Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market


Feech

Recommended Posts

I've looked at some towers in my area off Gunn Hwy, I can't seem to tell the difference between the hardware at the top. Anyone willing to explain this to me so I can keep you updated in this area.

 

I also drive everyday Bush > 275 > I4 >75 > Brandon Blvd.

I didn't get it either but my network screen showed I was in a LTE area. What phone do you have?

iPhone 5 - Should I download Sensorly? If so, how do I use it?

Mr Goats. In this thread there are some good pictures of what you should be seeing in a completed site

I just pulled this up from the app I just downloaded. If there is LTE where I am, I am like borderline. I'm going to take a walk down a few blocks to see if I pick anything up. Will my phone show 4G LTE instead of 3G if I do pick up an LTE signal??

Yeah, I've been following for a bit. I don't know how to tell which transmitters are LTE, they all look very similar to me. Do NV transmitters have any distinct features?

Someone should checkout the Largo area. On the Sprint community discussion page, a lot of people are reporting service problems.

 

I know of 3 sites in Largo/Seminole that have panels up, 2 of them appear ready to go

I've been getting dropped calls for about a month over near largo mall area. It's almost as if the tower in that area won't transfer active phone calls onto it from other sites in the area. Phone service will go to zero and drop then as soon as the call drops service goes back to full and works fine. I assumed it was a NV related issue.

Talked to sprint GM at a corp store in Brandon and he said the Brandon area should be seeing something in a few weeks I hope he is right. That would be great

A few weeks? There have been towers done for some time in St. Pete not fired up yet and we've seen no tower work on the towers around Brandon yet. I was just around the area today and while we were out I was looking. When I have some time I'll ride the stretch down Brandon Blvd and other areas near Brandon Hospital and see if anything has changed, but nothing I have seen recently to say a few weeks.

You would be surprised. I thought I had this area pretty well mapped out between myself and you doing some riding on this side of town. My LTE record is telling me something different though. I got a feeling that Pinellas is lit up under my nose and I had no idea. If the BSID is for different sites then I have at least 7 different ones
