Is it typical for a deploying area to loose 3G ?

Yes! Loose the dogs of war, EV-DO, and LTE.

At least the tower by the Branch Jail puts out 1.7-2.5 down constantly. Definite LTE here with sensorly. Nice to see sprint getting it done here, even with the angry birds :)

Would but the old police station is next to it and they still use the gas pumps behind it, plus the tower is covered in PTZ cameras, i've seen one follow me when I walked around the parking lot. They do have it quite watched..

 

I think the birds know it. Probably the safest place to nest on the Volusia Coast.

For years the birds learned that Sprint towers were the safest place to go to avoid human contact. :D

According to the (phone) maps this is in the Orlando area, although for everything else this is in the Tampa Bay area? I figured i would post this here as well..

 

"Did a 3 mile walk and map today in Circle B Bar Reserve today. Its kinda week but its there. Speed tests came in at Avg 5+ down and 1.5 up. Not the best but way better than it was before. its nice to see."

When it comes to the the area from Ormond Beach to Port Orange, where exactly are the Sprint towers located. I've done several tower searches online, but none of the towers are owned by Sprint. There all owned by other companies  So Where exactly are the Sprint towers?

I doubt you will find many towers owned by the actual carriers anymore these days, the ones owned by a specific carrier end up being monopole and only have that carrier(at least the only ones here in port orange are AT&T), sprint in most areas lease space off towers owned by companies like Crown Castle or American Tower..

 

But if you are talking about current upgrades and future n.v. scheduled towers; you'd have to be a sponsor..

I have to say, as I drove out to UCF I picked up some good LTE, particularly on colonial drive near the DMV (13Mbps Up, 6 Down), but as I got into 105-110 dbm signal strength, I can't even break 1Mbps down, and this is after updating Profile/PRL and rebooting even. Is the LTE at Waterford this bad for everyone else?

 

Edit: Apparently it can get much worse. I'm now getting LTE speeds that are sub 100kbps. Hopefully they're just doing tower work or something, because wow.

I usually cant get any LTE south of 50 on Alafaya. It seems to end right at the Bahama Breeze.

 

Gotcha, it's definitely LTE in name only here at Waterford. The tower on Colonial clearly wasn't meant to cover Waterford fully or has a lot of work ahead of it.

That's for sure. I am on the 3rd floor of my apartment building and can't get service right across from waterford town center......

I had to lose my jailbreak, so I can't approximate tower locations anymore :(

 

But, driving down Colonial from Econlockhatchee to Lake Pickett Rd, I kept 2-3 bars on LTE the entire time, with being at full bars from Dean to Alafaya.

 

Also I got 2 bars on LTE out on my porch for the first time, but it went back to 3G again lol what a tease. Good to have this pace back up and running again.

Yesterday since I live in Port Orange and found myself on beachside in Ormond I decided to map A1A from Ormond Beach (Granada Ave) to Ponce Inlet Point Park. For much of my mapping journey I was able to get LTE, but as soon as I went south of Dunlawton Ave & A1A that LTE signal ended. Hopefully my mapping efforts are all ready showing up on Sensorly.

Currently getting up to 9mbps download & 3mbps upload with 4 bars on LTE at Colonial Dr. & Avalon Park Blvd. First time getting good LTE coverage on that side of Avalon Park.

That tower has 4g now. Before it was just the tower in front of timber creek high.

I'm pretty new to what's going on; what's the best summary that you guys can give for what's currently happening in Orlando, particularly the east/UCF side? I'm about to get a 4g LTE enabled device, and I was wondering what info you guys could give me.

What's the connection quality? Hold ups? When is a likely announcement date for deployment?

Thanks guys, I love this site!

Considering I live fairly close to there near the waterford town center, the data speed on this side of town is literally at a crawl in most places. Good news is that it shows they they have been doing upgrades around the towers in that area, including the one located near the campus. I was near that area today and had full bars, but my data connection was no more than .30 mb download...

 

Hopefully they will have these towers up and running full time in the next month or so. I wonder if anyone has any information of the status.

This tower is live on Colonial right near Hiawassee. The sprint rack must be fairly low to the ground, as the range heading north down Apopka Vineland seems fairly weak. Surprised it hasn't ended up on any acceptance reports yet.

    • 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.
    • 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?
