Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

For you guys mapping today. If you think you are near a LTE area do a toggle. My phone was flawless today picking it up and I got comfortable. In two areas in downtown St Pete I toggled and hit a signal. Unusable but still there

those that have done some mapping, what type of coverage are we getting in the new areas since sensorly is being slow?

Unbelievable is the only word I could use. Like someone turned up the transmit power..

Man I'm loving this speeds are good I'm so happy I didn't switch to T-Mobile it was worth the wait. I also want to say thank you to Robert, Feech, wildman and thoughts who have been tracking this for use for months thanks guys

Its all of us really, just think there are sites that we don't even know about. That tower was right in your backyard and you had no idea. Between all of us there maybe 4,5 6 who knows how many more we haven't seen.

I know they are on this forum.

 

I mapped some 3g yesterday.. No 4g to map yet. Just panels and RRUs to take pictures of. Anyways, it hasn't shown up on the map either.

 

I make sure to map any streets that aren't mapped yet on my normal travels especially in low signal areas. ;)

It took some playing around with the zoom on Sensorly, but I am definitely seeing LTE in Brandon and over near Clearwater. I think the Sensorly servers are gonna shut down with all of our activity... ;)

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
