Is the tower by the mall live? I didn't think it was up yet, but havent been that way in a little

no not let but I pick up LTE at the mall all the time, its usually last about 30 second. And when I get off I4 I get it on the ramp by the mall. I think i could happened 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

Probably so they can pay a little less subsidy. That is the general direction carriers want to go, and the S4 will likely be popular enough that they can get away with it.

I'm guessing the next iPhone will be the same. That suck pay more for a phone you cant use to it's full potential.

I took a trip to the Walmart Neighborhood Market and my service was the same as before. Very poor signal with 3G only. Do you think maybe they were just testing it because like you said it's a deadzone for Sprint in that area.

Very possibly. I know when I first started getting it in Winter Park near Lakemont elementary school (I'm there once a week also) it was spotty and would bounce between 3g and lte while I was sitting there. Next time I go the the Walmart Plaza I'll check it again.

 

You shouldn't have to do anything for lte like rebooting and such....well unless you have it turned off in settings. If 4g is available my note has always grabbed it rather quickly.

Might be a radio difference between the note 2 and s3. Usually if it's going to pick it up it takes between 5 and 15 min and if not then I get to reboot.

You're so right. Didn't even think about the S3 to be honest. ..I'm always in the note 2 forums and forget which one I'm in sometimes thinking everyone is on the note 2. Gf has the S3, I'll have to bring hers with me next time and see if there is a difference.

Yea I wish I knew how adjust the lte settings (scan times, signal strength etc.) like I used to do on the S2 wimax. Never bothered to learn since there was no lte.. lol! Guess I'll have to learn now.

I totally agree, I often forget anyone has a phone other than the one I have. I also used to tweak my WiMax settings to take advantage of the extremely limited coverage I used to have, but I do wish there was a "check for LTE" shortcut or something so that I didn't have to toggle Airplane Mode or occasionally reboot just to get a signal. Oh well, first world problems.

Great, "within the coming months!" Now lets all go grab $250 S4s and spend half our contract on Sprint's unlimited 2G network until the rollout is complete in Orlando.

 

Some news is better than none. Finally good to see progress though.

I think everyone wishes the LTE rollout was further along than it is, but I'll take any victory I can get. I won't switch to VZW or AT&T for LTE and lose unlimited data, and TMO has some spotty coverage in my area.

Didn't you guys already know this? ;) a quick scan of sensorly is much easier than reading this list.

I think it's more that an announced timeline, however loose, gives hope that we will see the light of LTE across most of Orlando soonish.

Not really. My city was on a list back in September. 2 sites in January and 1 this month. It is just a press release and does not have any impact on the rollout nor can it predict if it jumps ahead of schedule or delayed.

 

So maybe a stupid question, but does this imply that LTE signal is present but not discoverable? uploadfromtaptalk1366311976408.jpg

 

No, you should have a mcc mnc code too.

Here's hoping, and thanks for the clarification :-)

Feel that way about Winter Garden :P

Well at this point I'd love to have Ocoee be where Winter Garden is. At least parts of it have LTE. I don't count the quarter mile of colonial that is getting it from the tower past the Turnpike. :-)

Anyone know if tower

OR03XC045

 

is backhaul complete? There are times I get great service, and times it is super terrible. Pings go as low as 94ms to as high as 400ish.

 

ETA: The timings of when things are good/bad seem to be random, as there are both day and night times where I see wild swings of performance.

You may want to remove the tower id and put street names instead.

was out and about in the city yesterday, got some pics. First one is the tower on Bennett and E.Colonial, just south of Baldwin Park. Noticed a few differences with the tower config since the last time I was there, though I wasn't able to get a closer look.

Second tower is behind the Winter Park Police Department, and it so far has a whole lot of nothing.

Has anyone noticed any LTE progress over the past 2 weeks in the Orlando market? Between all the driving I do with my work and private life I have been unable to find any new LTE towers coming on-line. I'm not sure if progress has hit a snag or Sprint is just waiting to "fire up" several towers all at once. On the other hand, I have been checking numerous tower locations throughout the market and have not seen any progress at those specific sites.

I gotta say, other than the site far on West Colonial getting LTE, it does seem like progress has slowed significantly. Don't know if it's a backhaul thing or like you said they're trying to flip multiple towers at a time (perhaps to keep any single tower from being overloaded)?

      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?
