drove up pondella to what i believe is the sprint tower on the right past orange grove. definitely doesn't look like the pictures i've seen on this site so i don't think that is the one. plus i ran speed tests there and was only getting like 5 down when i was getting 30+ near the original ft myers site but i did find lte all up del prado and all down pondella so it should be on sensorly soon

Did some driving around n cape on Santa Barbra up Pine Island then cut across to veterans and didnt get anything this morning. Must be in testing phase. When I got home 4g lit up again and got a 6.3 download 1.2 upload. But then after a little bit it shut back off again.

I was getting 4g again on Gladiolus westbound approaching A&W Bulb Road so I think it must be permanent there. Signal wasn't the strongest and it disappeared when I went north on A&W so the tower must be south of that intersection somewhere.

 

I have an iphone otherwise I would be assisting in the mapping.

Ok today I mapped from corner of Pine Island and Del Prado, all the way up to 41 via Del Prado ext. Without the Lte discovery app my sg3 would not pick up 4g, however my speeds were horrible!

good to see fort myers and cape coral getting some lte.. Please head up to port Charlotte and north port area asap..

All those spots in the cape, less than a mile away from me and still no lte at home. Hopefully it won't be long for you!

Went on a drive down santa barbara to taco bell and got a total of 42 points of 4g (screen shot was taken before all were discovered) its up on sensorly :)

 

I worked in that taco bell for 2 years when I was in high school :)

I am curious to know the status of the LTE rollout in the Marco Island-Goodland area. Any towers up and running down there? The reason I ask is I'm moving to the south naples area in May and will be spending a lot of time in Marco and Goodland because that's where my family lives. I'm thinking that if LTE would be last to any area, it would be Marco Island-Goodland.

There is no plan to delay the Sarasota/Bradenton area. They work on each site when it is ready. They are working in the entire SW Florida market as each site is ready. They are not picking and choosing sites. It is what it is. And you will have it before more than 50% of Sprint customers. Including me.

I was wondering about this. Sprint stores have been selling phones here, telling people LTE would be in Sarasota/Bradenton by last December. Then around November, the words "Sarasota/Bradenton" were removed from all listings of markets getting LTE. If you look at the markets in SW Florida now, "Sarasota/Bradenton" is suspiciously missing. Worse, they started some work here on Sprint towers about last August... made Sprint service in this area nearly unusable (and that's how it remains now 6-7 months later). Not a word since. No updates. And not a tower in this area even "in progress". Makes me wonder still.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
