Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

Recommended Posts

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

So true.. I will say that Old Southeast though has pretty good coverage now. Awhile back I had to actually tether my phone to someone to get service. Not the case now. I was gonna ask Robert about it but I believe there is an additional site that's going to be downtown St Pete

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

Right, Brandon Mall, in surprised that one had not yet been completed. It would also help the coverage at the Sprint store on Brandon Blvd.

I'm working off 4st n. and 92nd ave n. and I've noticed my phone has been getting 1 bar of service. Its also switched to roaming a time or two. I hope that's a good sign for the near future.

Any of you guys going to pick up the LG G2?  Figured if might be tempting for you guys since TD-2500 is live in Tampa.

I was thinking, hoping, that Sprint picks up the Sony Xperia Z ultra... 6.4" display and waterproof... I need waterproof.

I swear I'm not trolling but why don't you need waterproof?

Eh, why not?  Don't know how many times I have been out for a run and a freak rainstorm spawns out of nowhere.  Not that I ever plan on purposely introducing my phone to water, but I think that having a waterproof device would be pretty awesome.  Just a little peace of mind.

I'll buy it if you're selling it

Can another sponsor check the maps but Pinellas county almost looks like all towers have been outfitted with LTE and actively broadcasting.  Maybe less than 10 are still not up yet?

 

I hope this isn't the case. The coverage in St. Pete still has major holes. North east is brutal at best. Nothing down on 54 ane south. Downtown lte is still super slow. I don't want to be Mr. Negative, but sprint has to get the lte coverage a lot better.

I know what you mean I frequent all of those areas and for the most part its pretty bad.  Looks like there is still a site of 2 downtown St Pete that need to come on line and there is a giant coverage gap between 4th st and the Raymond James area.  What is it you are calling Northeast?

North of 62 ave n. From 275 all the way to the bay. Also shore acres area and snell island. The Riviera Bay area off of 83rd still has nothing. Even at North East high has slow 4G. (When I say slow, I mean under 2 megs down.) Even at my house I was getting 16 megs down inside my house when Sprint turned on the tower off of 30 ave n. and about 26th st. Now I get 3 megs down in my driveway.

The site on Hillsborough Ave a mile west of Memorial Ave is live. Also the Sprint site on Fowler And Nebraska Ave in Tampa had workers on it today putting panels and ruus up today. Ruus and panels up on Dale Mabry south of Fletcher. Racetrack Rd and Patterson Rd just put NV equipment up also. Happy to see activity picking up again.

Great update.  I am sure weather recently, especially with all of the rain we have been having, has hampered activity.  Moving into non-rainy season let's hope it really picks up steam!

The Sprint site at Flecher and I-75 is live. I tried to map on Sensorly but with the new design changes to the app it crashed on me several times. I have to say this is the fastest I have ever seen new vision equipment being applied to the towers in the area. The tower at Fletcher and 22nd Street is also being worked on today (panels ect).The tower on 22nd Street between Busch Boulevard and Fowler Avenue had panels/ruus put on it the last 2 weeks and the same with the Florida Ave site south of Fletcher. Plus with the work I posted the other day all this has been done within a months timeframe.

    • 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
    • T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
