Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

Here is the pic. Second set panels from the top. Short bike ride from the house. This is the tower mentioned a few messages earlier in the Panther Trace sub near Balm Riverview Road. It is easily visible from Balm Riverview and Rhodine Roads.

Sensorly was working for the this afternoon, so I was able to make some tracks around the River Ridge site. They should appear on the map soon, if not already there.

 

I didn't go down Ridge Rd, but I did go north on Moon Lake. The signal goes about halfway up Moon Lake, on the way to SR52. There still seems to be one more tower to upgrade, and that area will have nearly blanket coverage, with some sort of 4G signal.

Finally got pictures of the Wimauma site, sorry for being so late. And the green box was just installed this week!!!

 

Drove by there today on the motorcycle, saw the panels. I'm also sure your familiar with the old microwave converted to multi-company cell tower behind the Verizon building by Walmart. Didn't see anything going on there yesterday, but saw a line coming off the tower at an angle coming down from the Sprint panels and a guy at the bottom doing some work. Looks like that one is in progress.

Yes I'm familiar with the tower the speeds are always slow, but I hope it gets better over time!!!

Did it cover a large area? Sensorly hasn't updated yet.

I passed by it this morning at 03:30 on my way into work and was mapping. Went back by it again around 13:15 today on my way home. Strong signal as I passed it, not sure why Sensorly has not updated yet. Didn't map the area, just north on 75, then east on I-4 and west on I-4 to return and south on I-75.

Sure it was that tower? What was your signal dBm?

Really not sure why Sensorly has not updated yet. I'll be driving by it twice again tomorrow and will be mapping. Eventually it will update :)

Sometimes the server is busy and it takes a while to upload from a phone. You can check details on the app and see if the data uploaded, you might know that already though :-\

I think the tower on 50th and Fowler behind Perkins will come on soon. I've seen my phone pick up 4G for a few seconds at a time, but not long enough to get a signal reading. LTE discovery is not able to regain the signal :( Its also been flipping between eHRPD and Rev A this morning.

Where where you at when you picked up the signal? I've picked up 4G at the Perkins, but it was very weak so probably coming from one of the towers on Busch or BB Downs.

 

Cant believe it has had panels up for over 75 days now...

I'm indoors by Publix. I've seen it 3-4 times now. Usually when I wake up the phone or when i disable wifi. It'll show 4g for 3-4 seconds then no icon, just bars then eventually back to 3g.I'm going to keep the field test app runing so i can get a signal reading next time it happens.It happened for the first time last week. I cant believe its been over two months :( this whole area gets FIOS so hopefully when it gets turned on it'll have great speeds

 

Have you seen it flip flob between Rev A and eHRPD?

Haven't seen it go back and forth but I have been stuck on Rev A a few times recently. I'm wondering if you are picking up a testing signal from that site.... Its encouraging to say the least.

That's what happened to me the week before the Busch site went live and the same with Waters Ave. They are mostly lighting them in clusters and the Fowler site is probably next.

Question for you guys. I have LTE at my house. I live in a 2 story home and about halfway up the stairs it connects to LTE, halfway down it drops to 3G. I know the active towers in my area and none of them seem like I should be connected to anyway but is this a case of ground clutter keeping me from a signal on the 1st floor?

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
