The link you posted is the one I had looked at. Orlando is not there. I also don't see much progress in the LTE Deployment Running list forum and there is nothing even "in progress" on the NV Sites Complete map for Ericsson. Keep in mind Disney is not Orlando, it is not even in the same county.

 

Thanks for all the responses.

 

You keep in mind that Disney is in the Orlando market. Sprint is upgrading the WHOLE market, which means Orlando is seeing upgrades, they just aren't live. We don't get information on every 'in progress' site, just ones where Robert has a source, or a member sees work going on.

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 all the info is member-reported? I did not realize that. Thanks for the info!

 

A lot of the in-progress info is member reported. However, occasionally Robert does get info from a source as to which towers are in progress, but only some of them. We definitely do not have info on all in-progress towers.

Yea Disney is definitely part of Orlando. 20 or so minutes south of downtown.

When it comes to "In Progress" sites in the NV Sites Complete map, about half are from sources and half are from members. And only a fraction of the actual In Progress sites around the country are shown. Maybe 10% or so would be my guess.

 

If I learn about a site in progress, I mark it on the maps.

I saw some workers on two towers in Hobe Sound a few weeks back and when they left it looked like network vision equipment had been installed, however no 4g. Then this morning I got a wonderful surprise, they must have flipped on the switch. So I opened up sensorly and mapped it. I’ll do some more exploring later today after work.

Wow, I can see quite a stretch of 4G purple in Oviedo. :tu:

 

That was me, I saw the 4G icon this morning and started to run sensorly to log it in. I just signed up today to report this 4G signal, but have been looking over this forum for a little bit to stay caught up on LTE

I got notification of the Oviedo tower yesterday and put it up on the maps and posted it in the NV Sites Complete comments yesterday. I'm glad someone was able to go map it.

I just put my first blip on the sensorly map at Gaylord Palms by International Dr. and Osceola Parkway. I can't believe I lost 4G before I did a speed test. How are the speeds like so far? 15-20 down 5 up or so?

 

With a really strong signal, it can be up to 37.5Mbps DL and 15Mbps UL. 20-25Mbps speeds are common. If you have less than 10Mbps, then you likely have a weak LTE signal.

Faint LTE signal just showed up a few hundred feet from my house. And in Oviedo, coverage seems to be expanding A LOT faster than it did at Disney. It looks like all of us will be seeing initial coverage in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

Question relating to Orlando and 3G. I only have a 3G phone and keep looking at the 4G locations for hope 3G will also be improved.

 

After looking at root metrics maps, how is it that Sprint can have 1Mbps then 0Mbps less than 100 feet away? Is this due to back haul issues or mapping at different times in the day?

 

When looking at Verizon / ATT they are very consistent. Sprint seems to be all over the map with Green to Grey strength signals. Just curious as to the cause and if we believe Network Vision will improve on this.

3G improvements have not yet started in Orlando. 3G will be improved as part of Network Vision, but for some reason the company doing to upgrades in Orlando has not started the 3G work yet.

 

Network speed tests that you see on Root Metrics can vary a lot, even in the same place. Speeds can vary from very slow during the day, to pushing 1-1.5Mbps at night. So most likely what you are seeing is differences due to mapping at different times of day or week. NV will help to even that out. It will also give a slight boost to signal strength, and make that more even across the area too.

This is a Gaylord Hotels property, right? That name has become the butt of jokes because of Gaylord Focker and this...

 

I've been trying to quit drinking. The other day I drank a 12-pack of O'Doul's, and I went riding around in my car and I got pulled over by a cop. He's like, "Son, have you been drinking?" And I'm like, "Uh, sort of." he said, "What have you been drinking?" and I said "O'Doul's, nonalcoholic beer." And he wrote me a ticket for being a gaylord.

 

:P

Patterns? No. Things are still moving in the Orlando market. I imagine you will see sites start going live in both cities in the next 30-60 days.

Talking about hitting the nail right square on the head. Activity in both places and all over in general. Thanks Robert!!

I just uploaded 1 more site as In Progress in the Orlando market over in the NV Sites Complete maps. It is located in a rural area off US 27 between Clermont and WDW. This site is actually accepted as complete with 4G Network Vision upgrades and will appear in next week's update.

I was out for a drive today and picked up 4G on Avlon Rd near Malcom Rd. Sensorly read 9 points 4G and over 1200 points 3G.

Unfortunatly after I turned around to head back towards Disney, Sensorly Crashed and when I re started all the pionts were gone. After that I got some points by Avlon and Seidel Rd and most of the rest just confermed 4G in the Disney area.

At least I now know 4G works on my rooted Note 2

 

Did a speed test in the disney area, best was 12.39Mbps down and 11.88Mbps up.

 

1st attempt at posting some screenshots.

Hi where I live my phone signal was messing up and my 3g data wad slowing down alot so my mom called sprint and they said the towers were at 57% and that crews were fixing the towers does that mean they are installing 4g? The sprint rep on the phone said in 3 days it would be fixed

      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

      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?
