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

Not here dude band 26 drops off to quickly. I've noticed that T-Mobile band 4 travels further than band 26 in my testing. Sprint needs to optimize this market more.

St Augustine was like that when I went there 2 weeks ago. Tmobile b4 was about the same as Sprint b26. It's not like that in my city or further down south. Jacksonville market feels like it has been abandoned.

Honestly at this point the only reason I'm with Sprint is because I'm on a maxed out Framily with unlimited data. Whenever U-Verse starts offering service in my neighborhood. I'm dumping Sprint and Comcast for AT&T.

Yeah I know it feels good to have such a low rate. Framily could have been a great thing. I think it was ahead of its time.

I'm not the main account holder. I believe Carythelabelguy is.

Wow talk about strange timing. So my home site was the last tower in the entire county to get lte and now its the first tower to get nokia equipment. Seen this happening today. Funny because my tower is the second most congested in the county but damn man finally some capacity relief is on the way. fc03aaf6775a4b0886a22516d020ab21.jpgf24b006f2a635c7282ee052c55c9dbaa.jpg

Many times you been saying Sprint neglecting your state. Its coming. Even in San Diego slowly new B41 sites coming online monthly. It will eventually get done. :D

In florida band 26 is extremely common and in many cases already congested and b41 is surprisingly sparse.

Here where I m from there are huge 3G holes and only one spark tower in town and the rest are dual band 25 /26 I was in Florida not to long ago and coverage was great but speed was the issue

Thats correct its hard to find a tower in florida without b25/26 but very easy to find a tower without b41 thus capacity issues are all over the place. The band 25 spectrum swap will solve a lot of problems when ever it is cleared.

Former Alcatel lucent up here I think Nokia took it over

They did which is why they haven't picked up the pace in the southeast region.

Up here it has stopped and is it possible for a bundled T1 connection to provide a 2 megabit connection to a busy tower on CDMA

Hmm then that GMO near me has fiber

 

Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk

GMO and GMR sites can have fiber. In my city we have 2 GMR sites but I have yet to ever see a GMO anywhere.

    • T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets. The attachment below shows the antennas used: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/ApplicationSearch/applAdmin.jsp;JSESSIONID_APPSEARCH=LxvbnJuvusmIklPhKy6gVK7f9uwylrZ8LiNf3BqIKlDp3_5GxoBr!300973589!225089709?applID=14787154#   Here are the sites for Franklin county OH: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp?applType=search&fileKey=66518254&attachmentKey=21989782&attachmentInd=applAttach
    • Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.
    • T-Mobile UScellular agreement links from SEC filings: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/821130/000110465924065665/tm2415626d2_8k.htm Look inside for main link. Credit mdav-dos1 on reddit
    • Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
