Network Vision/LTE - Miami/West Palm Market


Mondays In Flames

There's no real way to know for sure. That website has been tracking the maintenance updates that are mean to hold over the network until NV work arrives, but has also recently been showing a speed upgrade when LTE arrives. Most likely, it was just a maintenance update. If you happen to go by the tower, look for the new NV panels on the tower. If those are present, then NV may be starting on that tower.

 

The tower is right across the way from my work ill check it out.

I wish boca raton wasnt so stingy with permits to work on towers. Some one told me boca raton was late on some upgrades due to tower permits by the city an county which took a long time. Thats what a sprint store manager told me anyways. My hopes are for Christmas lte to start showing

Sprint stores are not kept in the loop on anything like that. I never believe anything they say and they always have some interesting stories.

From confidential sources.

I wonder if its the same source I get mine from.

 

The group that was sent up north to repair the downed towers after the hurricane should be back in two weeks. But I wonder if that will be enough to ramp production up here in south Florida.

Oh they are not back YET? No wonder nothing is happening in this market...

The number of volunteers was pretty low. So even with them back i wonder what else could be holding them back. I wonder if its money and parts?

Ok so I see that sensory says i95 has lte right up to surise which I live I wilton manors between sunrise and oakland then starts again at cypress for sum odd reason they stopped working on i95 there have been no improvements since October now they are building out side roads skipping my area. Worse off for the last 3 months my 3g speeds suck Im at .1 mb or less my upload is higher then my down. Sprint sends signals and resets my phone and that helps for 20-30 min max then I'm back to unusable service. I can't listen to music or videos nothing and I'm really getting upset I'm pay for a premium plan like I'm sure the rest of you are and I have no data plus to make things worse my phone has been roaming for the last two weeks. I also drove around i95 on thanksgiving and noticed the areas sensory said has 4g is now off. Does anyone know what's going on? Im not going to wait for another 6 months of no service and slow speeds. I go for long walks with my dogs 3x a day and I can't stream music anymore and its been like this for months. I saw 4g lighting up before and getting closer to me so I said well i wait it out but now all I see is they are skipping my area.

Please someone anyone have any answers or good news ? I live on wilton drive and ne 9th ave in wilton manors and for this level of service ill switch to metropcs at least they have 4g.

Stressed out gs3 customer here

Tks

A Sprint LTE site can range over 5 miles. In any instance where the range is less than that, it is by design. Coverage is engineered based on customer density. You only need to be concerned if the range doesn't extend at least 2/3 the distance to the next adjacent Sprint site. Then you have identified a coverage problem.

Is not just you. Things have significantly slowed down in the last couple of weeks. In fact I think in the last 3 weeks there has only been 1 or 2 towers upgraded to 4g around Miami. All towers previously upgraded are still broadcasting 4g at least in the Miami area. We can only hope deployment will accelerate soon.

Correct. Everything has slowed down to a crawl.

 

Also, not all accepted towers are broadcasting 4G. As I have said before I know of at least two towers that have been accepted but are not broadcasting 4G (one is at US1 and SW 144th St, the other one is at NW 183rd St and NW 57th Ave).

Woohoo..4G at my house/entire neighborhood. First time ever. New tower must've gone live

 

care to report where is your house/neighborhood? dont have to be specific if you are paranoid lol. Just an intersection.

I just got off the phone with Sprint and they told me at the towers in my area I still not working correctly and I'm talking about the normal towers not 4g towersmy phone keeps going to roaming and my internet sucks to so they are giving me a credit ane a call back in a couple days to see if it's working better

Whats up with boca ? No work has been done on any towers. Is erricson waiting on tower permits? Cause on sensorly it looks like boca was skipped.

 

Possibly. It wasn't skipped, something is just taking longer, or they haven't gotten to it yet. It shouldn't be too long now though.

    • 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?
