bill3345 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I found tower work going on at 6 st s. and 40 ave s. The crane operator brought things to a stop because of 30mph wind up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm having 3G issues over in Brandon. It seems to work when I disenable LTE, leading me to think that the EHRPD/LTE core is down. I think so, since noon I can only get a data signal only if its on CDMA only, even in a non LTE area. Even my wife's OG EVO is having a hard time connecting to 3G.

CAmbrocio1 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I just drove by the tower at Sun City Center and US-301 (that i suspected had work going on) and i see that as of today at 5pm that it now has Sprint panels installed.

Wildman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The site its alive!!!!!! I'm maping as I type Wow, I am shocked it that is truly the case. There is a site south of there that has had panels for some time and I would have expected that to come up online first. There is one near my house that has had panels for a couple of weeks now, longer than that site, and it isn't alive yet. Wondering if they are just testing at this point. I'll check out Sensorly and will comment later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mapped something on Friday and it still hasn't shown up except on the closest zoom level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mapped something on Friday and it still hasn't shown up except on the closest zoom level. Yes, I have seen that, even with my own mapping. However, I went to the max zoom in and he's right. I went to the max zoom level and saw his mapping. I am really shocked as those panels just went up... literally. They must have been really ready with everything else on that one. I want the site near my house to go live. I'll do a lot of mapping with it on the bicycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site on BB Downs covers me just fine, but I think I've gotten some what annoyed at seeing those panels but no LTE icon on my phone lol.

Troyhe98 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Any known known clusters up and running New Vision? Really hoping to see in building coverage improve with Sprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tampaflusa Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The Pinellas county beaches are pretty much lit up with LTE now. Looks like one or two last week alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildman Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So I have LTE at TPA If you mean TPA (Airport), it is possible to catch weak signal from the tower just north of the field. The Marriott (which you will see all of the various carrier cabinets and antennas mounted below the revolving restaurant) as of this morning, has had zero activity. I work there and check every day.

verngator Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 My office (near Bryan Dairy and Belcher Road in Largo) has a cell tower adjacent to our parking lot - they are installing Sprint LTE equipment as I write this. When I drove into work today there was a big crane, trucks, and workers clustered around the tower. I walked over to them to ask what was happening and they advised that they were installing LTE equipment for Sprint.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 I think a tower near US 19 and Spring Hill Dr is activated. I was spending the day with my mom and had her in the car so I couldn't map. She would have yelled at me "watch the road" even though I haven't lived home in 16 years lol. I know when I glanced the signal was sub -90.

SpenceSouth Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Over 90 days for the tower on Fowler now. Any other sites in the area that have had panels up that long with no LTE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
