I just mapped like over 4000 points of 4g this evening, all of aloma to winter park amd some more around UCF, up redbug and tuscawilla and 434 down to SR50.

 

You are the bomb!!!! Thanks for finding all of this coverage for us!!!

Some speed tests from last night

 

I'm exactly just a few feet from the lte coverage area on Aloma, a bit west of SR436. Assuming they must be still testing as I'm not getting a hit. Sensorly appears to be only pulling in 3G points as well.

Do you get LTE easily with your EVOLTE?

 

Yesterday I was in Cocoa driving/walking all along areas with LTE and my phone just didn't seem to want to connect. When I toggled airplane mode a few times it'd briefly connect to LTE but then I'd go in other areas where it just wouldn't connect...

 

I was with my GF, who has an iPhone 5, and she was on LTE practically the whole time.

I was searching for it using the LTE Discover App, which automatically toggles airplane mode and then switches off to search for LTE. I went out later and was well within the coverage area. Searched, and got nothing.

You shouldn't have to toggle airplane mode with the latest HTC update my phone now connects to sites within seconds of being within range. Are you rooted? If so are you s off or s on?

Ah ok, similar type experience to me...

I heard that, but currently I am not even complaining to Sprint simply because my regular service area hasn't officially received LTE. That said, when I was in Cocoa IIRC that area is launched with LTE and I was still having trouble connecting... It seems like I connected for a moment but then lost it in an area where I should of had a decent LTE signal.

 

I am rooted, S-OFF running the latest MeanBean rom.

Same here are you running the latest firmware that was released with the Jb update? When I upgraded my firmware I connected to sites a lot easier. I haven't toggled since.

I am pretty sure I am on the latest firmware. When I first flashed MeanBean it was required to update.

 

I am on version: 1.12.11.1119

Wow, checked out Sensorly for the first time in a few days, there is a LOT more LTE coverage. Almost all of Ovideo is covered, its spreading into Altamonte Springs as well, and some parts of Sanford! Awesome words guys! Keep mapping when you can, once it comes to my neck of the woods imma walk/ride bike all around town to map as much as I can.

sprint needs to bring the group down from Chicago to Orlando. Chicago is close to being 100% :) wishful thinking I know super excited to see orlando starting to fill out in the corners now it just need to move a tiny bit closer.

I can't call it then. I haven't personally compared my phone to another phone in connectivity. I know in the beginning the evo was horrible at picking up signal.

Hell. once I even had someone with an EVOLTE get a signal where I didn't, but then at other times I got one where they didn't so I chalked that up to a wash. Hoping when it gets in more areas I'll be able to better decide if there may be something wrong with my phone.

I agree, love seeing all of that stuff show up on Sensorly... hopefully by the end of the month we have more of the "inner" city covered.

I've been getting lots of 4g lately. The spread is nice. Also 3g speeds have been very good. Around 1.5-2.1mbps. Also did more speed tests in Avalon tower and the best I got was 24.5mbps down and 8.9mbps up. Can't wait for the dean rd. And curry ford rd. Tower to get turned on. I'll be set then. Also people who are reporting the Avalon tower was down is not correct I haven't been to that area and not gotten lte there. I'm there a lot.

3G in Lake Mary is still quite awful, but with it being in parts of Sanford/Altamonte Springs, I see it coming this way soon. Just gotta keep them fingers crossed!

Hey guys I caught LTE outside of the UCF Library today 1/28/2013, and it needs to get on Sensorly. If anybody is ever around the center area of UCF campus, keep your Sensorly Maps running!!!

If no one else does, I live close enough to hit that up this weekend... My phone has yet to see any LTE in Orlando, would be nice to "pop" that cherry.

Also, I just left campus, walking up Alafaya to work right now and I've maintained 1-2 bars on LTE so far, but speed tests are ranging no more than 2mbps, so there's still speed improvements that need to be made. I'll post a new speed test once I'm over 13mbps again.

UPDATE: This is the best speed test I was able to get so far. Took it at the southwestern sidewalk corner of the intersection of Alafaya & McCulloch. I maintained an LTE signal my whole way up until I got into work, and I'm back on 3G. Looks like my LTE signal isn't strong enough to function indoors just yet. I can't upload the image right now for some reason, but my best download speed was 14.37mbps download and 0.69mbps upload, with all other tests about 1.0mbps-6mbps. Will edit this post with that screenshot as soon as I get off work tonight.

    • This site is built but not live. eNB 41150 is still live. eNB 41188 is decommissioned but as far as I can tell the site at 200 West 55th is not built yet. This site is live gNB 1346302. This site is live gNB 1092074 This site is live gNB 1371671 This site is live gNB 1371860 — — — — — Sprint eNB 6156 -> T-Mobile gNB 1349260 Sprint eNB Unknown -> T-Mobile gNB 1325016 — — — — — Bonus T-Mobile 5G small cell, gNB 1348688 in Queens:  
    • FTTH JVs are city by city as well, so it's not going to really be sector by sector. It sounds like TMo wants to be able to sell everyone home broadband, but if that requires building additional infrastructure that infra will take the form of FTTH builds rather than mobile densification. Which involves tradeoffs, but the product is better than e.g. what AT&T is doing for me right now, which is offering only Internet Air in an area where they have 100/20 DSL available but not (yet) fiber.
    • Hopefully they do not wait until these sectors get so overloaded that they start getting nasty reviews and people abandon them. Getting fiber coverage to the area of a overloaded sector can take a year or more. I also question if this can all be managed.  Lots of sectors all over the country can get congested fairly quick.  Lots of work and money to get fiber installed and there goes the profitability on the venture.
    • MoffetNathanson Conference This is a conference where the CFO talks telecom financial analysts so obviously it takes a return on investment approach.  Broadly T-Mobile divides there world into top 100 markets (60%) and small town/rural (40%). They ultimately want to have at least 1/3 market share in rural. They also look at demographics like 50+ and Hispanic.  Reputation is now starting to help them with CIOs.  Did mention c-band buildout beginning in major cities as well as continued band migration to 5g. IMO they may become more aggressive at offering 5g phones to LTE holdover and 5g users without VoNR at a future date. mmWave not discussed. Price increases not discussed iirc. Did mention spectrum purchases from speculators. $9 billion all goes through same ROI process. FWA is down to hexagonal patterns by sector of fallow spectrum. Fiber JVs will go where sectors are overloaded.
    • I am lucky to be served by an excellent fiber ISP and that is the only reason I haven't tried TMOs FWA. Once you go fiber, it is REALLY hard to go back. The choice of sub-10ms ping times is a very artificial bucket, FWA will seldom get much below 10ms ping times but fiber regularly gets me 1-3ms ping times. Basically, at around those times, the speed of light and the distance you are from the server become the limiting factors. As an aside, my internet provider, ZiplyFiber, has been awesome. They peer like crazy at all the major IX in the area and, as a result, you end up with what essentially amounts to direct fiber connections to the vast majority of major data sources. While it isn't sexy, it makes my 1Gb/1Gb connection load pages significantly faster than my works 10Gb/10Gb connection. On the "sexy" side, they are also fastest ISP in the nation. They offer up to 50Gb/50Gb via a direct fiber connection to the router, albeit for an eye watering $900/mo.
