Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

ok any idea when those towers over there will be turn on?

 

Not really. Deployment is happening all over the area. Could happen tomorrow, could happen two months from now.

Ohh ok

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.

isn't the tower near the Largo Mall closer to you?

In fringe areas the EVO LTE is not the best phone for LTE?

[Mr Goats]

Heads up, just picked up some good LTE at hillsborough on 275 on my way home just now.

Been working fine for me.

[Mr Goats]

Anyone know what tower is broadcasting near 275 and hillsborough? None are marked as in progress. I just happened to glance at my phone as going over hillsborough and noticed a good lte signal.

[SpenceSouth]

Run around with Sensorly and we should be able to get a better idea of where its coming from.

iPhone

[Gavisann]

I guess it is possible to pick it up from the Bears and 275 tower.

Yeah, looking at the map it might have been a rogue signal from that tower. Would be quite the stretch but not unreasonable.

Wouldn't surprise me at all at this point.

I think there about the same distance. When looking at the serving cell on the LTE engineering screen it bounces between the Largo mall and the 66th st one, but mostly stays on the 66th st one.

Can anyone tell me if there is a tower in the area where my location is, like one that hasn't gone live yet.

It's frustrating having LTE the majority of where I go but having the worst service ever at my apt!

No service in that area yet. The market is actively being deployed and they are allowing early connections to sites that are complete.

 

Personally, I don't need LTE at my home. I have WiFi. I need LTE where I go. LTE at home is a novelty, and a milestone. It's not a necessity.

I understand. It's that I'm not home enough to need wifi, but the service is just a killer where I live lol.

 

Thanks though. I appreciate your swift response.

Looks like that's by the airport. That is by far the most frustrating area. I work over in the tech data complex. Its a total black hole for Sprint and has been since at least 2004

Hi all, I'm new to the site and forum but quickly became a sponsor because of how interesting it is. Just curious, from exerpts of previous posts I am gathering that the sensorly app may not work (as far as mapping LTE) with the Iphone 5. Is that true and if so, does anyone know why?

Very true. Apple doesn't allow apps to access a lot of the information necessary for it to map on Sensorly.

It's pretty close and totally annoying because I get great service just about everywhere else haha.

[hopeforLTE1]

I hope Monday I got to work and got LTE I work about a half a mile from the 301 tower by the junk yard

[thtguyuknw]

Noticed tower climbers and rigging working on sprint lte panels/rrus on the east side of the veterans just north of waters. sorry I couldn't get pics.

[James]

Mapped some LTE on sand key and Clearwater beach on sensorly. Not sure where it's coming from hard to tell when your by the water.

[XAntonio917X]

Anybody know if there active towers broadcasting LTE around Hilleborough heading towards the casino?

[thtguyuknw]

Odd one. after losing LTE heading south on 75 near BBdowns 3G didn't automatically pickup. I was showing no connection to the Hillsborough river where I cycled Airplane mode, and then 3G picked back up.
