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.

      FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.

      Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.

      MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.

      I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
