So I've been following this site since I got my iPhone 5, Sprint. I noticed this morning ( havent been on here in a few weeks ) that people were getting 4G LTE. So I turned mine on before I went to work this morning. I live close to Erlich and the Vets. Which has always been a bad 4G, 3G area. Especially in my house.

 

I started picking up 4G LTE from the McDonalds on Erlich, all the way down to about Hillsborough on I275. I lost it on I4. I work off MKL Jr and Falkenburg.

 

Soooo glad 4G LTE is now in Tampa....

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!!

Picked up a marginal LTE signal on Dale Mabry, from north of Hillsborough, to south of Waters (near Hamilton). I wasn't able to run a speedtest at the time, but Sensorly should have picked it up, unless someone already got there before me.

 

Signal was about half-scale in the area.

Still nothing east of 275 from Pinellas Point all the way up to the Howard Franklin in St. Pete.

 

Strange right? Do you work in that area or live over there? I wonder if something might be live but no one has stumbled across it yet? I did find a tower with panels on it just west on 275 but it would provide coverage to the east pretty far.

I live off 38 ave n and 16 st. I haven't seen any work being done by me or haven't seen any panels up. That's not to say I'm looking in the right spot or that I know what I'm looking at when I see it. ;-)

So I stopped off st McDonalds at 50th and Broadway to grab a bite on my way home and look who I found on the tower across the street. Tower dogs hanging Sprint panels with RRUs in the well known configuration. And oh yeah, the McRib is back :)

Those 'tower dogs' seem to be all over the place lately.

Nothing new in my neck of the woods. It seems like they stopped in St. Pete for a bit. Haven't seen anyone on any towers around here.

I know right? Boo Tampa lol. For real though we have more than a few in progress sites that are ready to just be turned on it seems, so we are likely close to seeing a few turned on..The Starkey site has backhaul installed, another site off of Ulmerton is ready to be turned on. Both of those will fill in coverage quite a bit. I said this awhile back but my guess is whoever is the guy that says yes turn this tower on, likely does it in Orlando, Tampa, and maybe the S/W region. I bet we will see some things lite up the next two weeks here in Pinellas

It's weird, just started happening a few days ago. I'll be driving where there is LTE but my phone will stay on 3G unless I restart it. It seems even when I restart it it will grab LTE and then switch back to 3G.

If you look at the NV running list, it appears they are severely delayed in the Tampa market :/

All Florida markets were severely delayed. The SW Florida market the most.

      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....
