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.

Oh Boy !!!! Maybe that's why I have not seen anything maybe it's all done , must have been santa's little helpers...

 

I doubt they finished all the sites but I have a feeling they have quite a bit done though. Maybe 20%

Just something to do while we wait on a few sites to come online. Jacksonville is a hard city to cover but the coverage is going to be great once CDMA800 comes online.

Why do all you Jacksonville residents think it is so hard to cover the city with 1900mhz? You have any idea how much rural coverage sprint has using that same freq? You guys aren't that special. Mama lied... lol

Refresh my ailing memory... what was the timeframe when Jacksonville was supposed to start turning on the LTE locations?

It was supposed to be November, but the Ospreys delayed deployment until October. So we're a little behind. Jax is schedule to launch by December. But we'll see.

Hi I'm in Jacksonville also we've been keeping a watch on this site. Robert said that Jacksonville has an update coming this week. We keep all the Jacksonville market discussions in the Jacksonville market thread.

Well, I left for a total of 2 days and came back after the carrier I went to wouldn't penetrate the buildings where I needed my phone to work. After reading the forums and seeing exactly what sprint is planning to do I'm not going anywhere because sprint has big plans for the future and for the price you can't beat it.

See anything? I see a problem its a huge nest on the tower and birds living there. Sprint said this was a problem to rolling out to some markets. I love animals but it needs to move there are plenty of trees in this town but it had to choose a tower lol. This is the tower near College of Central Florida in Ocala, Florida right by I-75. Also it does have a eHRPD signal since around October 5 but that's the whole city.

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

We need a different picture - it's too hard to tell. The Sprint panel will have RRUs sticking out of the back of the panel. This means you'll see boxes on the backside of it.

Hi I guess this thread is the closest to the panhandle there is?

 

 

There will be a Panhandle thread as soon as someone creates one to talk about The Panhandle market. Which covers the Lake City to Tallahassee corridor.

Oh OK.... I meant Tallahassee and west I travel from Pensacola to Jacksonville and sometimes down to Orlando...

 

I don't know too much about forums and such just happened across this site!!

 

 

Panama City westward to the Louisiana state line is the Gulf Coast market. Including Pensacola, Mobile and Biloxi/Gulfport.

None of the sites that I've identified are not active. They aren't even blocking connections or sending out enhanced 3g signals but I went back by the Busch Dr tower because I was at the sams club cycled airplane mode and still nothing. Maybe they are waiting to turn on all the completed sites all at once and not one by one like some of the other markets.

      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.

      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....
