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.

The tower on Blanding and old Jennings is already built. It's the flag pole on the corner. BTW clay county has more active towers than any other area in the Jacksonville market. I ditched my WiMAX phone back in May. I don't miss out at all. WiMAX was a big headache and not worth the battery drain. It won't be long before LTE is more wide spread.

Is the tower live? I don't see any equipment on it, and when I am at the intersection there I don't get anything better than ok signal, I do get a stronger signal as I get closer to the one in Oakleaf.

That tower at Old Jennings is owned by Sba Towers III LLC

http://map.sbasite.com/SiteInfo.aspx?SiteCode=FL14573-A

 

The regular network vision site shows (of course it does not show LTE) no work on that site, but does show:

The tower up near College/Blanding had a voice upgrade.

The tower near Oakleaf Plantation/Brannan Field had a voice upgrade.

The tower off of 220 had voice/data/capacity.

 

Does anyone live near Branan Mill Plantation and/or Whisper Creek and confirm strength if any?

Opensignals shows nothing.

Its one of those sites with the hidden panels. I don't believe it had nv upgrades. It's 1x and evdo only.

You guys may want to check sensorly there's a lot now blips on the map. More towards downtown on Atlantic Blvd

Shands Bridge is covered now, too. Most of the action is in Orange Park. I wonder if the same crews that'll work in 32259 are doing the Orange Park sites, then moving over to the east a bit. :P

I got a hit on my phone last night according to my LTE record. I traveled across the hart bridge down university Blvd then down Atlantic to the Walmart on Kernan. So somewhere on that stretch my phone connected to LTE.

 

Also I connected to a site for the first time without cycling airplane mode. I updated my EVO LTE to jelly bean and it looks like HTC increased the scan times. I'll test the connectivity when I go back to work Tuesday and connect to a LTE site.

Hart bridge is all lit up on sensorly.

Bleh, I really want the Racetrack and 13 tower in 32259 to go live! I'm used to nearly ubiquitous outdoor coverage in my part of Boston.

Interesting you say that because I'm in 32259, too. The site you're talking about is about complete. The new antennas are already installed and I saw them installing back haul last week. It's only a matter of time. :P

I'm on cr 210, and none of the sites on 210 have even started yet. :'(

I think backhaul might already be connected. 3G is consistently above 1 mbps. When I was last here, during the summer, getting 600 kbps was a nice surprise. My signal isn't the greatest, either. It varies between -80 and -100 dBm in different parts of my house. Hopefully they're just in the last stages of testing LTE.

I drove past the site that shows in progress on Soutel Dr and I didn't see any panels or any workers could that mean that the backhaul is install and work is ready to begin?

In progress sites mean its been confirmed by another user that work has started there. Sometimes it'll be backhaul installation and sometimes it'll be antenna work or even new cabinets.

Not necessarily. About half of the In Progress reports come from Sprint sources. They are more likely to be able to report early in Progress work, like backhaul work and equipment deliveries. Our members are more likely to report panel installs and other more visible work. So it can go either way.

Same as the tower by my house in the hood. Lol

Well, I saw a truck drive into the site area nearly 3 weeks ago and I figured they were about to start. I checked today and nothing. :x

 

I'm becoming inpatient because every single other carrier has 4g lte (or HSDPA+ speeds) in my area. Hopefully Ericsson jumps the gun and pushes harder than other OEMS

I was impatient to until I actually connected to LTE. Now I can wait. I can't wait for cdma 800 personally most buildings I enter I lose signal.

I wouldn't mind LTE 800, either. Maybe then I can get some signal at work. :P

Right now I have to flash a verizon PRL to make phone calls while I'm at work. I wished Roam Ctrl worked on 1900 mhz band too.

I must say since this jb update my evo LTE connects to LTE sites almost instantly. Made me fall in love with it again. Any way back on topic. There's a couple sites marked in progress I wonder how many more site will get worked on in the coming months.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
