Got a 4g signal yesterday by us1 and 152nd St just by the fire station. Speeds were slow and it switched back to 3g after a bit so they were probably just testing a new tower close by. I threw up a dot on sensorly.

Yesterday I went to the Chicken Kitchen right there on 152nd St but I didnt feel like going in the car and thought I would enjoy some walking. So I walked from 124th St all the way to 152nd St via US1 and all the while I held a 4G signal mapping it on Sensorly and basically connecting all that section of US1 which was unmapped before.

 

As you said, all the way there the signal stayed between -105 and -110 and was basically useless. Websites wouldnt load etc. I switched to CDMA mode only for a sec and did a speedtest on 3G and got 1.8/1 which is very fast for 3G. It was just the 4G that was useless.

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

Same thing is going on North Dade and Miramar area. 4g is being broadcasting from the towers. But the speed is so low.

183 and 47 ave that tower puts out 25+ Mbps

183 and 57 ave tower.1.5 to 3.0 if you lucky.

Miramar Red Rd and miramar parkway. 0.2kbps

 

Note Signal to all these tower are good. Within -80 or so but the bandwidth is slow. Such a Tease.

When did the 183rd and 57th Ave tower start broadcasting 4g?

For about 2 weeks. In my house I can my phone says 4g. I used a app call Netmonitor. It shows me a map of the tower i'm connected to . But that tower is slow. Sprint need to do something.

I've never gotten 4G in that area. The times that I have I believe it was pulling from the 47th Ave. tower; as soon as I would move a little further west it would drop. Even at my church (IBB... big blue building across from Burger King) or at the Walmart there it's all 3G.

The tower at 183 and 57 is not accepted yet. If you get a signal there it will be from the tower at 183 and 47 and the signal will be weak and hence extremely slow speeds etc.

I see this is mapped on Sensorly already (unless that was me) but just south of Opa Locka airport there's 4G now. There wasn't last time I was there about a month ago. Glad to see continued progress!

I was just looking at Sensorly on a desktop and comparing the Sprint 4G mapped areas to Verizon and AT&T. I was really surprised to see how many areas have not been mapped by either of the other two carriers and Verizon, who started rolling out ages ago, still don't have any coverage on the turnpike 821 east of 75 up to University! If you zoom out so that the map shows the area from 595 down to 195/112 and toggle between AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, it is amazing how much more coverage Sprint seems to have in areas away from the highways. Can this possibly be correct?

I starting to believe its not correct. Cause My phone can say 4g and send a report to Sensorly that is has 4g in the area. But the speed of 4g is so slow. 4g logo on my phone doesn't mean I have for get. These towers are broadcasting LTE but not download or up loading. The Latency is crap.

What you have to realize is that if your phone latches onto a LTE signal that is poor the connection will be flaky or even nonexistent. The latest updates to my S3 now allows my phone to hold onto an LTE signal at -120dBm signal which for me, basically has no internet connectivity. Once coverage become more consistent these issues will go away. I honestly wished they had kept 4G threshold down to at least -105 dBm until our market is fully launched. That way your phone would jump back onto 3G. But this can all be avoided by just putting our phones to EVDO 3G Only mode.

I started putting my phone on just CDMA 3g to avoid the no data connection. I just wonder is Sprint going to come back and make those 4G connection active. Seem like a waste of money to send a tech out to put the connection up and send another one to complete the actions. But so far the 3G is working pretty good now.

I don't think they put Miami in this project. Can wait for Miami to be a part of something

Yea I know, which is weird that they would announce a soft launch in wpb when I think Miami is a lot more ahead... (I assume)

Regardless it seems everywhere I go now I'm finding LTE on my iPhone 5. In Kendall is constant now. My office area 37 ave NW 50th st is all constant LTE. My drive home on 836/826 turnpike to Kendall is all constant LTE. The market has gotten better. Can't complain. When the new iPhone drops...hence 5S...I have a decision to make. Don't know if I'm gonna stay put with sprint. Depending on how the market is then we will see.

Only West Palm Beach market shows coverage as it was soft launched earlier this month. You won't see any 4g LTE Sprint map for Broward or Miami Dade.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
