I've seen them use lights to work on towers in Orlando as well... Must be pressed to meet their deadlines.

If they have a crane on site, they are probably pressed to get finished and return it. Those things are very expensive to rent.

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 Shores in Ocala near Lockheed/Martin was getting a good connection to LTE Yesterday. It was very poor however on speed and was short lived as it was non existent today. How close are we???? :unsure:

That tower has not been updated but there is a tower by lake weir and another thats on baseline that both have LTE up which is probably the weak signal your getting.

This was a very informative post and likely explains our LTE crisis at the moment.

 

Yeah I've been scanning all over that thread and found it last night.  Also, one of our other Jacksonville guys from St. Augustine drove up and confirmed not being able to connect to the LTE sites around 295.

So far, not a single site along I-95 from WGV up to the south side can connect to LTE. There is faint LTE around Old St Augustine rd, but it was fleeting. Taking I-295 East up past JT Butler saw no hint of LTE. It goes without saying that there isn't any at the Town Center. So far, I have only seen LTE right in my neighborhood and inside the Avenues mall. At least when I got it while indoors of my house, even at a -110 dBm signal, I can pull nearly 30 Mbps. It will be nice once this gets sorted out.

There definitely an issue with your device. I pretty much pick up LTE everywhere especially outside.

What part of Jacksonville? It's odd that I get it at home, you'd think it'd never connect to LTE if there was a problem with my device. My wife hasn't gotten it, either, besides the Avenues and at home.

How is it in Ocala? My parent's house is in Belleview so I'll be around that way for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

They are doing the college tower as we speak which will bring alot of coverage to the sw side of the city

Wow that's awesome.  My parents on on the South side of Belleview near the new library.  So that pretty much places them in between two towers lol.  I'm hoping that when I get the Nexus in it will have better luck getting a signal there.

So far, with the G2 for both myself and my wife, it is nearly impossible to connect to LTE and when we do, if it goes back to 1x or eHRPD, it won't go back to LTE without updating the prl or cycling between Global and LTE/CDMA. Maybe by Christmas the issues will be resolved.

That sucks man. I guess I'll hold out until about Jan. Maybe by that time the issue will be fixed. I'm going to get the nexus because I'm pretty much done with HTC and none of the phones out now doesn't appeal to me. So the nexus at $349 is a win for me. Also I have the 2012 nexus 7 and I love it.

I'm sorry but my g2 just is not having that issue. U must have some incompatible towers near you.

My G2 runs LTE well. Holds a signal good. GS3 is better 1900 performer though.

Unfortunately, it seems that Jacksonville hasn't been updated yet to accommodate eCSFB devices. But hopefully soon it will be. Once connected, the G2 holds onto LTE close to - 130 and has impressive speeds even down that low.

So is eCSFB to TD LTE like eHRPD to CDMA to LTE? As far as handoffs goes.

From what I understand, eCSFB is what allows a device with a single antenna path to switch from LTE to CDMA since the new devices seem to completely shut off CDMA when connected to LTE and LTE when connecting to CDMA for voice service.

Why would Ocala have been updated to accommodate eCSFB devices while Jacksonville didn't?

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.

      I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
