I just got over 70+ Mbps in Sarasota. My first time on b41 in the swfl area.

I was driving north today on I-75, just south of exit 228 (the I-275/I-75) junction near Ellenton and saw some tower dogs near mile marker 227.5 on the east side of the road. They had one set of Spri

Sprint never removed your area from any list. Sprint isn't keeping a running list of announcements. Each announcement only names additional cities.   Work is progressing in your area. In fact, I

Hey just wanted to let you know I mapped down Sumter and had lte at appomatix. :-)

 

Thank you very much for doing that and letting me know. Will look for it tomorrow on sensorly.com. Looks like home would be covered. Wish I knew what tower.

Marco Island may not be on published Sprint lists, but I assure you that Marco Island Sprint sites are being upgraded to LTE. And there is already some sites live around Naples. It's coming. Stay tuned.

Marco Island is on the list!

Thanks for the reply. I try to be patient. Is there somewhere I can see a list of sprint sights where I live. I'm only aware of one cell tower on Marco

 

If you become a sponsor, we have maps available that so the location of all Sprint sites across the country, as well as which sites have been upgraded already.

I'm out on Siesta Key for a work meeting and I saw some NV panels going up on a condo rooftop, just north of the village. was late to the meeting (oops!) so I didn't have time to stop and investigate further, just saw that panels were up but not yet broadcasting.

They must be testing those. A guy told me he had LTE on the beach a week ago

That list is from October 2012. Was hoping to see some LTE here by now. Thanks for the heads up on the sponsor maps thing.

Early last Sunday morning (4/21), I got just west of I-75 on Colonial Blvd and did a Sensorly speed test that resulted in 27.20 Mbps down and 10.22 Mbps up.

 

I have the graphic to prove it but haven't been able to figure out how to add an photo album here. :blink:

 

Peace,

Yeah, it was announced some time ago. But, just so you know, there are some locations (a couple I can think of in Texas) that were announced last July and just got launched with LTE this month. That's why the list says "Coming Months" and not "next month" or "May."

 

But have no fear, your towers will get upgraded. Hopefully soon now that the SW FL market has started to move along pretty quickly.

Photobucket, imageshack, dropbox... any of those will let you embed an image here.

Make sure if it's in Dropbox, it's in your public folder.

 

Thanks. If you can't tell, I'm new at this. Sorry if the image is too big.

 

The speed was screaming though.

 

Peace,

Have not seen any work on the tower permits I have been looking at in Bradenton.

I was thinking the same thing here in the south end of this market.

Yeah i ride past the tower on Florida Blvd here and went right up to it and there is nothing around like waiting to be installed etc. I hope they get back around to it soon as it has a open permit i do believe

I have seen a lot of activity at the tower in Bradenton that I've been keeping track of, behind the donut shop on 41.

 

As of late I haven't seen any of the BetaCom crew there, but RRU's are now fully installed and for the past few days there have been workers there digging and laying down cable. my guess is fiber backhaul.

I'm hoping one of you can help me with Sensorly. I mapped a fairly long trip today around the Cape and back to Lehigh and then pressed stop expecting to see some sort of "Upload to Sensorly" option, but there wasn't one.

 

Was it uploading to Sensorly the whole time I was doing the trip?

 

Is there a delay in updating the maps because I'm not seeing the route I took?

 

I'm a nooob, so thanks for your patience.

 

Peace,

no, I'm talking about the one on the corner of 41(or 14th Street, Tamiami Trail, whatever you want to call it) and Orlando Ave. across the street from McDonalds and Gordon Foods.

I switched my phone over to LTE/CDMA instead of CDMA only a couple weeks ago. So far the 4g is super spotty as far as speedtest.net app goes, and my evdo bars are all over the place, will go from no bars to 3 bars sitting in same spot! Im in Sunrise FL and I was at the intersection of Oakland Pk and Nob hill, had full evdo bars, and got a 25 dl and almost 8 ul, almost like home wifi.

Yes lte is acting strange. Drops out and comes back a lot. By noon on 3g I'm in the 10kbps range. Tower has be be overloaded. At 5 am I can pull 2mb down.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
