WiWavelength Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Is it typical for a deploying area to loose 3G ? Yes! Loose the dogs of war, EV-DO, and LTE. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WealthyHabitz Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yes! Loose the dogs of war, EV-DO, and LTE. AJ At least the tower by the Branch Jail puts out 1.7-2.5 down constantly. Definite LTE here with sensorly. Nice to see sprint getting it done here, even with the angry birds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Would but the old police station is next to it and they still use the gas pumps behind it, plus the tower is covered in PTZ cameras, i've seen one follow me when I walked around the parking lot. They do have it quite watched.. I think the birds know it. Probably the safest place to nest on the Volusia Coast.

supersanborn Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Headed to the East side of Orlando for a DL renewal...will be interesting to see what I can pick up on Sensorly as I drive down the 408. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSPC Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 According to the (phone) maps this is in the Orlando area, although for everything else this is in the Tampa Bay area? I figured i would post this here as well.. "Did a 3 mile walk and map today in Circle B Bar Reserve today. Its kinda week but its there. Speed tests came in at Avg 5+ down and 1.5 up. Not the best but way better than it was before. its nice to see." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersanborn Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Bad weather today and thunderstorms predicted for the next few days...betting we're going to see some NV slowdowns unless Sprint figured out how to lightning-proof their towers. http://www.weather.com/weather/5-day/Ocoee+FL+34761:4:US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcctDeleted_scotthilt Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 When it comes to the the area from Ormond Beach to Port Orange, where exactly are the Sprint towers located. I've done several tower searches online, but none of the towers are owned by Sprint. There all owned by other companies So Where exactly are the Sprint towers?

I've done several tower searches online, but none of the towers are owned by Sprint. There all owned by other companies So Where exactly are the Sprint towers? I doubt you will find many towers owned by the actual carriers anymore these days, the ones owned by a specific carrier end up being monopole and only have that carrier(at least the only ones here in port orange are AT&T), sprint in most areas lease space off towers owned by companies like Crown Castle or American Tower.. But if you are talking about current upgrades and future n.v. scheduled towers; you'd have to be a sponsor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersanborn Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have to say, as I drove out to UCF I picked up some good LTE, particularly on colonial drive near the DMV (13Mbps Up, 6 Down), but as I got into 105-110 dbm signal strength, I can't even break 1Mbps down, and this is after updating Profile/PRL and rebooting even. Is the LTE at Waterford this bad for everyone else? Edit: Apparently it can get much worse. I'm now getting LTE speeds that are sub 100kbps. Hopefully they're just doing tower work or something, because wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zandar Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I usually cant get any LTE south of 50 on Alafaya. It seems to end right at the Bahama Breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha, it's definitely LTE in name only here at Waterford. The tower on Colonial clearly wasn't meant to cover Waterford fully or has a lot of work ahead of it.

XXavierXX Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I had to lose my jailbreak, so I can't approximate tower locations anymore But, driving down Colonial from Econlockhatchee to Lake Pickett Rd, I kept 2-3 bars on LTE the entire time, with being at full bars from Dean to Alafaya. Also I got 2 bars on LTE out on my porch for the first time, but it went back to 3G again lol what a tease. Good to have this pace back up and running again.

supersanborn Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 The tower in Ocoee continues to have WesTower visiting it, now there's a tent stretched over the cabinet area and for a brief 30 seconds yesterday I picked up LTE while having lunch. Exciting times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcctDeleted_scotthilt Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yesterday since I live in Port Orange and found myself on beachside in Ormond I decided to map A1A from Ormond Beach (Granada Ave) to Ponce Inlet Point Park. For much of my mapping journey I was able to get LTE, but as soon as I went south of Dunlawton Ave & A1A that LTE signal ended. Hopefully my mapping efforts are all ready showing up on Sensorly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXavierXX Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Currently getting up to 9mbps download & 3mbps upload with 4 bars on LTE at Colonial Dr. & Avalon Park Blvd. First time getting good LTE coverage on that side of Avalon Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclaren700 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I'm pretty new to what's going on; what's the best summary that you guys can give for what's currently happening in Orlando, particularly the east/UCF side? I'm about to get a 4g LTE enabled device, and I was wondering what info you guys could give me.What's the connection quality? Hold ups? When is a likely announcement date for deployment?Thanks guys, I love this site! Edited May 24, 2013 by mclaren700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, I love this site! Considering I live fairly close to there near the waterford town center, the data speed on this side of town is literally at a crawl in most places. Good news is that it shows they they have been doing upgrades around the towers in that area, including the one located near the campus. I was near that area today and had full bars, but my data connection was no more than .30 mb download... Hopefully they will have these towers up and running full time in the next month or so. I wonder if anyone has any information of the status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersanborn Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 OR27XC012 28.55111220751747, -81.47082825659518, 616 North Hart Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32818, USA This tower is live on Colonial right near Hiawassee. The sprint rack must be fairly low to the ground, as the range heading north down Apopka Vineland seems fairly weak. Surprised it hasn't ended up on any acceptance reports yet.
