Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

Still no LTE at Raymond James Stadium for the Bucs game.

 

Data had normally been a disaster in there, but the new 3G DAS helps quite a bit.  I noticed it too overloaded and my phone would switch to another tower, but it's still a good improvement.

Still no LTE at Raymond James Stadium for the Bucs game. Anyone get LTE at Tropicana Field Rays games?

I was at the trop for a game about a month ago for a rays game, there was LTE with decent reception but I couldn't use any data it was completely dead. Had to switch to 3g only mode.

I'm downtown St. Pete quite a bit.  LTE is seriously lacking in that area.  In fact east of 275 and south of Gandy is a big gaping hole of non LTE coverage.  Looking at the Map there are some holes to fill in there

So I have

LTE

RSRP -109dBm

RSRQ -13dB

 

and my awesome LTE speeds are...

 

1st try

 

Ping - 173 ms

DOWN - 347kbps

UP - 31kbps

 

2nd try - Network communications issue

3rd try - Network communications issue

 

so it went from horrible 3G to just as bad LTE...

 

not only that but my battery in the Note is draining like someone pulled the plug out the bath tub.  I am currently getting 3 hrs out of a full battery and my phone is hot too touch. but only when I am in sable park.

Sounds like you are on the edge of coverage between 4G and 3G

My prayers are finally being answered! I spotted LTE at work (Windhorst/Falkenburg-ish area in Brandon/Tampa) today. It doesn't seem to be fully active yet. Every attempt to load anything always times out. But it reaches indoors! Here's hoping it'll be all set up Monday.

I saw them working on that tower a couple weeks ago. Its just north of Woodbury on Falkenburg. Ruus and panels are in place.

I have year passes and yes the cheetah hunt is awesome I rode it once its so fast and so long. My favorite next to the sheikra

Very nice. I didn't get to ride it before I moved, but I heard that the new Cheetah Hunt ride is pretty sweet. Just dont let that phone slip out of your pocket!

I haven't posted in a bit, but still out there mapping daily.  Ok, so we're some roughly 60% done now, but still have some key areas like the airport and Ybor still having coverage issues.  Any other critical areas you thought would have been done by now that still need to be completed?

Downtown, the Westshore area, Raymond James Stadium and Brandon Mall. Forest Hills area as well.

In St. Pete, east of 275 and south of Gandy still has major holes in coverage. The lte in downtown is all but useless.

    • Dish network down since 3:31am Signalcheck Pro reports the Dish Network, at least the site at Scioto-Darby Rd Near I-270  in Columbus Ohio, was last operational at 3:31am. I normally pickup signal from two other Dish sites as well.  Reported via downdetector.com as Boost Infinite but one is such a lonely number. Tried to manually reconnect to Dish, but network is not appearing. Hopefully scheduled maintenance.
    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
