Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market


Feech

Recommended Posts

You only get it on the North side of the 6th floor? I would say that's for sure the LOL tower then. As a USF student I was getting my hopes up of having LTE on campus. OH well....

 

I walked to the West side and the South side, and no 4G. Sorry... I can also confirm that there is no LTE coverage at the Hooters across from the Hospital... ;)

Soon! I don't know if you saw my post a couple of days ago, but the tower behind Perkins has NV panels installed already. That tower alone covers my apt, commute, and job so I'll be pretty happy when it's done.

Who do we have on this thread that doesn't live in St. Pete or Brandon lol? Got a lot of you guys out there finding stuff left and right but i'm surprised nothing has lit up in the general Tampa area yet.

I've got Citrus Park and Carrolwood covered. I also take 275(from Gunn Hwy) to I4 to 75 down to Brandon Blvd everyday to work so I've got a lot of turf covered.

I was just on the 6th floor of Florida Hospital Tampa again tonight & was able to pickup and stay connected to LTE once again. The room faces North. I got 'screenshots' of my Sensorly showing my location & the 4G icon. I went to my LTE Engineering screen ang got what I hope us the info that shows what tower I was connected to. I'm guessing the LOL/SR54 Tower, as I've never been able to pick up the tower supposedly live @ Fowler & 50th St. I ran speed tests of around 8-9mbps down, and up to ~1.5mbps down.

No need to take pictures of your phone. Turn on the motion setting then put a check next to palm swip capture or whatever it is. Swipe your palm and boom, screenshot.

I took pictures of various Sprint towers in N Hillsborough County & SE Pasco County over the last few weeks. I'm working on uploading them.

The one right next to campus on 50th and Fowler. Look back through the posts and you can see a pic of the panels.

 

The one on Fowler near the Sprint Store?

 

Indeed.

One last update... I was able to connect to LTE just N of Livingston while traveling N on I275 tonight. I disconnected briefly just before I75, but then kept LTE all the way to the rest stop on I75, N of SR 56. I was running Sensorly, and the updated coverage was visable when zoomed in fairly close. This was surprising, as I passed at least two other Sprint towers while mapping...

So looking at sensorly is it in the future to see almost every thing filled in from spring hill, wesley chapel and brandon to the gulf coast ?

 

From what I've heard, mostly here on S4GR.com, yes! If I understand it correctly, pretty much everywhere there is 3G coverage now should get 4G LTE, sooner or later. And, when they take the old Nextel 800mhz and decommission it, they will then switch on 800mhz voice, then somewhat later 800mhz LTE. When that happens, coverage inside buildings and in fringe areas were there is 800mhz will get much better. However, supposedly our current phones only support 800mhz voice, but do not support 800mhz LTE...

I mapped some more LTE on countryside and around McMullen booth enterprise intersection.

 

I saw that. Did you see the spot that showed up at the St. Pete/Clearwater airport? I'm about to take a break and see what I can find..

I see that now. Definitely been a lot of towers coming online in the past few days.

Man it can be a bugger trying to figure out where a signal is coming from when you are over water.

Not sure if you guys have been talking about it or not but a spot near USF/Park Place of Tampa just showed up I think

 

Is that the spot near the corner of Fletcher and BBDs? If so, that may be from when I was at Florida Hospital Tampa. I was able to pickup LTE on the N side of the 6th floor. I suspect I connected to the very distant Land O Lakes LTE tower. I mapped it in Sensorly on several occations...

    • 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?
