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.

I am in LTE/CDMA mode. I cycled airplane mode....no dice. I have been checking for the last 2 weeks and no luck.

I'll check your tower next Monday unless you've already checked it by then. Take pictures if you do and I will if I go. ;)

 

Ehrpd being off means they're probably messing around with the sites in your area. I lose ehrpd sometimes too and I'm in zip code 32259. I don't think they've started work yet at my site.

 

Ehrpd appears to be on in areas, rather than per site.

Even though it's MetroPCS, it brings me comfort knowing that they still work on towers at night. This means I can expect LTE towers to come live at any time of the day! :P

 

I just got info that my local tower is being upgraded with backhaul now and that antenna schedule isn't scheduled yet. I'm going to check it out in the next few days and see if I can see any work.

Dang dude I'm on Brannan field everyday and havent seen any work in the area and you found LTE but I also have an EVO LTE so that may be the reason why. I saw one tower on brannan field near the argyle intersection I couldn't tell if it was a sprint site though it looks more like att

Weird thing is I had LTE for a few 100 yards then it went back to 3g.... I went down that trail ridge road and back to blanding and never got it again... its on sensorly now

 

Maybe it was temporarily on for testing then they shut it off. We'll check it again in the next few days.

I went by that site this morning so they must have been testing. I'll be passing that area again this afternoon and will try again.

Worked this morning when I came through around 6

 

I went in the area again and got nothing. The sprint sites that I saw in the area doesn't seem to have NV upgrades. The only site that I think the signal could be coming from is the sprint flag pole site near the Walmart.

I got it again this morning so I stopped and verified what I posted earlier 4g only runs from trail ridge north to havenwood... so I got a speed test and Started sensorly

 

Checked the flag pole and confirmed there was nothing... went to the tower I saw metro work going on and picked it up again but only within 100yds of the tower....

Im not sure how the testing is done but the area on Sr 23 is cut and dry... once again should be on sensorly shortly

      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....
