Hi everyone, Sorry about the slow updates today. Sometimes we have to do a little maintenance and this one took longer than planned. When that happens new data received doesn't get added to the maps

Well looks like my time in Tampa is drawing near. I've been accepted to the Master's of Computer Science program at UNF in Jacksonville for the Fall semester. Now I have two NV cities to monitor!!

you still in JAX or are you back in TPA? has the JAX network gotten any better? Last time I was up there LTE was very sparse.

 

Still in Jax.  I'll be back in Tampa next week to visit the Alma Mater and watch us lose against Louisville lol.

 

Yeah LTE is still fairly sparse up here.  Don't find it very often at all in the area I am in.  Makes me miss Tampa.

I live in downtown Jax and get LTE pretty much everywhere I go in town now. The only place I don't get LTE and good network speeds is the Atlantic Blvd/Kernan area and The town centre area. I average 6-12mbps with lots of spikes of 25+Mbps. It is rarely ever slower than 6mbps.

A good portion of this could be because of my HTC Evo LTE... Next phone I look at is going to have to have some better RF performance.  I live right next to TownCenter so my phone is largely unusable right now, but I'm patient.

Man, this forum got real quiet lately. I have very good news, the Brandon town center tower is up and running. I went ahead and mapped a little bit but that area has been extensively map before with weak signals so it's gonna take a couple of mapping runs to make it dark purple. Also, it looks like the tower on Dale Mabry and Gunn Highway is about to go live.

Edit: A tower is live on Adamo and US 301 area in Brandon I noticed driving through.

The true test will be a walking inside the mall on the weekend and being able to use data.

Any 4G in RayJay yet?  I'm coming down for the USF Homecoming game this week.

Maybe if you're in the higher seats, the area has about -115 dBm average. I was able to browse the internet on 4G recently at an event across the street at the Yankees field.

I used to wait outside the gate for four hours prior to the games so I could get first row in the endzone, so I can't settle for anything less than lower level now lol.  Got a decent seat about halfway down the 100 level across from the student section.

 

Guess no LTE for me lol.

I'm at Brandon Mall using the LTE adjacent tower. Signal strength is fantastic, as EVDO always has been. Data speeds are also fantastic, unlike legacy EVDO, about 19 Mbps down and 6 up.

 

However, the mall is kind of dead right now. It's filling up for lunch, but the kiddies are still in school. The real test of the improvements will be the upcoming holiday season. Of course, I avoid the mall like the plague due to traffic, so I likely won't be around to test things. :P

Especially that mall during the holidays. I lived over there for a few years and from late Oct until mid January I would do anything to avoid that area. What a clusterfrack.

Sprint seems to slow down production of the upgrades the week of Christmas though so I hope they have one hell of a November upgrade wise.

Did anyone else notice that on the One Up program Florida is not listed as excluded anymore and on D.C. is now?

I think that state regulators need to be involved for them to roll out programs like that.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are as many Link5G sites as there are reserved small cells from franchisees in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them. — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
