There's was supposed to be some text with that. Whoops! It was just posted recently, but it certainly does help, especially in Ericsson areas (most of the south).

 

Yeah that is extremely helpful. I gotta say, Digiblur is the man.

Hi everyone, Sorry about the slow updates today. Sometimes we have to do a little maintenance and this one took longer than planned. When that happens new data received doesn't get added to the maps

Well looks like my time in Tampa is drawing near. I've been accepted to the Master's of Computer Science program at UNF in Jacksonville for the Fall semester. Now I have two NV cities to monitor!!

Any way to get info on the NV upgrade status of the tower near my house? TA54XC002. I took some pictures of it today. I don't think I see NV panels or RRUs, but I'm no expert...

I just passed this tower, and I believe there are new NV panels with RRUs on it. I couldn't stop due to being late for something. I will make a trip to take a closer look at the tower as soon as I have some free time, and daylight...

Thanks to Digiblurs guide, I can CONFIRM that NV panels are up and installed on the tower by USF at 50th and Fowler!

 

Edit: Was raining so I'll try to get back tomorrow for pics.

 

Excellent. Get some pics! Cell tower porn... Yum!

Maybe its been there but I'm not sure. Signal seems to be getting stronger as you move east down Lumsden. Sponsors will know where the towers in that area are. I think someone in this thread something about the mall awhile back but not sure.

Someone sent me a PM about it last night. They think it is Site #OR54XC003, just south of Oxford.

It's about an hour and 15 minute drive from me. Would be a nice motorcycle ride but don't think tomorrow's weather would be good for me. Someone else is going to have to map that one :)

I'm visiting the St. Petersburg area this week and I picked up LTE pretty strong on the 22nd Avenue North exit going even a mile or so west of 34th Street (US 19). This was taken off my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0.2 Carrier settings 13.1). I got no LTE in Tampa where I expected to get coverage but ironically in St. Pete I'm carrying about 3 bars consistently where I'm staying. In L.A. LTE is coverage is rapidly being deployed so seems like Sprint is getting their ducks in a row.

They still must be doing some tweaking in that area. West of that intersection earlier this week was giving a very weak signal almost unusable. From that cross street heading south picking up that signal was difficult until you actually got on the street it was actually on. At the time I thought it was odd because it seemed that the tower was serving just that neighborhood, especially because there is another Sprint site that is east of 34th street and Sprint is pretty far up that tower. Good to see they are still tweaking things as they go. Thanks for checking in with us.

There has to be another tower in Brandon in testing or something I drove around causeway by Walmart and Falkenburg and had about 1-2 bars of LTE and than by kings and causeway and had the same 1-2 bars. I mapped by kings and causeway at the 7-11 there today and ran some speed test and was getting 1-3 down and 700-1 up

So much activity in St. Pete!

 

In some ways yes but honestly there are only 3 or 4 active towers.. Sensorly makes it look like a bunch is happening.. Going to check my in progress sites now.. Wish me luck

With that kind of weak performance, the site is far away. It could be the existing known site. But if it is a different one, it is likely several miles away.

Currently working near Busch Gardens and I will be transferred to the downtown Tampa area in about a month so I'll be searching. Question ( and I realize it's a stupid one )....how exactly do I activate the LTE on my HTC Evo LTE? On my old Evo you had to turn on the 4G, but this phone has no such option. Is it automatically on?

It's already active. No on switch needed.

If they light up one more over here by kings it would be good coverage. Seeking what that one is doing

 

The recent update has a tower off Lithia Pinecrest, south of Bloomingdale, listed as in progress.

      You could also just sign up for Project Genesis directly, $400 for the moto edge+ 2023 and $25/month for service.

      Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      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.
