I feel like I hit the Jackpot... Lol.... I have a high priority ticket open with Sprint Exec care and they forwarded my ticket to the local Ericsson tech. He called me directly. He was so impressed

This has nothing to do with what you pay for. The deployment is nowhere near done in Orlando. The speeds are because half the towers in the city have been upgraded. So 100,000 LTE users are being c

On my Iphone how do I map LTE on Sensorly?

 

You can't map with an iPhone, only an Android device.

 

I hit LTE (didn't have a chance to do a speed test) on Dean and University.. mapped it on Sensorly.

 

Not sure if it was already mapped previously but it died off a bit before Highway 50... I also mapped a bit on Econ and Highway 50 but the speeds were really slow and it didn't last long.

I have a question on Sensorly how do you know if you actually "Mapped" anything? I did I-4 from like Maitland to the rest area heading East. I had it running, but I noticed some other people here said they mapped it as well. Good to see its spreading though ! (Also I do have an android so I know its possible to map)

Good to see it spreading again. Please heads towards the Lake Mary area. A tower was live a couple of weeks ago for a short time, been off since. Sprint said a tower in Sanford was being worked on, have not seen anything yet. I hope it can spread this way soon!

No Orlando? That sucks. How much longer is it going to be? Does anyone know?

 

That article is pointless. Nothing new happened recently in those markets. LTE has been live in all three for months. Service areas grow more and more every week.

 

Orlando is an active deployment area. Lots of crews working in the area. As each site completes, it goes live for customer traffic. More and more sites go live in the Orlando market every week.

 

In the Sponsor area of our site we have maps that show new sites. And it is updated every few days.

Thanks Robert.

 

Where do I find the Sponsor area of the site? I am new to this and just joined a few hours ago.

Have you seen any work in the Universal area? That's where I live and I constantly check for work on the cell towers around here but have seen nothing so far.

 

Check the Sensorly map. There's some activity around the Disney area.

Thanks! I was just at Disney a couple of weeks ago and the service was horrendous to say the least. I have a Galaxy Note 2 and my battery almost died and my 3G was non existent. I was very disappointed as I've read posts about others that they were able to receive LTE there. I would have to assume that it they were not lit up when I went.

I was at Disney this weekend Did a bit more mapping at Epcot and MK it was great to have usable speeds. Looks like the new radios in the recent update fixed my phone from latching on to LTE without having to toggle Airplane Mode.

Do you have any screenshots of your speeds? I see that you live in Winter Garden. Have you picked up any LTE there?

Nothing in Winter Garden atm, there are two towers in town near my location, but I have not seen any work done on them yet. Data speeds are Acceptable here tho usually pulling 1-2 mbps on 3g

 

there ya go MK speed test outside the Entrance

Did not get a Screenshot but speeds were around 8-10 mbps. Nothing in Winter Garden atm, there are two towers in town near my location, but I have not seen any work done on them yet. Data speeds are Acceptable here tho usually pulling 1-2 mbps on 3g

 

Cool thanks.

I don't get that. LTE had to have been turned off when I went a couple of weeks ago. If I would have picked up LTE, maybe my battery wouldn't have died so quickly. I didn't even have service while waiting for most of the rides.

I saw workers at a tower on Lake Underhill between BJs and the fire station this afternoon. According to AntennaSearch.com, this is a Nextel tower. The guys had antenna panels in their hands and there were a couple of lines hanging from the tower.

I would love to see one of those towers go live soon. The first one is near Seminole State College / UCF also near the courthouse and jail. Which happens to be right be me, so I would freaking love to see that tower live.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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?
