Getting the following speeds in the Parsons Ave and SR-60 area of Brandon. The speeds are pretty good considering the past. post-1269-13509651484549_thumb.jpg

This is what I'm getting in Pinellas.. Not everywhere but if I'm at a red light this is about what I'm getting in most places. The other thing that I am seeing a lot but only in the last week is I am spending a bunch of time in 1xRTT in places I have never seen it.

OK so I finally found what I have been looking for. I found the Pinellas County permit online listing. Basically it shows all permits that have been pulled, a description of the job to be done, and the contractor who pulled the permit. I'm looking to see if there is a way to tie Sprint specifically to any job I find. So far 4 upgrades tower permits I have seen.

This same contractor is one that worked for Goff and may still have some affiliation with them. Goff at one time used to install Nextel panel exclusively. Not sure if we ever installed anything else to be honest. This site is not far from my job so I will drive by on the way home today. Based on when the permit was issues it should be good for 90 days so either they are working or getting ready to. I'll know more at 4pm

Do you mind linking me to where you were able to locate these permits, so that I can look in Hillsborough / Polk?

Also I saw Crowne Tower in one permit.. Not sure if it's Sprint related though I saw some T-Mobile stuff too and I know AT&T is out there working now.. Honestly, I'm not sure what any of it means though except permits are pulled but I would imagine that you're not putting out the cash for it if you're a month or more from doing the work

Looking at the Hillsborough one is way more informative. If I cross reference that one with the Pinellas permits I see that the contractors I couldn't ID are likely doing the Sprint work too based on them doing the work over in that county..We are close to seeing some sites lite up I think

I went to the site and took pics. I was able to get closer than just a drive by. Nothing up there no digging evident, groundimng lugs on the tower were not new, cabinets have been there for a bit..

I became a damn near permit expert last night trying to compare permit pulls to completed work in Broward County. Unfortunately, I didn't come up with any results and I was super tired. I can say this though prior to Sept there wasn't a whole lot of tower work permits pulled but Sept and Oct blew up with pulls from not just Sprint but others too. Based on me seeing a few AT&T crews out and about in the last couple of weeks

I'm sure a few of them belong to AT&T. It may be what is slowing down deployment too. There are only so many tower crews to do work and AT&T may be hawking some crews that could be doing Sprint work.

Does anyone else here feel like a kid waiting for Christmas?

 

Yes, and have a feeling it will be Christmas before we see any lights... And, although we thought we might see LTE before they found and captured the loose monkey in St. Petersburg, alas... we are too late. They captured the Macaque today....

Its a sad day here in Pinellas County with my beloved money behind bars..He actually escaped twice out that trap, once by force lol Love that monkey

 

I'm thinking we will see LTE before xmas at least I hope. My thinking is as a contractor you wouldn't be shelling out money for permits unless you were close to do the work. Its not a lot of cash but still its money you are shelling out, so they have to think they are doing, completing, and billing.
