Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market


Feech

It shouldn't fail unless of course the 3G is overloaded where it can't stream it. Or maybe Netflix's app can't handle the different in speed change between 4G and 3G.

 

Its failing because LTE and 3g have different IPs until they turn the NV cluster on

I was at dale Mabry and northdale inside a restaurant and had great lte signal.

 

I have an evo lte: 12mbps down 6 mbps up.signal: 96db

My gf with an S3 : 28mbps down 8 mbps up signal: 92db

 

It's pretty crazy how the S3 can get choose better speeds with only a 4db signal difference

4db is not small by any means.

How many test did you run to determine that?

4 test with the phones side by side and test started after the other phone finished so they don't compete for bandwidth

 

Very interesting. Can you tell me if the S3 has a stronger 1x signal as well?

Ehrpd is on at every site.

I know that, but apparently ehrpd is running through the legacy back haul with a different IP until a while cluster get turned on. See post on previous page

Backhaul doesn't matter it is still Sprint's network. Last mile doesn't matter.

 

They didn't go through the effort of ehrpd on every market for nothing before LTE launched.

Hey Guys haven't been around lately. Just catching up on things. So I noticed that the Osprey and Eagles are back. tells me we are going to see a slowdown in new progress, like any towers that still haven't been rigged. The one that comes to mind for me is the tower closest to my work on 301 between MLK and 60.

I had no problems in Wichita Falls testing to go back and forth between LTE and eHRPD on legacy sites. The backhaul type in irrelevant. Each type of backhaul is provisioned like a VPN direct to the Sprint network core at an MSC. The backhaul is just a conduit, whether legacy or NV. Legacy NV backhaul is just bandwidth/throughput limited, but pointed to the same place.

 

That being said, Sprint's network is still not mature and can have hand off problems between LTE and eHRPD. It does occur. And this may be exarcebated by dissimilar vendors.

it seems completely fine on anything but Netflix.

LTE can still be really slow still. I am pretty sure my LTE signal was low didn't get a chance to look at the engineering screen.

 

this was done at my office in sable park.

just fyi sensorly shows dbm under the more details screen. also the CDMA Field Test app shows db in app and in the status bar. Looking at your speeds, i would guess you had about 118-120 dbm signal, which is bare minimum

Could you try again using the Tampa server? The Columbia server is notoriously slow.

    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area. 
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
    • Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
    • Same with factory unlocked
    • June security update is out (S22U TMO)
