Hi everyone, Sorry about the slow updates today. Sometimes we have to do a little maintenance and this one took longer than planned. When that happens new data received doesn't get added to the maps

Well looks like my time in Tampa is drawing near. I've been accepted to the Master's of Computer Science program at UNF in Jacksonville for the Fall semester. Now I have two NV cities to monitor!!

Been following the group for a few months now and this is my first post. Anybody know if Sprint is planning to install LTE on the tower by Wells Fargo Bank on Bruce B Downs & Regents Park Dr near Cross Creek?

All of the towers in Tampa are going to be LTE

I was getting LTE inside Walmart on Gunn, the Citrus Park Mall and yesterday......for a brief second or two, I had it in my house. I'm very close to The Veterans Hwy and Erlich off ramp.

 

I haven't seen any LTE by my work, which is in the Sabal Business Park or MLK, by I75 in Tampa.

Oh yeah, the guys there were very nice.

 

I have always been leary about approaching them at any site. Some are very guarded. Some are nice. I do not mention posting things on the Internet as some flip out. I just tell them I am curious and like the field of cell phones and towers. I try to take interest in their career by saying I have always wanted to get into the field. That usually gets them to open up and not be guarded on things as they don't see it as you scrutinizing them.

I will map tomorrow, I'm on 54 and 19

 

I got within 3-4 miles of that area (54 and Little). Nothing carrying that far, yet. Went home via Little, DeCubellis, Moon Lake, and SR52. Not a trace of LTE along that route so far.

There is a Tower Located at Waters and Sitka (Looks like its on the Public Storage property). That is just West of the Veterans. Looks Like its has Sprint panels....But its looked that way for more than 2 months. If it is a Sprint tower, is it normal for them to take that long to fire it up?

Certainly not unusual. Robert has reported one that has had panels for as long as 9 months with no LTE.

getting LTE at the USF rec center near the Perkins um getting 102db and using cdma field test app it maps the base station as the one on Perkins. I'd expect it to be stronger since I'm 1/2 mile away. I doubt I'm picking up the tower on bears as my phone barely pucks it up on flercher

There is a new site in that area that will be added to the update maps tonight. :tu:

I don't think its the one behind Perkins on Fowler or I would be getting a LTE signal as we speak. I think another one is on in the area.

      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....
