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.

      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....
