Yes, dean and curry ford has been done as well as the Christmas tower and the Daytona tower. I wonder if they will all go on at the same time. They all are reportedly completed but not active. Ive seen the tower on curry ford and goldenrod and it has a birds nest on top so that tower has no chance of being upgraded anytime soon.

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

Wait, so the tower on Dean and Curry Ford is done but has birds nests on it? Would that still stop them from activating it?

Is Sprint building a new tower in Port Orange, FL (Daytona Beach area)?

 

Today as I was driving home from work I noticed that a new cell tower was being constructed. Now I'm wondering if the tower is going to be a Sprint tower. I did some research online and this is what I found. Hopefully you guys can help me figure out who's building this new monopole tower.

 

Found permits today for that location, Address is 1601 Madeline Ave, Port Orange, FL not 4015 S. Williamson blvd..

Looks to be strictly AT&T / New Cingular Wireless. Ill keep an eye out to see if a tenant gets added; But I believe this is just a mirror of the tower that's further south toward Taylor / Williamson. :(

Are you sure the Madeline address is the new tower that was just built out by Town Park. When I mapped the address I was sent to the intersection of Madeline & Nova. I'm pretty sure the tower by Town Park is located at 4015 S. Williamson Ave.

Picked up some more LTE on Aloma ave a little bit ago, speedtest was less than 500kbps (which was kinda funny considering that's how slow sprints 3G has been). Had to toggle airplane mode about three times before it came on.

Okay great! Also please link the page containing the inspection photos.

No. The dean and curry ford tower does not have a birds nest. Goldenrod and curry ford has the birds nest.

Oh ok, so the Dean and Curry Ford is done just hasn't been turned on yet.

 

Boy that tower is HUGE, I think it'd have a lot of coverage once on. It'd pretty much fill the gap between the Avalon tower for UCF/Vista Lakes area... can't wait.

Just upgraded from a Photon 4G to the Galaxy S3. I have decent LTE inside my apartment on UCF campus, but it isnt as good as the Wimax signal I had with the Photon. Speeds are about the same as wimax, however I have gotten up to 12mbps on wimax. Hoping sprint fires up LTE on the cell tower outside my wkmdow where they have a 3g and wimax antenna. Will keep you guys updated!

It's pretty impressive that you can get the same performance out of a weaker distant LTE signal than a close by and strong WiMax. It will likely get even better when a closer site goes live.

Have a feeling another tower in Sanford went live. I walked outside and had really good 4G, usually only 1 bar, or 4 bars 3g (depending on tower I connect too) but had full LTE bars and got a 25mbs down speed test. going to try and go to tower site I believe it is and look (by Seminole Courthouse on 17-92 in Sanford)

Are you able to map your Lte experience using Sensorly? Also, I believe the tower located behind the VW lot on 17-92 is utilized by Sprint. Nextel and T-mobile use the other nearby tower located on the north/east side of the Flea Market property. I was hoping Sprint might use that one for Lte service.

Whenever I map for some reason, it won't show up. I have a feeling it nay be the new ROM im using (The Peoples ROM) for some reason won't let me, or my phones being weird. On "map trip" ill map 400+ 4G spots, but they never seem to show up.

LTE has gone live in parts of St. Cloud, Harmony, and Holopaw. I mapped some of the areas on Sensorly in the Harmony/Holopaw area a few weeks ago. I will map St.Cloud tomorrow. I live off Narcoosee Rd. in St.Cloud and have great LTE signal as of a few days ago.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By JossMan · Posted

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      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.

      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.
