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 mapped out some additional 4LTE love on the Northside. New Berlin to Cedar Point.

 

Let's hope there are plans to light up Bayard near the hospital. 3G is brutal.

 

On a side note....installed CM10 on my Galaxy S3 this week. I find myself toggling airplane mode at work just to get my 3G back. I had to do the same on New Berlin. Once I got 4LTE on New Berlin, the SG3 handled it fine and the handoff from 4LTE to 3G was seamless.

Hello everyone Im brand new to this forum. I just have one question.

 

Has anyone been to or close to Nas Jax and gotten an lte signal. I want to make sure I can get a signal there before I commit to switching to sprint.

You can go to Sensorly.com and see where people have gotten signal. Welcome!

I've personally had signal on 295 across the buckman bridge near the Roosevelt exit but I haven't been near the base. Most users here uses sensorly and map their trips. Maybe someone in that area will confirm that it is or isn't service in that area.

No LTE on NAS Jax. Not sure when or if that will happen. I have LTE near me in Orange Park but still not at my house. The wait for LTE in both locations continues for me.

 

It's a question of when, not if. And we don't have the answer for the when.

from personal experience both Sprint and T-Mobile are basically worthless while on NAS Jax, particularly as you approach the eastern side. Verizon might be your best bet for NAS Jax service.

Service at Nas Jax is bad for all carriers. It just depends where you are at the time. Every carrier has their places where their service is dismal on the base.

I just got 1.8mb down and .82 up and I'm near the northern end of Kernan. I haven't seen anyone work on the tower up here so I expect these are just normal speeds for off-peak hours :-(

Well it is weird cause it was good speed all day... and right noe it is cloudy like he'll and again still almost 1mb. I mean last week I wouldvwait for pages to load (and got time outs) any time of the day...yesterday I downloaded over 1 gig while trying different 4...jelly bean and ics on my old evo 4g (it's gonna be my dedicated garage mp3/radio player)

Well the real test is attempt the speed test again at about 530-6pm tonight and see what happens.

 

Usually it'll just time out or get .01 download and upload speeds, basically useless. I'll try it again as well during that time frame.

Right on my couch...low end speeds seem to be at 300kb -500k.. I'm in Sutton lakes complex, up from Keenan on Atlantic, across CarMax......sorry I'm too excited but... ever since I got the phone I had 0 to 150kb with an average of 50kb

Well up here at the top end of Kernan I just pulled 1.04 down and .22 up with a ping of 132.

 

Better than normal for sure. Websites are loading, google maps actually works. I still haven't seen anyone work on this tower though.

Okay...my frustration is at an all-time high. I work downtown and I used to be able to stream music, but for the past few weeks, I have not been able to with a consistent connection. I have contacted Sprint 4 times about this, but to no avail. The first two times, there supposedly was some kind of outtage that was supposed to be fixed last Friday. I contacted them twice today and the first time, the network provisioning didn't go through and the 2nd time, the tech had me update the profile (my PRL wouldn't update). Pandora worked for 5 minutes. Then I switched to Amazon Cloud Player and it worked for 5 minutes than became unusable (every 10-20 seconds it was buffering) and it's driving me batty.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe the towers have been getting hit harder in that area lately.

Well it must just be the particular tower I'm on, because down at Atlantic/Kernan at about 6pm data was absolutely useless. Websites wouldn't load, speedtest timed out. After attempting speedtest about 13-14 times it finally ran and did around 600ms ping time with a 0.01 download and 0.0 download. Which is pretty much normal for Sprint at rush hour.

 

Judging by apparent signal strength on my phone and locations of Sprint towers I'd wager I'm on a different tower than here at home where I pulled half way decent 3G yesterday at the same time.

Probably. The tech said something about one of the towers around here "wasn't 100%." I don't know what that means though. I gather that whatever they are doing around here isn't 100% completed or repaired. At least, that's what I hope.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      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.
