Network Vision/LTE - Orlando Market

[kmshadoze]

I just got off the phone with sprint and they told me that they are starting to work on a tower in sanford starting thursday.

)))))

 

Exciting!

Had sensorly running on my route back from Casselberry to lake Mary via 1792 & Longwood/Lake Mary, lake Mary Blvd....got a few points for 4G but don't know where exactly yet. I drive a contracted postal truck throughout some of cfl so when I am driving I usually keep sensorly app running mapping my trips...hopefully the map well update soon

Darn, I was hoping you actually meant on LM Blvd. I picked up a signal for about 2 minutes near the I-4 end of it about a week ago, but has been dead since then. Was hoping it was getting turned back on

This weekend I have free, so I'm going to go driving around all of Auburndale looking to see if anything has started here yet. I'll also do parts of Lakeland and Winter Haven in hopes that I can find LTE coverage near me.

 

 

The only thing is I gotta learn how to do this first, lol.

Alright guys check out this news report. Sprint has a new strategy to speed up the LTE rollout process. Looks like we'll be seeing LTE in our homes a lot sooner than we expected.

Umm guys...it looks like T-Mobile might surpass Sprint in LTE coverage... Sprint says they lowered their goal to cover 200 million people by the end of the year. :/

T-Mobile LTE is just a simple overlay of their existing HSPA+ network. It should be very fast to install. But they are only adding LTE to their existing 4G footprint.

 

Don't get me wrong, it will perform admirably. And I'm happy for Tmo. But let's see Tmo add LTE to their EDGE network, and we can talk.

Their dismal coverage is a nail in the coffin of an otherwise great network. Hence, why I have Sprint!

When you're running Sensorly and NOT getting coverage, you'd think it should update that on the map accordingly. So basically Sensorly would be a reading of what the latest coverage was when it was last recorded in that area. Instead of if coverage was ever in that area. Even further, I'd be nice if you could toggle to see both.

I agree with this. I think that would be fantastic. Like "Up to Date Map" and "Whats been Spotted" map

[gf11speed]

And to take it even a step further, it'd be really cool if you could see a time lapse. So you can visualize rollouts and compare where they are now vs where they were, say, 3 weeks ago, 6 months ago, etc

[kmshadoze]

That would be nice as well. See how its progressed, and even a thing for when the towers are on/off (while still in testing)

My brother was getting LTE in Avalon today. Just want to note, he was getting 13-16mbps down... looks like that tower is back up.

Over in the Sponsor section, I have posted about two LTE sites that were accepted yesterday in the Orlando market. Sponsors can check out more details and the maps here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/588-network-vision-site-map-florida-markets/page__view__findpost__p__103555

Is it the $100 donation to be able to see that info, or is it any kind of donation?

It is in the Sponsor section. Any donation amount makes you a Sponsor. The Premier Sponsor is yet another level that can be obtained by reaching a total of $100 or more and gives you access to even more content beyond that.

Ahh, I have read the two, but was always confused by it. This clarifies it better. Thanks

Well sensorly is running still and I picked up sum LTE on 46 & 415 in front of the racetrack that's there just eat of the airport...sorry that I'm still not too familiar with cfl as of yet. Been here since May of 12 and all I do is work and home

When did you pick it up? That was in Sanford Correct cause I live two minutes away and I can go check it out.

Mapped some new areas between oviedo, geneva, down 46 and more on 419. I will post screen shots sunday on the speeds I was getting...I think they were epic! !

[samer21]

Yes looks like that area got a new tower.

Let me know what you find, the towers in our are hopefully are coming on soon. If the tower there is live, I should be able to pick up LTE here in Lake Mary as well!

I went to that race trac on 415 yesterday and got nothing. I even did a signal reset. But Sprint has been the the Lake Mary/Sanford area. My 3G speed is a little better. I've been getting .4-.6 mbps Have seen notice better speeds?

[kmshadoze]

I am still get horrible 3G speeds. Even with full bars, its no more than .2/,05
