Layin down sensorly

 

 

Edit* couldn't tell where its coming from lost just north of green cove its gor to be north of 209.. on a run to orlando or I would investigate more

 

The signal could be coming from the tower on 209 by the shriners building.

Looking at the sensorly map the signal will be coming from the tower that's near the race Trac gas station on the corner of us 17 and cr209. The tower its on looks like some kind of broadcasting antenna or something.

Maybe the other 2 that we know of will come online soon. I've been keeping my eyes on all the Sprint towers I see. I enjoyed my 4g experience while it lasted used almost 200mb doing speedtest

Wait, so there's 4 towers known? Are you also including the Baymeadows one?

I caught 4g in a new area. I'll update with info in a minute.

 

EDIT: I mapped more of the LTE tower on Russel Road. Also found a weak LTE signal on the Eastern side of Shands Bridge! I did not have Sensorly open yet and I lost signal after about 10 seconds! I'll try to map it if I go by there again.

I hope not, I'm in the Riverside area. Haven't seen anything yet.

 

Well seems as if the back haul is ready faster at sites outside the city or maybe they are working from the outside in to the city like they did with the Chicago market.

Nope.. no Lte at the moment at that location. I rebooted both my devices and airplane cycled just to be sure , while getting gas at the Gate gas station looking directly at the tower. I also looked into the Open signal app and it did not show me being connected to that tower it showed a tower just a mile or so north off of interstate 95 ... I'm gonna swing by later and actually check the tower and equipment out, shuold be easy enough to see the Sprint lock on it and got a pair of field glasses to check out the rest.

Note that CDMA towers give off the wrong coordinates in OpenSignalMaps. It's known that it's very difficult to discover which tower you're actually connected to.

The bogus sites mapped in OpenSignal maps have nothing to do with the coordinates squawked by the CDMA towers, which is a different issue entirely, evident in different apps altogether. OpenSignal purports to compute the tower sites itself from crowdsourced signal-strength data, and the results are pretty useless.

I learned this the hard way. I drove to the "imaginary" tower in my area only to find nothing there. LoL!

I work in the Bayard area (95 and Old St Augustine Rd near the hospital) and am eagerly awaiting LTE. Should I be worried that I am not seeing eHRPD yet?

 

Sadly, my EVO had solid Wimax when I worked in Riverside but I was faced with paying to repair it or being an early adopter of LTE and chose the Galaxy lll. Best phone I have ever owned but 3G is brutal:blink:

I get ehrpd along i95 there. Are you in lte/CDMA mode? Its possible that they turned it off temporarily.

    • 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?
