Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

[James]

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.

I'm really close to the BB Downs tower and can't get an LTE signal inside. Kind of a shame :/

Is that your home tower or will another near you be upgraded?

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?

[Feech]

Oh and you Tampa guys are no good. You used to come over and map with us and find our sites. Now you got your own LTE to play with..I'm a Sad Panda

[TuX]

High 90 low 100 its better than 1x

 

 

You see the new backhaul

[Feech]

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.

I would think that you are getting good speeds then. Anywhere between 4-9?

Honestly, I don't get over that way much for any reason. I have no idea whats going on over that way. I would bet its coming though

[bill3345]

I'm sure it is. But as of right now, I've got 2 bars of 3G. But my download speeds are .80 mbps though.

I'm getting LTE on Slight and Anderson I wonder if this is coming from the Marriott at TIA.

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

The tower at Tampa Airport might be broadcasting.

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.

[Manny789]

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.

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.

I just had LTE signal on Hillsbrough and Anderson any one wanna map that?

Looks like a new tower is up in the town n country Carrolwood area. I was picking up a weak signal at Busch and Armenia.

[Mr Goats]

Might just be the bearrs tower being adjusted.

[mikeg001]

how do you determine what tower is servicing LTE from the field tech mode on a iphone?
