Network Vision/LTE - Miami/West Palm Market

[flycuban]

Sounds like the Miami market has been slow moving... Not a whole lot of action nor on here..

[Jaggrey]

I was just going to post the same thing. I'll be seeing my friend that works on the towers tomorrow. I'll be sure to grill him on what's going on down here. :-D

on the 11th of march the tower on 441 an glades in boca raton had a rope attached to the tower but the next day it was gone an i didn't notice anything different on the tower so today there was a Crain near the tower an again i didn't see anything different on the tower. my question is why there was a Crain next to the tower but nothing looked different. im not saying sprint was working on it but this is twice in a week that there was something going on with the tower but nothing seemed to happen???

They're messing with you.

 

 

But really, it could be prep work, adding an additional holder(s) for more panels that wouldn't necessarily visible, maintenance, nothing Sprint related, any number of things. Without pictures and seeing the guys working on it, it's hard to say anything about it.

Cranes are also used to drop in cabinets as well. Personally I am seeing many more towers sites with active 4g than what's represented on the acceptance reports here. I believe Miami / West Palm area may just be behind on inspections. I have seen several nearby sites upgraded to 4g.

oh ok. I am going to go up to the tower an take a look next chance I get cause I noticed all the stuff when I was driving by. I am going to have to find my camera an take pictures cause i lost my gs3 an besides they take crappy pics. i am hoping to seeing some good things

I was getting LTE on Commercial at the Intracoastal (at Kaluz restaurant) tonight. Nothing shows up on Sensorly, yet so I'm hoping maybe they turned on a new tower in East Fort Lauderdale?

[Moropo]

Today I was able to connect to the accepted tower in Dadeland (around SW 88th St and US1) which for some reason I couldn't connect to it for around 2 weeks.

Has anyone been having problems with their devices constantly changing from 3G to O during peek hours; 6PM - 10PM? I've notice this happening more often in the last past few weeks. Is this due to a lack of EVDO carriers?

 

This has been happening to me for a couple weeks now.

 

I swear my iPhone 4s is unusable (Facebook, IG, Safari) if i'm not on wifi. Sprint 3G is more like EDGE lol.

My 3g is not usable at all for the last month

[gman561]

the tower off 441 an glades boca raton is being worked on again. i was driving home for my break an noticed guys climbing the tower. so this is now the 4th time this tower being worked on. maybe its down???

 

i drove by the tower to see what the guys had done cause its raining now so they left. what they did so far was build a platform right below the pannels. i guess they put the platforms there so that they can take the pannels off an put the new ones on with no problems but thats my assumption. if i get the chance tomorrow ill ask the guys what they are upgrading

[rd261]

I had to turn off lte on my iPhone. This has been happening often on sites broadcasting lte.

3G ping time are surprisingly fast (under 200 most of the times) but download and upload speeds are still unusable which is to be expected since the market is nowhere near complete.

Well I noticed I had the 4G symbol on. It was a weak signal -115db but a good sign. I am not sure why it connected. Went outside it dropped down to -107 to -110db

[Mondays In Flames]

I've gotten 4G twice in Coral gables, first time I wasn't really sure where I was, but this time I just got it from work. I'm around 26th street and S. Lejeune. I haven't seen anything on the map recently to indicate of a tower in progress, or any completed towers here in Coral Gables. -Luis

[y2kconcierge]

Just sighted lte in Boca! Right off Palmetto circle north and powerline

[Moropo]

So NV Sites Complete was just updated and there were 7 towers in 2 weeks. I wonder what has happened...

[gman561]

Just saw guys installing new pannels on a tower in boca off of 441 N glades. The pannels are sprint lte ones there is 2 rru for each pannels an 6 ports connected at the bottom of the pannel. I have pics an i will post them later. Im really excited cause the tower is right up the street an i will have lte at my work whicch is right across the street from the tower. I dont have my gs3 cuase it was stolen so i dont know if lte is up an running. I will be getting a new phone this weekend so ill do tests when i can.

Seems like the tower on 168st and US1 is going live. mapped a bunch, and been getting LTE from near my window of my room.

 

Once they have LTE 800mhz, and handsets to support it. It will be awesome. Though honestly I wish it was the Key Biscayne tower so i can have access at work instead.

There are quite a few Miami market sites I need to add. I'm way behind.

Alright thanks for the info, of course we understand. I have a question:

 

In my aunt's house in Hialeah (around W 60th St and W 18th Ave) Sprint service has been atrocious (no bars and around -103 dbm) for the past year, making the 3G unusable to pull up even the simplest of webpages and calls dropping etc. However, last weekend I was there and I noticed I had 4 bars and I checked and it was at -76 dbm which certainly surprised me. Today I also visited and again 4 bars and around 75 dbm. So it looks that Sprint service has improved SIGNIFICANTLY and it seems its going to stay. Now my question is, what could have made such a significant increase in signal strength? There haven't been any 3G/4G towers accepted near this place that would provide an increase to the signal (as I have read 3G signal improves with NV, but anyways, isnt it only like 6 dbm or something?). What could have made the signal indoors to go from -103 to -76 ??

First thing comes to my mind with such a huge improvement is whether or not a new cell site was built but I checked on network.sprint.com to see if a new cell site was displayed on the map but didn't see anything. I do see that two of the closest towers have had work completed in the last six months. Data Speed Upgrades. It's possible NV work could have been completed on either of those sites and just not reported to Robert as yet. But that is a huge increase in coverage. Was the signal recorded 1x or EVDO? If it was just 1x maybe your site is broadcasting 800 MHz CDMA??

[rjw]

Finally the in progress site on Sunrise Blvd and Hiatus finally broadcasting LTE. Checked Sprint's site and noticed the site received another Data Speed Upgrade and certain enough when I drove by today it was on. Here is a screen shot of a quick speed test.
