I didn't get anything down curryford. I live cypress springs area and went down curry ford to alafaya and no 4g yet. So close but not yet. The tower I saw in Avalon is incredibly huge so that tower has some long range coverage I'm guessing that's why its out in bithlo and alafaya and lake Underhill.

 

Sensorly is showing a faint signal at the entrance to Cypress Springs at Curry Ford.

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 was just out in Waterford lakes at 7:00pm. I did a service update and caught LTE for a brief 3 seconds or so before going back to 3G. I was connected to the faint tower from Avalon while I was over there. Apparently the tower closest to that area hasn't gotten an LTE upgrade yet.

I live pretty close to the area in Avalon that has LTE on the Sensorly maps and I drove all through the outside of Avalon and up Curry Ford where they "claim" there is LTE and got absolutely nothing at all.

 

I don't know if the HTC EVO 4G LTE has issues w/ LTE (I've heard this in the past, but never had LTE to know for sure), but I didn't get so much as a blip.

 

I was also in Waterford Lakes for hours yesterday and didn't so much a see a blip.

 

That said, I work on the west side of town and have definitely seen 3G speed improvements in areas where I used to have barely any data-speed at all.

 

Has anyone gotten LTE in Orlando w/ the HTC EVO 4G LTE? I'm beginning to think this phone is a dud!

Same thing happened with me a week ago when I walked up Alafaya right through the LTE coverage area shown on Sensorly. The first time, I was only on 3G, and then my 2nd and 3rd trips up to work, I had LTE. I wouldn't doubt that Sprint is turning the LTE towers on and off throughout the course of several days of testing before keeping them permanently on. Based on what I'be seen on the map lately, I would expect to see consistent LTE speeds in Avalon within the next 2 weeks or so. I also wouldn't expect LTE to hit downtown Orlando until February or March.

I hope it spreads over towards Sanford/Lake Mary soon.. Soo close to Oviedo, but we shall see. Coverage is getting better daily, but 3G speeds are HORRENDOUS in the Lake Mary area.. I dont get more than .3 down .1 up =/ so I use wifi almost whenever I can.. Hell when I am in Seminole Mall, it takes forever for me to be able to load a webpage on my phone when I have full bars, good voice connection, terrible data connection

Excellent, that makes perfect sense.

 

Thank you for the info!

Driving down I-4 exit 92 I saw tower work... Appeared to be antennas and rru's being installed sat am... They were using a man lift instead of climbing....

I saw them working on that tower on Friday already, also using the lift. Looked like the antennas and other equipment was already there, looked like they were checking the cables coming down from the antennas.

Is that in Altamonte?

Anyone know how long it takes sensorly maps to update? I maped over 600 Lte points today, nothing on the maps yet.

I'd think possibly a day or two? Where did you map them?

 

In a new area?

 

They generally updated within 15 or 30 minutes, but there are many different zoom layers that have to be re-rendered, so sometimes it can take a while. Usually within an hour or two, you will see your new data show up. Occasionally there are hiccups where it takes longer. Take steps to make sure your phone is uploading your data points, and if it still doesn't show up, then there may be some work going on on the server side.

Thanks

At work i would usually get extremely slow response from 3G but the last month the speed has been dramatically better.

 

It is strange, it isn't even the actual speed per-say but apps load data so much faster on my device..

 

Hopeful LTE is on the horizon... but even the better 3g helps!

Upsets me to see Third round markets destroying progress in Orlando which was a "second" round.. must be major backhaul here

 

When looking at the Sprint site it shows a lot of the towers in the area with "Data Speed Upgrades"

 

Isn't that the backhaul? So you'd think a lot of the towers already have this completed. That said, I could be grossly incorrect in my thinking.

You could be correct, I have not checked the Sprint site in a while, I generally check here and Sensorly. If a lot of sites HAVE been done, I hope they flip the switch soon, BC checking that out, 2 towers close to me have gotten upgrades. I guess time will tell. It is slowly growing here, I am just impatient being white close to LTE sightings, but just a little bit out of reach :(

Same I am like less than 5 miles from where they have LTE currently... it sucks!

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
