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 just went out for a quick drive around the area and did find LTE. It's mapped on Sensorly. I will drive around some more tomorrow to see where the signal ends in all directions.

Was that you on Rockledge Blvd?

Yes. I plan on looking south of where Wildman was, tomorrow.

 

Just looking at the current Sensorly map and your Speedtest screenshots earlier, I suspect that the source of your LTE signal might be found around the Sensorly hotspot about 2-3 miles to the northwest of your track on Rockledge Blvd. It is pretty clear from both Sensorly and your own screenshots that you did not have a very strong LTE signal where you were, even though your CDMA 1x signal -- as shown on your status screen and notification bar -- was quite decent from a different, nearby tower. (And once again, I gently suggest that it would help if you gain access to the Sponsor maps so you will know where to look for the Sprint tower sites. That really saves a lot of time and guesswork.)

Anyone want to chime in here? based on Wildman, Sloppy,and someone unknown who should be part of this site this may be one tower lighting up this area likely where the darker shade is located. I do wonder about the blip at the port though. There is a site in that area but I'm assuming the port blip would be a darker shade even if just one sector was working. If Sprint were being strategic I would have that one on full blast so people from other parts of the country that were leaving for cruises would have a taste of whats coming soon. That's why I'M surprised Disney or Orlando isnt lit up

Looking at all the available evidence -- Sensorly tracks, the screenshots upthread and the all-important Sponsor maps that show the actual tower locations -- I think it is more than clear that there is only one live LTE site discovered anywhere in the vicinity so far. Wildman located it easily, apparently with the aid of the Sponsor maps, but properly did not identify the Sprint tower ID in this public thread . All the other tracks in the area just confirm that coverage pattern around the site, and confirm that no LTE registers at any other nearby Sprint tower. (Almost certainly, that could be verified empirically with the aid of the LTE Engineering screens to compare the IDs of the sector radios at various observation points.)

The city of Olando has a number of permits pulled but this is the only site that is indicating anything other then issued. "633 LAKE DOT CIR// Certificate of Appearance Review Issued// Removal of five (5) existing antennas and install three (3) new antennas"

That's not too far from me... maybe 2 1/2 miles

There's another Orlando market site that showed up this week south of Palm Bay near a place called Grant.

Wow, Grant?! There's nothing down there. I have been doing some biological surveys down that way. I will keep an eye out for signal.

Just wanted to share what I found today. I've been lurking here for a while, and never thought I'd need an account, but this was too good not to share. LTE is being tested in Cocoa, FL at a tower on Clearlake Road. I happened to look down at my phone today and saw the 4G icon. I quickly took a short field trip to the tower, located about a mile away. There were 2 guys sitting outside the building, looking at a laptop. I yelled at them "You guys are my heroes!" They replied "4G, yeah!" It was a geek moment. They told me that they were just testing the LTE, and that we wouldn't be fully on-line for another couple of months. But wow, those first tastes of 4G LTE are ever so sweet!

 

Pics of my speed test is attached.

I saw some guys working on the tower that's within a mile from my house, in Palm Bay, today. Didn't have the time to stop and talk to them or get any pictures. Might go by there tomorrow, after I vote and see if I can speak to them and get some pics.
