Sprint is also the slowest at Universal. I checked. Verizon at one point was 70mbps At&t was between 13-25mbps, Tmobile 8-12 due to weak signal and Sprint band 25 was 0.10, band 26 0.60, clearwire band 41 2-5 mbps. Sprint has a long ways to go at these theme parks.

CAn't wait until they get b41 at disney. And yeh...when I go to unviversal its all airplane mode and wifi. There is no point in having my cellular data on.

I still don't understand why Sprint hasn't given Universal more attention. For the last 4 years data usability has pretty much been horrible there!

 

What has always irked me is that there are only 2 NV towers within a mile or so of the resort in addition to the Clearwire site across Kirkman which barely reaches inside the parks. Seems like the site spacing around there was designed without the existence of Universal in mind.

I was able to get At&t CA and Verizon XLTE throughout most of the park while T-Mobile and Sprint are not very good. T-Mobile is worse on signal. Sprint is the worst with Speed often under a mb. So I agree that Sprint doesn't care about Universal. Its funny because they are much better at Busch Gardens.

They probably couldn't get rights to deploy within the area and had to use macro coverage. That happens a lot more than you would think.

Does anybody find it weird that Orlando has been lacking in 4g lte speeds for years yet Denver got LTE last year and now they're number one. Congrats to Denver

Thats incredible considering they used to be the absolute worst.

If only they could bring the same love to Florida...

It's pretty good here in Orlando. I mean b41 is everywhere here though. Without it, we would be in trouble. 

 

Side note: I was having some issues with data today. Not sure if that was a temporary thing or related to the new iOS update I just did.

I can't wait to upgrade later this year. I'm stuck on b26 90% of the time sub 1mbps , how are speeds on the east side?

Well I can look out the window and see the tower in avalon and I sit on b41 all day...so my speeds are pretty great. Driving through the city is mostly b41 but it does drop out to 25 and 26 sometimes. When I was on my way back to my house today I somehow got stuck on b25 at a red light and was wondering why an email wouldn't load...it then switched over to b41, but I personally think it should've been much quicker, and I should've never been on b25 at all in the first place. It was extremely congested.

We are definitely lacking fill in here. T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon have been adding towers all over town and no sign of Sprint expansion. I know it coming eventually, but it's still a shame when they could be doing much better. So I sits and I waits.... Lol hopefully my nexus 6 coming will help too. I hear it performs better than my G3.

It does. It performs even better on tmobile than Sprint. It is a band 4 and band 12 monster!

I haven't been posting as much as I used too. Probably due to just enjoying the network now that it is functional for me in almost all places I go. What is everyones current experiences? Tampa? Jacksonville? Anywhere else.. Even down south while I was in Jupiter FL, I was picking up b26 inside a friends place while she had no service. 

 

 

I've noticed that I am rarely off LTE anymore and can almost always find b41 except in certain places (for now). I have "crystal clear" voice calls with anyone I call on Sprint. Funny that I called someone from T-mobile yesterday and the call quality was so horrible I could barely understand a word. I then called a sprint phone and the difference was night and day. My data speeds are good in almost all places I go. Even when I get bumped to 3g the service is fine. I am a satisfied customer. I give it it a 7/10 right now and I assume with b41 densification it will quickly go up to 9/10.

Universal now has a Sprint Nokia site online throughout most of the park. Previously it was a clearwire site, unusable band 25 and a barely usable band 26. Speeds were good. Here is some info. Clearwire 41 ae0b4cddeddc8ac5b29a21e95a3eb86f.jpg

Hey, anything is better than unusable data.

True. I was there in January and only the clearwire site was active so this had to be a recent upgrade. Clearwire on busy days was unusable so let's see what happens now.

    • 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?
