Wildman Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I noticed the NID changed to 307 from 28. Does this mean anything? Anyone with any knowledge on NID? I'm curious to know the answer to that a well. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The tower on Nebraska Avenue just south of Fowler Avenue is live. The tower on Fletcher and 22nd Street is now live also. I tried to map on Sensorly but the app is so horrible lately that I don't know if it took. Also the tower on Westshore and El Prado is live.

poyo Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 has anyone heard or seen an TD-LTE signal in Tampa? I heard that we are supposed to be in the initial 5 cities with all the existing clear sites being equipped with TD-LTE gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill3345 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I found a tower live near 60th ave n. and 16th st n. I got 23 mbps down on the speed test. I mapped a little on 16th from 54th to 76th ave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The tower on Dale Mabry Highway near Stall Rd is live, I mapped a little. Also the tower down the street on Dale Mabry and Bearss Ave have new panels and ruus being put up this morning. Looks like also the tower near the I4 / I75 junction on Eureka Springs Rd in the Vandenberg airport property is ready to go live. It lets me connect for a couple of seconds then kicks me off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I know a while back I posted seeing a lot of activity at Tampa International Airport, and that we have believed it to be in progress for a considerable amount of time, but all of that activity seems to have ceased over the past couple of months. All of the new panels hung appear to belong to other carriers who have deployed LTE/system upgrades at the airport. Using other devices from friends seem to confirm that. However, although there may be some internal things going on there not related to panels, I have not seen any other activity at the airport. Even with all of the updates going on in our area the airport still has not been upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 There is a COW on Fletcher and the USF area near the watertower. It definatly has LTE abord because near it my db was -65 or so near it. I think someone else on this forum mentioned it before, but this is the first time I drove near it with signal check and confirmed the LTE.

Yeah, I reported on it's location when they first lost the tower on the Edge. However, prior to this it never had LTE, and for awhile it didn't even have EVDO. This is the first time I have heard of a COW actually broadcasting LTE. Good find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one other someone mentioned in Dover, Delaware for the races. The whole North Tampa area has excellent LTE coverage now. Another one went live today on Florida Ave south of Fletcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Oh yeah the Tampa has the best 4g LTE coverage in Florida even without 800 and 2600 mhz LTE. My EVO LTE couldnt drop a signal there at all. That's saying a lot There is one other someone mentioned in Dover, Delaware for the races. The whole North Tampa area has excellent LTE coverage now.

Terrell352 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Really makes me miss that city.... among other reasons of course.I want to move there. Not as much traffic as orlando, Jacksonville and Miami which is nice and they get special treatment from all the 4 carriers. Every network in Tampa is good Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 There is one other someone mentioned in Dover, Delaware for the races. The whole North Tampa area has excellent LTE coverage now. Another one went live today on Florida Ave south of Fletcher. The NASCOWs they brought out for both races in Dover, DE where broadcasting LTE. They also took one to Watkins Glen (you can see it on Sensorly). I don't know if every COW has been converted, but some definitely have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Downtown Tampa/Ybor is still lacking LTE, so is the airport/International Malll/Stadium area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Downtown Tampa/Ybor is still lacking LTE, so is the airport/International Malll/Stadium area. We know progress is still going on in outlying areas so I wonder what the deal is with these critical locations... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feech Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 It could be a case of getting to the towers before birds start nesting on them. Its starting to be that time of year..Rooftops typically aren't where Osprey next but even so they are pretty easy to work around on a roof..

tampaflusa Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Is anyone having signal issues today? At multiple locations I kept dropping LTE where I never did before. Its like they lowered the power on all the towers or something. Maybe there testing LTE 800 or something else is causing interference today.

The tower that serves my workplace has been off for the last week. But I assumed in my case they're working on adding NV 3G upgrades.

Since Tampa is a launched market, you can call Sprint and put in a ticket that the tower is down... I did on two so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny789 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Since Tampa is a launched market, you can call Sprint and put in a ticket that the tower is down... What's funny is that I emphasized this very point in a post a while back, but totally forgot until you just said it. Alternatively, I've gotten so used to the network fluctuations- LTE here, but not there - that it didn't really phase me when I lost LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now the LTE is active again in my workplace. It came back about an hour or so ago after a week being AWOL. Still not not seeing any proof of my 3G upgrade theory, but it could also be that this tower serves a lot of people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
