar shows no internet connection.

A lot of them are. I have my finance's S5 Sport on band 25 and my nexus 5 on band 26 and there is on average a 8-10dbm difference. I have yet to go back to 3g on the way to universal. Which I will report progress there too.

Looking optimized?

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
