So no B26 near Disney World/Kissimmee or does that area have it?

I'm going to epcot on Saturday for the food and wine festival. I will let you know. Last time I was there it was only b25, which actually does pretty good outside but waiting in lines results in 0 signal.

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

So what band(s) are in the Daytona area and how would I go about finding out that information? I know that service is at it's best when the track (Daytona International Speedway) is in sight. I'm assuming that's because of Sprint's sponsorship of the NASCAR Cup Series.

In Daytona, there is for sure at least b25 since it is a launched market. Depending on your phone, you can check with field test mode(dial *#3001#12345#*) on your iPhone or get signal check pro on your android and it will tell you what band you are currently connected too. Or become a premium sponsor and this information will be fully available to you.

Sprint has been busy in this area. Users with tri-band devices should notice the difference. I just drove from Gainesville through Deland to Daytona and had LTE most of the trip.

Thanks! That's good news. I live in Port Orange and have an iPhone 6 which is a Tri-Band device. Since I got my iP6 I have noticed that where I previously saw LTE, I now see better/faster LTE coverage, but sadly I still see 3G far too often. Mostly on the west side (west of I-95). If you're on the beach or near the race track it's all LTE all the time.

Report this with the Sprint Zone app.  I'm pretty sure Sprint realizes they need more sites out west, but it can't hurt to send reminders.

 

Overall coverage is much better than it used to be.  There are a lot of spots that used to be roaming that now have native coverage out West.

 

Also capacity seemed fine at the Wings & Waves air show.

Haha. I love that from the alafaya entrance in to 408 all the way to the kirkman exit, it is now almost completely blue dots on root metrics. I am going to populate this city with blue dots everywhere!

Happy to say that the service at Disney was consistently much more reliable and usable than at universal. Both Hollywood studios and animal kingdom had usable LTE throughout the park. The most interesting is that it was b25 in most places, and very fast for how many people where there....

I just had full bars and b26 at the light of Waterford lakes pkwy and alafaya right before the plaza.... With that mystical site. If it's the site on top of the raddison, perhaps they decided to update it with b26 for capacity reasons! Took LONG ENOUGH

 

Edit: I am most surprised because of how strong the signal was... And I clocked about 7 down at 5:30 in the afternoon so it's clearly doing its job correctly. Now I have to figure out which site that is! Omg this is good. If they optimize it I might actually have service through my home.

Here we are. It was switching between these so often that I had difficulty getting a screenshot. At least every 10 seconds it was on a new site. b70a20be89d3706986565b70ba7f3202.jpg9d7f8d15a98f372f44bcd7e0dbd3ee73.jpg11c682ad16b00eec0595e5db17803d6b.jpgd69b652e98da9814829e22a1df85bc64.jpga43d2b6f73adfb61350cfe067d4726ef.jpg

Does your phone stay on b41 more than b26?

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It could not decide what to do. It was back and forth, and it even went over to b25 on site 84. (also picked up b26 on site 84 but I am used to that site). Out of curiosity I went to the front of my apartment complex where my apartment faces and it locked onto b41 and stayed there. Didn't stay outside long enough to test and see if it would switch to b26 again, but I am pretty sure it would've.

 

I don't know how big of an issue this is, but it creates some havoc with my phone. Even now inside I have -114 dbm on b26 on site 244, but I feel like the interference between that, and my airave, and the other random sites that are popping up is causing some issues.

 

My brother is going to check to see if there is a new tower behind the publix when he gets back from class. He told me there were ericcson trucks over there the other day and forgot to mention it to me. He also said there is a tower, which isn't on our maps.

Nevermind

 

Edit: After plotting it out on google maps, it looks like this site may have less interference than the site I usually connect too. Unfortunately it seems to be very congested right now, or they are still in the tuning process. Time will tell.

      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?
