Its still the same exact signal as before unless of course the tower was changed over to NV.

 

Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge

 

Yeah I know but for some reason it doesnt switch back and forth between rev a and 1x as much. Opposed to having my phone set to cdma only

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 have seen workers up on the tower at JTB and I-95 about 2-3 weeks ago. You can see the new antennas they installed. Also, when I do a speed test around that tower I get between 1.5-2.0 Mbps on 3G.

Actually the site is a little off on the sprint site. See attached screenshots

Its also here in Daytona / Port Orange

"Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD). eHRPD is an enhancement of 1xEV-DO (AKA HRPD) that enables LTE to CDMA handover"

 

I'm assuming this is why my pings have dropped?

There's a site off of I95 and baymeadows road that's getting work done but I dont know if its a sprint site though

Is it a tower right behind the Comfort Suites and Troy moving company? I'd like to go check it out later this month if that's the tower you're talking about.

 

EDIT: Oh Snap! That's the tower for my Deerwood FSCJ campus, too! (If it's the one you're talking about.)

Im getting eHRPD everywherebin Florida I go Ocala, Lake Panasoffkee, Tampa, Orlando, and evern where I live Wimauma fl 33598 all I have to do is go from cdma to cdma/lte and

Everywhere I've been so far in Southern Jacksonville to Starke, Florida has had eHRPD active. I'm glad that it's active down there, too. LTE sites gotta be lighting up in our area soon. The backhaul is probably already installed at many sites, we just need them to install the panels!

I rode by that site again today as I was driving down I95. The site is definately getting work done to it. The Verizon site and AT&T sites are already done in that area so my only guess is that its a sprint site. It also has clear wimax colocated on it. Can someone pop by that site to check it out?

I'm getting pictures of it tomorrow. I'll post what I discover here.

Anyone see any LTE anywhere, yet? I haven't been to the Baymeadows tower (the one in the picture above) since the 18th so I have no idea whether or not it is live yet.

 

I drove passed the Baymeadows tower on the way back from Orlando. I cycled airplane mode nothing happened. It didn't even show up on the LTE record. I also went by the site on I95 and Busch drive and got the same thing.

When was this? If I can get out of class sooner than later, then I'll drive by tonight, unless you drove by it today already.

This was yesterday. I won't be back in that area until next week. I live a couple miles from the Busch drive tower though so I can keep checking on that one.

I'll probably wait until this Thursday to check the i95/Baymeadows tower, then. Let me know if anything pops up.

 

P.S. Jacksonville Market's anticipated launch is now listed for December 2012, opposed to the original schedule of November 2012.

The good? It's only a month. :P

The Bad? It's delayed a month! :(

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
