Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market


Feech

Recommended Posts

I didn't say that the LTE core that Tampa uses is not operational at all. I said the delays in these sites being worked on going live MAY be core related. I'm just throwing out ideas. I do not have any definitive knowledge regarding any core issues in the Tampa market.

I wants to share this screen shot of speeds I got on 3G in Westshore Plaza on Kennedy. Does this mean that LTE is near.. 2 Mbps down!!

 

Realistically looking at how low the pings are and the speed you can be pretty damn certain fiber/microwave backhaul has been installed to that site. I've said this a million times but with 3G speeds like that I have no need for LTE! :D

I'm not a big fan of the socioeconomic arguments. Obviously places with a lower population density have less load on the towers.

Lol well it does happen to be that people with more money live in a less dense populated area

 

Regardless if your a fan it's a reality lol and so are the data speed there

Not sure if you guys have mentioned this one before but the top rack of the tower just before exit 42- Howard on I-275 south appears to have NV panels.

 

If that is the case it would be the first set of panels that I have seen for sprint that aren't the lowest on the pole.

You noticed that too? I won't say they are always the lowest but definitely never at the top. I know why my signal at work is always abysmal I'm sure it's not the only reason though

I don't think Robert is done with the update yet but I'm surprised we don't have sites done yet in our area.. Maybe we will see something. It been a few weeks since we spotted the first towers

Was excited to see that work going on but looks like AT&T.

So we have gone another 2 weeks with no sites completed yet. We know that work is being done with at least 5-6 sites in Pinellas that look to be done. We also know from the sites we have looked at, nothing looks to be done in preparation of the deployment. So anyone want to make a guess when will see something?

 

The original date Robert had has passed. So first sites in Dec?

    • June 1st security update installed on s24 ultra factory unlocked. No functional changes detected. No play system update yet.
    • The June security update is out.
    • In China now and roaming on China Mobile with Google Fi/TMUS. 5G is enabled on roaming, however most areas in China have NSA disabled on the network. so SA is the only way to get 5G. This is only possible using a native SIM from the Chinese carriers. Also, LTE CA is disabled on basically every site, except for a few I've come across while on the bullet train.   I'm lucky enough to be in a small town where NSA is still enabled on China mobile, so I'm able to have a decent experience while roaming. Haven't speedtested much but it seems to top out at 300mbps over roaming on b3 + n41 100mhz. The networks here are dense AF and every site seems to have midband 5G deployed. Also, interesting to see that most sites have antennas branded by the carrier, or painted a certain color (which I haven't figured out what that means yet).
    • My S21FE, which is my primary phone, has burned in quite a bit from SCP.  Not sure I could get a good picture of it, so I won't try.  Helpfully, since SCP allows full customization of app colors, I'm going to see if I can't undo it a bit by flipping the colors. https://imgur.com/a/QQr5Ncv We'll see how long my eyes tolerate the change... - Trip
