Network Vision/LTE - Orlando Market

I was in Windermere at the Windermere elementary school this evening and looked at my phone just before a bike ride and it was showing 4G! Woo hoo! It's finally getting closer to Metro West!

New 4G tower at Winter Garden Village! I mapped it via sensorly while I was there and will try and map more, but here's a speed test :-D

I wonder if we got the same tower?

I was just checking real quick if I had any text messages before I went offline for about two hours while I rode. I honestly was caught off guard when I saw the 4g..definitely wasn't expecting to see it.

I may be out there tomorrow night and will check again.

A lot more lte from 4 till 8 tonight here at the p.o. by oia. It would come on for 5 minutes and shut off for 20 minutes and repeat that pattern. I like the fact that someone is working at night to get this going. Speeds ranged from 1 to 6 mbps.

[supersanborn]

I actually tend to avoid using my phone for much when at Wgv because data has been so horrible. So imagine my surprise when checking the time turned into a 4G discovery. Mapped all the way from Starbucks down Daniels road to 4Rivers which is around where coverage seemed to die off.

Looks like the rower on Patrick AFB is getting worked on:

I live off of Conroy Windermere in between Kirkman and Turkey Lake Rd. My service was really bad last night around 9-10 PM. It kept going in and out of roaming even though I was in my apartment. I would get text messages that people were calling me and it wasn't even ringing on my end. I don't know how the data was affected if at all because I was connected to Wi-Fi. I don't think I am close enough to this tower to pick LTE anyways

Is that Patrick Air Force Base?

I hear yea. I'm in Metro West and for the last couple of days the signal has been so bad it frequently says I'm roaming even when I'm on wifi. Explains why I'm not getting calls but get vm's all of the sudden.

Sucks big time. I am calling them for credit. Hopefully this well be fixed VERY soon!

[supersanborn]

So apparently the Winter Garden LTE we noticed last night was because the Sprint Store next to the Starbucks in WGV has a repeater installled. Explains why it doesn't seem to extend very far coverage wise.

LTE at Windermere elementary school tonight...speedtest

Well guys, for the first time ever, I finally caught an LTE signal inside of my bedroom at 8:34pm by Econlockhatchee & Colonial! Looks like the rollout is progressing again!

Disappointed sooo close yet no cigar

So I was just about to call it a night and go to bed, I look at my phone and it said "4G". My heart dropped for like a split second and I was like "YEEESSSSS, IT FINALLY CAME!!". But after 5 seconds of bliss, it switched right back to 3G, and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" I toggled airplane mode and PRL at least 6 times and it didn't come back. I was actually thinking of driving to the tower and see if it would come back. Then i thought to myself, "Its 4am in the morning, it's FREEZING outside, it can wait." But hey, I'm guessing Lte will be up for the west side of Lake Mary maybe sometime next week instead of the middle of next month (which isn't really long from now, but still). Here's to hoping those 5 seconds were real instead of me hallucinating.

I know your pain... I was a block from the Osceola Ct House.. Saw 4g on phone... then I was 2 blocks from Ct House and then is back to 3g... cruel cruel cruel...

Got my first taste of 4G on North Patrick AFB. 10 down, 6 up. Still no love on S. Patrick, but they are working on the tower.

[UCF1996]

Does anyone have any intell on the new tower being built along I-4 between Fairbanks and Princeton St? The tower is located on the east side and must be accessed from either Clay or Wymore? No panels attached just yet and I don't even recall seeing the tower there last week so it must be new.

 

Only thing I can find is that it is owned by American Tower, Inc. Still no panels on it yet when I drove past it this evening.

[samer21]

I got a good look at the conway tower today. Its done but not on yet. There is a monster bird nest on top of it.

There is a repeater at the Sprint Store, but it has not been turned on yet. I was there yesterday and spoke with the Manager. Ironically,they do not get LTE service inside the store. However if they go outside they can get a signal. It is the same for Best Buy across the street. But LTE has finally showed up in WG. My faith has been restored!

[supersanborn]

Oh well that's even better, but then where is the tower located if it's not the Sprint store hooking me up?

Where abouts in Lake Mary? Over by SCC (which I guess is techincally Sanford) we have LTE. I get it on Country Club as well, and as far as to Rinehart, and even down Rinehart some.
