Well it seems the head of this site is really on a long vacation lol i made my payment long ago and still have not been upgraded. I want to know if there is a tower near Bayshore Gardens Parkway and 26th street in Bradenton that will be upgraded. I know there is a sponsor map that shows the closest towers that will be upgraded but i can't see it to find out if there is a tower close to my house or not. Frustrating cause i have drove around and have not seen any towers. I am south just a little from Bayshore Gardens Parkway and 26th street west.

On 4g right now in North Port finally got it on that one tower. Also got 4g in port Charlotte by the mall. That's the tower I posted the pics of before. Everything will be mapped for your viewing lol

It appears as though the tower on beneva and Bahia vista is now turned off? I know they test, and then turn on later, but how long does that usually take?

 

I pass by that tower almost everyday and as far as I can tell there aren't even NV panels up on that tower. I see legacy Sprint panels on either the 2nd or 3rd rack from the top, I don't remember.

 

Anyway, I get a very weak LTE signal that almost instantaneously drops back to 3G when I'm at that intersection so I doubt very much it's coming from that tower.

i really appreciate those that are mapping in the North Port area. looks like it is getting really close to me. :-) does anyone know if we are getting coverage around sumter / appomattox / north port blvd? see pic >>>> https://www.dropbox.com/s/rm1b84i9l9jilhu/me.PNG

 

Thanks again!

Anyone know anything about lte in the south cape? I've seen some up near north fort myers but that's about it. Anybody have a clue?

A tower in south cape has been done for a few weeks now, but not turned on yet. Hopefully it will be soon.

That would be awesome! am curious about the block around sumter, appomattox, north port blvd, and 41.

 

i live off appomattox in the villas of sabal trace. in laws are in villas of sabal trace phase 2 off north port blvd.

 

Thanks again. I wish i already had a 4g device. would love to go out mapping. :-)

I really hope to see service in North Sarasota improve soon.

 

The entire stretch of 41 from Myrtle Ave. all the way to Tallevast is basically unusable. I'm always either roaming or on one bar of 1X, 3G is basically non-existant, and no service of any kind at New College and Ringling. Airport is spotty at best.

Well i mapped some today from Bayshore High School west to 43rd street and up 43rd street West in Bradenton. I wish the site op would check his posts. I know he is on Vacation but i payed weeks ago to get upgraded, just so if i can see if there is a tower that will have LTE just south of Bayshore Gardens Parkway on 26th Street West. I have searched my area looking for the cloest tower but no luck finding my tower.

The nearest tower to you that's actually broadcasting LTE is on the corner of 30th St. W and 45th Ave. W

Well i am talking about towers that will get it not ones that already do have it. I have said many times if my house is not in lte coverage then 11 line sprint account is going to be closed.

 

The tower you said must be the 1 that i get 4g on all the way around Bayshore high school all around cortez in that area and down the other way till i get to Bayshore Gardens Parkway then it drops out.

 

If there is no closer tower to me that is going to be upgraded then that tower then i am done with sprint. But again till the site OP decides to check in on his site and upgrades my account i can't check the all towers section on this site :)

Well after looking around on the net i see there is a tower it looks like around 63rd ave west and 14th street west. But until the site op upgrades me i can't check the area of this site which shows if that tower will get LTE or not.

i read somewhere that 99.7% of all sites will get LTE. I don't think you have anything to worry about. It is exciting to see sprint rolling LTE out in our area. I continue to check sensorly to see where others are mapping. i find that it is super helpful to know that people are mapping these areas to show where LTE already exists.... with the sensorly mapping and the super helpful people in this forum, you should be able to find answers to all of your questions.

 

i am glad that i found this site. probably would have already closed my account with sprint by now. but with these upgrades coming, and the rates that sprint has for UNLIMITED data, i don't think it can be beat.

 

hope it works out for you.

well since june of 2008 i believe i was sucked into a everything data plan for my 11 lines of service on 2 different plans. I was told by a csr that 100% by August of that year i would have 4g in my area. Well 4g stopped and Bradenton got No 4g. Then the Iphone came out and that killed our speed here in Bradenton. on 3G in bradenton i can't even search on my S3 for stuff. It is faster to just do the old way of calling home and asking someone to look it up on the internet. So being screwed by sprint with 4g makes me to the point of when i see it i will believe it. I will check that tower out now that i know where it is. That tower is only 1.5 miles from my house so if it gets LTE then i should be okay. But i could check real easy on this site if i was upgraded after i made my paypal payment :) i posted in the towers section and i was told in a quote that if i make a payment and become a sponsor i could check and see which towers will get LTE or not in my area by the site op. Well a few days later i made the payment but he went on a extended Vacation now for over 2 weeks :) and i still have not become a sponsor though i made a payment to become 1 thanks for any help.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • 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.
