Network Vision/LTE - South West Florida Market

Recommended Posts

I think the Florida Blvd. site has only been on intermittently for testing because this morning I was only getting 3G around those parts.

 

Legacy antennas are FINALLY being swapped out for NV antennas at the site on Orlando Ave. where RRU's have been ground mounted since March.

so, my mistake. I made assumptions the other day when I saw a crew working at the Orlando Blvd. site in West Bradenton. They where switching out antennas for T-Mobile, not Sprint.

 

still nothing NV related going on there since RRU's were basically dumped and abandoned there 5 months ago.

 

...man this thread has died. :(

I get extremely consistently LTE over here on my S4 but left to get a One and came back and can't hold it whatsoever so I am going to go to the Sprint Corp store and see if I can't get an exchange and see if that helps or if it is a network issue as to why I am dropping it.

The last few days,I haven't been able to call another phone on my account. And other non sprint customers have had the same problem.

saw a crane and the top off a monopole tower in lehigh acres, east of gunnery on lee blvd. not sure if its a sprint tower. there is another monpole tower to the west of gunnery and lee as well.

the one east of gunnery is not a sprint monopole.

Called Sprint today about the tower by 63rd and 21st east in Bradenton. Got the run around as usual. They don't see anything wrong on there end from the call center. Going on two weeks and no repairs. I guess i will just keep calling every two days.

Anyone one who cares, there is LTE in Englewood now. Good LTE speeds around 771 and the Rotonda area. Not much coverage yet in The Englewood east area though. The tower by my house in East Englewood has not been completed yet, but there is a open permit on the tower for NV install. :tu:

Quick question out of curiosity for those in the know.

 

In our market, for example, NV work is being done by a company based out of Tampa called Betacom. So my question is; who contracts the sub-contractors, and pressumeably monitors the progress of their work- Sprint, Ericsson, or both?

Second that. Who holds the subs accountable?

    • 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?
