Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market


Feech

Recommended Posts

So I finally caught someone at a site I was hawking for the last few weeks. It wasn't Ericsson but it was the contractor for the backhaul. Fiberlight was the name of the company. Told me he has 32 sites that they are contracted for and 28 of them are done also said that Brighthouse is the other provider. He said that the difference between them and Brighthouse is that they build right into the site as opposed to what they do which is have Sprint build out to the demarcation. Said that they also in the case of the 28 they have done they are waiting for Sprint to provide what they need. I hate that I have about 10 more questions I just thought of.

You guys that are sponsors. If you look at Pinellas county and the in Progress towers specifically. The tower I saw today is damn near smack in the middle of the other towers. This will be a monster area when it lights up.

that's the truth, I would pay whatever to get FIOS in this area..

 

Sorry I am going off topic, but I am canceling my FIOS, I am at my 2 year anniversary, they want me to sign a 2yr deal and give me $20/mo discount. so it would be $125 still I am signing up under my wife's name because that is the only way I can the good deal. My wife as a new customer gets $79.99/mo/2yrs and a $300 gift card.

Hey guys, I've never posted before but I've been keeping up with this thread for a while now. I live in St.Petersburg and work for the water department. So I go all over the city every day. From the bayway up to gandy. I just wanted too let yall know I'll be keeping an eye on my phone looking for LTE. If I do come across any I'll fire up sensory and post asap. I'll also post any work I see being done.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
