yeah i drove by it every day lol panels have been up for months maybe or 4-5 the slab got pourd and cabinets maybe 3 and backhaul didnt happen till like a week ago or when ever i reported it in here... and inspection must have been today! or last night if i didnt notice but more than likely today

 

 

so what ever time period that is its rough and not all roll outs are the same . im pretty sure they just put up what they have available to them

 

That's probably the tower that I mapped last night down walsingham. It came online yesterday.

hey guys railroad tower is up

up the people and reported i saw were adding backhaul got 4g inside my house :) finally

 

and i got a db increase from 1 bar to too soooo happy cant wait for the rest to be done around me and 800. places in my house where i had no service/missed a ton of calls i now have 1 bar of service.

 

 

and i just finally finished re writing tether code for s3 aokp rom.

 

I was just getting on to find you about this. Its hard to tell but I was pretty sure it was up. I saw on Sensorly the spot at Walsingham and thought it could be up. As I moved further away from the Seminole Mall site I could see my signal strength get better. When I got to Raildroad site it was low 80's. How good is your signal in the house?

We still have in Pinellas 4 other sites that have panels up that I know of and not broadcasting yet too. 1 of those will give great coverage East/West coverage along Ulmerton Rd, another will provide the coverage North/South on 66th.

The one on Fowler is my home tower. Was just going out to eat on BB Downs.

The EVO is fickle with a LTE signal. The same thing just happened to me at Chick fila on Bruce B Downs and 75, LTE outside but none inside.

I suspected Lithia Pinecrest near Lynx Paw Trail as the source of new LTE in the area, but your site jives with my findings.

 

I still suspect Lithia Pinecrest/Lynx Paw, only because I get LTE as far as Boyette and Dorman. And that's on an iPhone, so you know that the tower must be relatively close.

 

I did some checking using the iPhone's Field Test and it turns out that the signal I see in this area is still from the Bell Shoals site. Per Robert's suggestion, I am keeping a log of the LTE sites and sectors that I connect to, which is the only way I way able to figure this out..

Yep, we have been doing this from the get go in the NOLA sponsor thread. I have been tracking work as soon as we saw things happening. We track a lot of info there for an instant snapshot of everything including individual links to tower coverage in Sensorly. It is the only real way to know when new sites come online.

So anyone notice LOL tower not brodcasting LTE today? Note II didn't pick it up automatically today so I cycled AP mode both on the morning and in the afternoon when driving by and it didn't pick up LTE stayed at 3G. it was fast 3G 1.5Mbps up stream but still just 3G.

The tower at Tampa Airport might be broadcasting.

Wasn't yesterday when I was there... I work there and have been watching for any work on the Marriott where the Sprint upgrade is supposedly in progress. There are Sprint sites on the lot in the direction of Boy Scout Rd. However, when I leave I am scanning for LTE and when I left yesterday there was none. Would be great if I could roll in there early Sunday morning and have it be on!

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.

I also noticed this on my GS3. The site that shows the blip has had it's Panels installed for going on 2 months now. So I am assuming it's blocked for one reason or another.

    • 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?
