At universal. Still only see 2 band 25 carriers instead of a 10x10. Sprint is really fast thanks to the dos and signal is amazing. Tmobile is less than 1 mbps on hspa+ and lte band 4. I havent pickee up band 12 yet. Signal is bad too. They need dos asap.

 

You stay thirsty for that Dos, my friend.

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

Anyone been to Universal Studios recently? Looks like T-Mobile is having a hard time there.

Wonder how Sprint does.

I was at Universal in mid October the service was slow but usable. I believe Sprint has band 26, 2 carriers of band 25, and 2 carriers of band 41. So the park has plenty of capacity.

They have 2 band 25 carriers and band 26 das only at Universal somewhere by diagon alley. Islands of Adverture and City Walk only have a single 5x5 band 25 and band 26. There is band 41 clearwire with one carrier coming from somewhere another clearwire with CA coming from somewhere and a Sprint Ca site also. Sprint went from absolute garbage to pretty damn good in the last year. I only had problems with that single carrier clear site which crawled at 1mbps during most hours. I went last month and observed the network heavily. I will say that I end up disabling band 41 because of that site. Also the das system I never got speeds less than 15mbps.

Most people in the Disney World parks are are on capped data plans so they are using the free, no sign-in required, Disney WiFi which seems to run well enough to use it in most places in the parks.  It is more than fast enough to use the Disney app and whatever else you want to do on your mobile device.  That leaves all the mobile providers working quite well in the area since most everyone at the parks is off loaded to WiFi.

So, I visited Orlando this past weekend for my brother's graduation and I must say Sprint was very congested almost the entire time I was there.  Even on B41, I couldn't get anything higher than 1mbps.  I'm sure some of it was due to the memorial day weekend and people all going to Disney/vacation, etc.  I think I connected to a second B41 carrier (as it appeared in signal check pro), but I wasn't able to confirm if CA was enabled or not on my N5x.  Sprint could use that 3rd carrier asap.

Nope. It has just been like that pretty much everywhere. It sucks.

Drove from south florida disney world. Saw all lte, on b41 until indian river county, with b25 and b26 in areas where it was 3G before. Definitely something was done in the last couple months. Signal never got above 110 db.

 

Epcot was great. Had b41 outdoor, b25 or b26 indoor. I was inside the japan area of Epcot, ran speedtest and got 23 down and 8 up on b25. Data was great. I was able to check for wait times and switch rides with my fastpass the whole day.

Yep Orlando is a great market for all carriers. You may have had a 10x10 b25 and didnt notice

I was at Disney about a year ago and Sprint, even on B25 was really good there.

When I was at Universal I checked b41 and the das system on b25/26 consistently outperformed b41.

Interesting to see how much coverage will be improved for Orlando after the retuning starting in July.

10x10 found in Plymouth area today. No B41 to back it up so it was still congested. There is alot of b41 sites around it though. Going down 441 from the Villages all the way to Orlando most sites had b41. I was shocked. Go North of the Villages and there is no b41 for literally over 100 miles. Jacksonville market gets zero attention but any city in Orlando market gets attention.65007049dc21b598b35610744be04b7b.jpge2a8164ca2c272825850ef468a571e52.jpg8ad2cd29dbf76f71515a973caa431ed7.jpg

So, in the last ~3 months or so, it looks like Sprint's been busy.  According to RootMetric's reports, Sprint's rated #2 in Orlando now.

It's almost the same rankings as 1st half of 2016.

 

Not much progress in the rankings, if you asked me, but I would like to see more small cells and 3xCA in Orlando early next year when I visit.

Thos speeds are too high for band 25. Unless it was band 41? Screenshot shows 25.

The time, 6 hours (at least, don't know when the SS was done) prior.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
