A new site went live in Bradenton yesterday.

I meant in the south end of the market, particularly Cape Coral. There are nine towers in the city limits, and only two has had a panel change out, and one transmitting 4G.

I live 1 1/2 miles from one tower and 2 miles from another one and not one of them has been changed out yet. so sad. :(

I also know for a fact that workers have already placed Sprint equipment on the tower down off of Lafayette St becauee I deliveredbpizza to them and asked. They informed me it was Sprint LTE panels rhey were installing. This was about 2 months ago maybe

Bradenton is so slow :( they are doing work to the 1 on cortez road and such but South Bradenton like in the past is not going anywwhere. I go past the tower on Fl Blvd and it has been a ghost site for weeks now. If they do not work on that tower when my contract is up they might lose 11 lines of service. I have been told so much junk from them in the past it is getting old. So lets hope for some more people working. And it is not the permit as that 1 is open.

They have more LTE sites complete in Bradenton than anywhere else in the market except Ft. Myers. Three sites have been accepted there the past 10 days. That's a pretty good clip. They are actively working in the area. If that's not enough for you, we won't beg you to stay. Do what's best for your needs. But please don't post your complaints here.

Well if nothing is going on I have nothing to say. Bradenton, Venice, Englewood is my area of travel and the sound of crickets is still ringing. They had a tower go live in Bradenton but it is close to the other live tower and pretty much overlaps. Things seem to have come to a stand still around here. I have checked permits and all just hanging open. I look at the towers with the approved permits and nothing going on. Tower on fruitville has had panels for months now but nothing going on there either. So I have no idea what the holdup is around here but getting pretty frustrating anymore. I was all into it but losing interest as everything has come to a halt in these parts.

I live in Englewood and that area will most likely be the last area to get anything.

So if I see anything I will post but as of now nada.

Where are they working right this moment? I do not know. I only know where they've been based on the NV Sites Complete Map.

The wait is getting frustrating in the South Naples, Marco Island area. Had family here over the weekend. One had AT&T and there is LTE here from them. Speed test said his LTE was about 10X faster than my internet connection in my house! So it was probably 50x faster than my sprint 3g speed.

    • This site is built but not live. eNB 41150 is still live. eNB 41188 is decommissioned but as far as I can tell the site at 200 West 55th is not built yet. This site is live gNB 1346302. This site is live gNB 1092074 This site is live gNB 1371671 This site is live gNB 1371860 — — — — — Sprint eNB 6156 -> T-Mobile gNB 1349260 Sprint eNB Unknown -> T-Mobile gNB 1325016 — — — — — Bonus T-Mobile 5G small cell, gNB 1348688 in Queens:  
    • 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.
