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

I guess it's progress lol

it's probably overwhelmed. Or they are testing it. Haha no clue. Wish I had my

iPhone 5 when I went to Puerto Rico would have loved to see how fast of a download I could get.

Well. Lets hope that with the new Softbank deal all done and complete, they can dedicate everything to getting the 4g lte network up and running. It would be a good idea to have it done before apple releases the next iPhone. Don't want to miss all those subscribers who go to ATT or verizon.

I agree. Particularly because I am one of those 4S users that is anxious about the new iPhone release and Sprint's network. I have held on since last year when I heard about NV in hopes of change. But if I don't see improvement on the 3G side, I along with a lot of other iPhone users will be jumping ship.

Agreed. I unfortunately had to buy the iPhone 5( and restart my contract)  3 months before I was due for an upgrade thanks to my iphone thinking it was a dolphin, and was very very excited for the 5s... Now I have no choice but to stick with sprint. I think all the extra cash flow from soft bank and hopefully more acquisition of clearwire too will allow them to speed up rollout. 

 

Finally, we might actually have a major competitor against ATT and Verizon. I could easily see Sprint being the #1 carrier in a few years if they pick up the pace and maintain the unlimited data.  B)

Agreed. Have you seen much LTE around Orlando? If you have, do you see it consistent yet or is it still off and on? It's tough for me to judge because I am still on the 4S and only have 3G. So I am basing my results on the NV 3G rollout.

Um....It's very inconsistent. What I have been finding is that when it switches to LTE, there is no data connection. And that is bad because imessage runs through data so my messages get screwed up. I get LTE here and there around waterford lakes plaza, and when driving around, but it never seems to establish a connection. Was at Universal and Islands of Adventure this weekend, and had literally no service the entire time...like a black zone over there.

 

Also, its not many bars, normally at most 3 bars, but typically around 1 bar is what I get. So...Its there, and they are probably still prepping. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw LTE in the next few weeks according to what AVMAU (user) has been saying...that most of the sites are prepped and its only a matter of time.

 

Just added a picture. That is sitting in my apartment on the 3rd floor. I switch off my wifi, and then it stays LTE  with 1 bar for a moment and pops back to 3G after a few seconds and I have 4 bars.

Yea once I leave the house (wifi) my phone is grabbing LTE all around me now. But there is no data so I keep getting the no data connection or lost connection..kinda getting frustrating..

Water! water! everywhere yet not a drop to drink!

I have my phone switching between EVDO and EHRPD every few minutes or so. I have Signalcheck Pro but the area it says as the location for the BSL I'm quite certain is incorrect, as I pass by there everyday and there is nothing there but a plot of unused land.

I don't know what's been going on lately, but starting this past Thursday, 6/26/2013, my 3G and voice have been completely nonfunctional pretty much everywhere on and around UCF campus, southern Oviedo, and University Blvd to 417. I'm assuming NV and LTE rollouts are to blame, but I'm not really sure.

Same here, I travel all over Orlando for work and all down 17-92 to 434 to University I had the 'O'. Every where I had service in the past is basically gone lol.

 

Crossing my fingers its due to the LTE rollout.

I've experienced the same thing curry ford and dean tower is down. The curry ford tower is only evdo.a also I have been roaming a lot more than usually and ehrpd hasnt been available.

 

Would this have anything to do with the nextel shutdown?

New tower went up on sensorly, OBT and central Florida pkwy. And the turn pike as LTE now as well, so I'm getting like a bar of LTE randomly in my house now off of wetherbee. Can't wait. And if Orlando is announced Monday, that would be awesome but I don't know if they would just randomly turn that many cell sites on at one time?

This was 4/28/13 morning on the turnpike near the Osceola Parkway exit and going @ 75mph... I would say this is very nice...

      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.
