Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market


Feech

Recommended Posts

Is there a map where we can see how far they have got? i really wish i could find out what they are doing here in Bradenton Sarasota for it.

 

You should be asking in the South-West Florida thread. There will be more people talking about it that live in your area.

I have looked over the whole internet and Bradenton Sarasota was on the list from Oct.I really need to know what is going to happen with LTE in 2013 here as Verizon has had LTE here for awhile now and if they dont have it here when my contract is up or at least coming soon i am going to bolt.

 

But i can't find anything other then the press release from OCT for Sarasota Bradenton LTE

 

thanks

 

Work is under way in the SW Florida market, but it is not as advanced as the Tampa market. You should check out this thread which shows you what to look for on your towers: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2902-how-to-spot-sprint-panels-and-rrus-ericsson-style/

 

Additionally, if you become a Sponsor, you can see maps of all the sites in your area, as well as get access to maps of all the sites complete.

There are workers right now at 4040 w waters ave there are def sprint LTE panels up. The company doing it is named rapidsys

 

Rapidsys (Rapid Systems) is a fixed wireless Internet (802.11) service in the area. They may have been working on their own equipment on that tower.

 

But, I guess there's a slight chance that they could be providing backhaul to Sprint for that tower? It would be unusual, but I think they would have the bandwidth to support it.

I just drove past the cell tower at Bears Avenue and I 275. There is definitely no LTE coming from at Tower at this time. Also, I picked up EVDO revision a instead of EHRPD around that tower.

We've seen this phenomenon from a few completed sites recently, where they should be broadcasting LTE, but appear blocked, yet the 3G is EVDO-A from that site, but the rest of the market is eHRPD. Not sure why that is.

I don't know how to do that new to the whole map and marking. My iPhone isn't dropping the LTE signal what so ever. Since I took the pic.

I phone aint gonna cut it. Need an Android user to map on Sensorly..Good looking out though. I know this will make you Tampa boys happy

Mapping the Bearss tower and am all the way out to Dale Mabry now.

 

I'm planning on making a trip down there shortly too. What roads did you map? I'll try to hit the area from a different direction to keep from duplicating what you've mapped.

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
