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!!

Also, the Bearss site was in our last update, as accepted complete on Friday 1/4.

Robert, how much do you know about Sprint's mobile towers on trucks? They have deployed one on campus to replace the tower they lost (TA60XC129) when the building it was on needed to be demolished. While it's nice to have some coverage that was lost, it is also annoying as well. It only broadcasts a very strong 1X signal and no EVDO. It also seems like the 1X will just drop off from 6 bars to none when you get out of it's range, which strikes me as incredibly odd. The signal doesn't seem particularly reliable either- call quality suffers.

 

It's just North of the water tower, by the AT&T tower on a truck if any of you USF peeps are interested.

I've been wondering why my iPhone drops to 2G in that area. Mystery solved.

I don't know much about their COWs at all. Sorry.

i did pick up some lte over that area yesterday. I had LTE Discovery running not sensory so it did not map it.

 

I was about 60ft up on top of a parking garage

 

Here are the coordinates:

 

27.95153045, -82.44850427

Glad to hear your using the app. I was wondering if any of the Tampa crowd were using it. Working on another project right now, but after that I have a big update planned for the app.

I didn't know you had written that app. Cool :)

The map on Senorly is kinda off I think I was driving on Bearss ave heading to Chick Fil A for college day my LTE signal drop. Is that area not have LTE?

 

To be expected. The signal is very very weak there, so some phones may not pick it up at all.

I live near the intersection of park and Seminole. I actually get LTE at home but it's very weak and drops back to 3g a lot. Coverage seems to come all the way from the 66th st tower.

It's not so much as the towers getting stronger, as it will be for more towers coming online. When more towers get up, the coverage will get denser.

      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....
