From the permits I have seen I would say anywhere between 6 and 10 contractors. Each contractor may have about 4 crews. Keep in mind that each contractor may sub his work out to another contractor too. Yes both sides of the bay same time

 

 

Thanks Feech. As always, you're the man.

I drive by there everyday so I will keep a lookout also.

 

I too drive by everyday on way home from work.

 

I work in Sable Park and the tower nearest me hasn't had any work on it yet. and we need it. my speeds are ussually around 120K up and 60K down. very sad.

I'll be driving to work via Suncoast/Lutz-Lake Fern/Dale Mabry tomorrow AM. Will end near Dale Mabry and Cypress. I'll keep Sensorly running on the commute.

 

If Sensorly is continuously running then your phone probably won't search for 4G. Run the LTE Discovery app and when/if it picks something up then switch to Sensorly.

It will sometimes...in between the point uploads. Change your settings in Sensorly to upload only on Wifi while LTE hunting. Just don't forget to set it back later. Picks up just fine then.

Any word on western Pasco, New Port Richey, Holiday, Tarpon Springs.... that area...

 

I have been looking at the towers near me. one off Mitchel Ranch, one off Main and Rowan, and a couple others and I don't see any panels up yet.

 

Haven't seen any new Panels on the SEA Castle at Gulf Harbors either.

I ran LTE Discovery on the drive this morning, on the same route I mentioned in my earlier message. Came up with nothing.

 

I don't know if it's the way my phone works, or the behavior of the app...but the app reports LTE, for the split second immediately after coming out of airplane mode. It then progresses through unknown (<1sec), then 1x (<1sec), before settling on eHRPD (until next airplane mode cycle).

 

To keep the app from stopping the scan on each false positive, I enabled the option to keep running, even after discovering LTE.

The phantom LTE is actually something the phone is picking up and reporting to the app. Its been seen a lot on EVO LTE's in areas that are actively deploying. Someone suggested that the phantom LTE blip may suggest a blocked LTE connection in the area.

Anyone picking LTE on Dale Mabry? I pick it up and dropped it again. Until i got back home.

 

Wear did you get it? I mapped.4g there from around Fletcher to near Van Dyke. Have at Sensorly.

Then it happened on my entire drive today. I live near SR52 and Moon Lake Rd, in Pasco. From the time I left the driveway, until I arrived at the office in Tampa, it happened on every cycle. So either it is a false positive, or there's about to be a ton of LTE coming online very soon.

    • 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....
