Working at coconut point mall today and getting 4g with a good speed. Speedtest attached!

 

Awesome. They must have finished the tower at tijuana flats then.

I just map some 4g in Naples on Pine Ridge and 75. It's a fairly weak signal only got about 4 down and 1 up but it's finally in Naples.

Here are a couple of pictures from a tower off of C.C. Pkwy. in Cape Coral. I talked to one of the crew guys and he said it should be live sometime this week. Boy I hope so.

So I talked to 2 of the crew members at the tower I've been watching in Bradenton, both super nice guys. I was really nervouse about approaching them but they had no problem chatting with me.

 

They hope to have NV panels up by Wednesday (what they were working on today) and broadcasting LTE shortly after.

 

Funny story; the reason work had been delayed at this particular site, and the RRU's had to be mounted on the ground is because there is a birds nest on Sprint's rack which could absolutely NOT be disturbed until it was hatched and vacated.

 

Effin' birds! haha :D

Been picking up 4G around Fort Myers and Lehigh sporadically. I live in Lehigh. It connects for a few minutes then goes away. It never stays on for long. Max speed I've seen is 1megabit.

Check and see if that tower off of homestead is turned on if you get a chance. It's been done for awhile.

I'm near the corner of 82 and Gunnery. Again tonight 4G comes and goes, only staying for a couple minutes. That seems kind of strange.

You're either in a fringe zone, and picking up a distant, weak signal or a tower near you has been lot up and is being tested. Neither scenario uncommon of a nascent network. I'm sure your battery life is taking a big hit though! ;)

    • 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?
