boomerbubba Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 link me on google maps the next closest ive been soopin round there and cant find it If you explore the cross streets on the north side of Ulmerton, in the vicinity of Sprint's pointer about midway between 119th Street and Ridge Road, you will find a cell tower on Google Street View. I am not going to confirm for you, here in this non-Sponsor thread, whether or not this is Sprint's tower. (If you go to that physical location, maybe you can determine that for yourself.)

boomerbubba Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 link me on google maps the next closest ive been soopin round there and cant find it and the one your talking bout feech is the newest tower with across the street by the houses? https://maps.google....77.39,,1,-31.22 ^ this one is the only other one closer to the sprint map i didt even think it was on there ive been to this one and it has a place that says this is tower number 85107 on a sign on the chain link fence or somethig to that degree are we talking about the same one? its address is 2310 RAILROAD AVE Unfortunately, the signs posted at tower sites often do not even identify the carrier(s). The most authoritative source for Sprint tower maps is the set of Sponsor maps at S4GRU. So long as you avoid Sponsor status, you are crippling your abiltiy to survey Sprint sites. What I don't understand, since you already visited the tower on Railroad, is why you assumed that was not a Sprint tower, but you assumed that the tower you saw on Ulmerton was. Or why you asserted above that no such tower existed north of Ulmerton if you had been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuX Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) We'll it is that tower and it is nv built new slab there There was a sign that said some other stuff Edited November 21, 2012 by TuX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuX Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) nothing else as far as i could tell saw a truck there a little bit later dunno if sprint or not when I was going to a job ( i live with in a mile or 2 from it ) some how I have 1 bar of service or no service. Well not some how but my house is made out of poured concrete so pretty much everything sucks cept att which has 800. well see how 800 mhz handles for calls when it gets implemented. Even vzw and tmo indoors suck here and i thought they had lower frequency channels maybe it was a handset hardware compatibility issue didnt know the phones too well. does anyone know if NV includes 800 voice in this area? and does first gen lte include hd audio lte? I heard its just a software upgrade to the advanced LTE Edited November 21, 2012 by TuX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildman Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 So, we all know of the new sites with antennas over near Kenneth City and Lealman, etc. Has anyone been checking periodically if any of these sites have 4G turned on? I need some 4G news without making me ride the hog out to Grant to Sensorly some new sites...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feech Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have gone by all of the sites with panels up.. At different times too have not picked up a signal yet.. On Thursday I saw some trucks at the one near your wifes job but didn't have time to stop it looked like it could have been Ericsson based on the trucks but when I came back they were gone.. I'm expecting that one of these sites will come alive any day though Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The reason for the Tampa market delay in sites coming online may be related to the core for the market. Robert via Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keelerman8042 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The 4g core is where all the data is sent if that's not up then there's no point in turning on any of the towers or testing til it's up , that's could be the reason as rob said that there's no signals but work is still being done my guess is they will come on in a big group to meet that December time frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feech Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 I need to go back and re-read the ehrpd thread I started. I guess I thought that if you had that showing and data was going thru, then the core was ready..as much as I love this site, I hate it because it shows me how much I don't know I guess back to the drawing board..

Tux, someone will chime in if I'm wrong but the site itself has nothing to do with ehrpd. Its just the road for the data. Check your phone to make surre it is in CDMA/LTE. When I first discovered I had ehrpd I would lose it now and then but its constant now. Can't tell you the last Speed test that I took that didnt have it for the network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
