TangoChaser Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) 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.... Edited January 21, 2013 by TangoChaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampaflusa Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There might be another tower lit in the Gandy area in south Tampa according to Sensorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonacg Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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.

bill3345 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Still nothing east of 275 from Pinellas Point all the way up to the Howard Franklin in St. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thtguyuknw Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 West Pasco is look very Bare right now.... I think it is time for a tower to light up over there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feech Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majorzaid Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just drove past the Land O Lakes tower and it appears that 4g is not on for whatever reason. Sent from my Galaxy S III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpenceSouth Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Saw more 4G by Crescent Hill at USF. Couldn't get Sensorly open though because I was running late for work. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feech Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Funny that 3 weeks ago you Tampa guys were wondering where the LTE was on your side. Funnier that we first started seeing panels in Nov and we are this far along. Sprint Rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djanema1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 i was at 19 and Klosterman yesterday and i had 2 bars of LTE going north... was gone by the time i hit Tarpon Ave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill3345 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Goats Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 iPhone users, are any of you having an issue where your phone won't pick up LTE unless you restart it? Airplane mode and toggling lte just won't cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Goats Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
