kmshadoze Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmshadoze Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 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 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed Ixnay Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 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.

XXavierXX Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) 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. http://www.wirelessestimator.com/breaking_news.cfm Edited February 7, 2013 by XXavierXX 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXavierXX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 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. :/ http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprint-loses-337000-net-subs-lowers-lte-coverage-goal-200m-year-end/2013-02-07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gf11speed Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gf11speed Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmshadoze Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digink Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Over in the Sponsor section, I have posted about two LTE sites that were accepted yesterday in the Orlando market.

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.

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!

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?
