Well things have certainly gotten a lot better in Weston. One of the formerly trouble spots is now a full build that's rocking and rolling. Still one more tower to check, but everything else is top

Ok so I did not get a steady 4g signal so I could not do a speed test but I did run sensory while walking my dogs and this is what I got in the 33305 zip code.

 

See attached sensory link

in case no one has noticed http://goo.gl/maps/luIqN

LTE just came online there and it's very high signal

I was able to pull 10mbps down.

 

Of course, the battery on my LGOG drained about 8 percent in five minutes. And the radio got wicked hot, like 120°F hot.

 

That's not normal with all the Sprint LTE devices I have. But I don't have the Optimus G. Most of the new LTE devices use battery at the same rate as 3G. Also, if my phone got hot just being connected to LTE, I'd be very concerned.

the LGOG is very thin and I expect it might be in desparate need of a radio update. Perhaps it was the CPU heating up, which is also cause for concern. The JB update isn't in the can yet and I suspect they're working on fixes for this issue right now.

Jus called sprint about not having any cell service cause I have no signal at all. A weird circle with a dash threw it keeps showing up. They told me there is a couple towers with issues an there a internet issue in my area too. What causes this to happen? High amounts of traffic?

The pannel im talken about is right below the cylinder ones at the very top. The one cylinder pannels are verizon if I am not mistaken then there is a rack below that one with a new white pannels which I am hoping is sprint an below that is at&t an below that is tmobiles new pannels. The funny thing about the new white pannel is if u look close u cannot see any ports at the bottom of the pannel for some reason. Can anyone explain that?

I don't think that is a Sprint panel. Without the connectors and RRUs, pretty sure it's not. I'm going to guess that that is actually T-Mobile... but that's just a guess.

Ah. I didn't realize that was this tower. Either way, doesn't look like Sprint. Possibly Metro. Don't really know.

I took the pic from a different angle. But the rack im talken about now is the 2nd rack to the top. The only way im gonna find out for sure is on the way to work tomorrow is stop by an see if there is guys working on the tower. There is still rope attached to the tower.

I think a new tower went online in South Miami. I can now get 4G from about 67th Ave and Miller continuously to a little past 836 after hopping on 826. I've gotten 4G at that intersection before but only very briefly.

Verizon only thinly covered most markets with LTE. They are still going back and adding more sites for more density in most urban markets.

I can't tell which one is Sprint. There are no panels visible that look like any Sprint legacy panels around here.

 

The second from the top, middle panel looks like the narrow beam VZW LTE panels used around here. However, it doesn't look like the connections have been made yet.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
