I was at the Citrus bowl tonight, for the Orlando City game. The stadium was full of about 35000 fans. 

 

When I was there last, back in June, I had a lot of struggles with signal strength and connection speed. Tonight, I had a strong Band 41 signal (-90 or so), with about 20/5 speeds in the stadium. I was with some friends, who have AT&T phones. While I could use my phone effortlessly, they had virtually no speed. It felt good to have the upper hand on AT&T for a change.

 

I tested web browsing, picture uploading (no selfies, I promise!), and even a couple of speed tests. All performed flawlessly, throughout the game.

 

Clearly, the upgrades are making a difference.

 

Oh, and we won, too. All in all, a good night.

Well I'm out in Orlando at Halloween Horror Night and according to signal check pro. There's two carriers for band 25 and two carriers for band 41. The network is a little bog down with the crowds up I can still load webpages, Google searches and Tapatalk. I was looking at some people's AT&T device in front of me their phones couldn't connect to AT&Ts data network.

Wow hard to believe. At&t and Verizon dominate speed there, big crowds or not. They probably didn't have a up to date At&t device with band 2,4,5,17,29 and CA support.

I know one of the people had an iPhone 6/6s. Those are pretty up to date devices.

I don't know how AT&T is at Universal, but when I was in Disney (Magic Kingdom/Animal Kingdom) with Sprint/AT&T, both had superb networks (AT&T's was slightly more accessible in certain areas), but both consistently pulled 10mbps+.  If Sprint's got all that spectrum utilized in Universal, I'd imagine some great network speeds.

Sprint's problem there is the fact that At&t has on ground sites and Verizon either has some kind of small cell or repeater there while Sprint is getting its signals from towers outside of universal, dramatically decreasing SNR and RSRP values. If they cant get a macro, small cells or repeaters on the grounds then they should build a tower within half mile of property. I know there is a clear site on top a hotel across the street there, if they can get band 25/26 on that hotel it would help alot as long as they had 2 carriers of band 25.

Found that second carrier but I found something else. Crapatalk wont let me upload but Im getting -55 dbm at diagon alley at universal with a second b25 carrier so either a repeater, cow or small cell is being used. Speeds were good on it around 17mbps down and 6mbps up.

 

UPDATED

 

Swithed to islands of adventure with 40+ min wait times on most rides and band 41 CA on average is 18-25mbps with -108-117dbm. Band 25 with second carrier is 8-16dbm and band 26 is 9-20dbm. With so many people I am beyond impressed. Orlando also I rarely lost band 41 in Orlando and when I did speeds where 7-20 on band 25 and 26. Orlando is a prime example of a Sprint market on the come up.

I dont know whats going on but there are new cell sites on each sides and speeds are crazy good for this kind of crowd. All bands are over 10mbps everywhere I go so far and signal strenght of band 25/26 in in the 70's on average.

That is no second carrier. That is a 10x10 FDD-LTE carrier on Band 25. 

 

C5+G 1905-1915 Mhz. 

 

Orange county, FL is licensed PCS (A + D) + (C5 + G)

 

Edit: A possibility.. need confirmation

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
