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

Had sensorly running on my route back from Casselberry to lake Mary via 1792 & Longwood/Lake Mary, lake Mary Blvd....got a few points for 4G but don't know where exactly yet. I drive a contracted postal truck throughout some of cfl so when I am driving I usually keep sensorly app running mapping my trips...hopefully the map well update soon

Darn, I was hoping you actually meant on LM Blvd. I picked up a signal for about 2 minutes near the I-4 end of it about a week ago, but has been dead since then. Was hoping it was getting turned back on

This weekend I have free, so I'm going to go driving around all of Auburndale looking to see if anything has started here yet. I'll also do parts of Lakeland and Winter Haven in hopes that I can find LTE coverage near me.

 

 

The only thing is I gotta learn how to do this first, lol.

Alright guys check out this news report. Sprint has a new strategy to speed up the LTE rollout process. Looks like we'll be seeing LTE in our homes a lot sooner than we expected.

Umm guys...it looks like T-Mobile might surpass Sprint in LTE coverage... Sprint says they lowered their goal to cover 200 million people by the end of the year. :/

T-Mobile LTE is just a simple overlay of their existing HSPA+ network. It should be very fast to install. But they are only adding LTE to their existing 4G footprint.

 

Don't get me wrong, it will perform admirably. And I'm happy for Tmo. But let's see Tmo add LTE to their EDGE network, and we can talk.

Their dismal coverage is a nail in the coffin of an otherwise great network. Hence, why I have Sprint!

When you're running Sensorly and NOT getting coverage, you'd think it should update that on the map accordingly. So basically Sensorly would be a reading of what the latest coverage was when it was last recorded in that area. Instead of if coverage was ever in that area. Even further, I'd be nice if you could toggle to see both.

I agree with this. I think that would be fantastic. Like "Up to Date Map" and "Whats been Spotted" map

Is it the $100 donation to be able to see that info, or is it any kind of donation?

It is in the Sponsor section. Any donation amount makes you a Sponsor. The Premier Sponsor is yet another level that can be obtained by reaching a total of $100 or more and gives you access to even more content beyond that.

Let me know what you find, the towers in our are hopefully are coming on soon. If the tower there is live, I should be able to pick up LTE here in Lake Mary as well!

I went to that race trac on 415 yesterday and got nothing. I even did a signal reset. But Sprint has been the the Lake Mary/Sanford area. My 3G speed is a little better. I've been getting .4-.6 mbps Have seen notice better speeds?

      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....
