Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

i meant wimax sorry

 

iPhones are not WiMax capable. WiMax is a dying technology. It stopped being deployed almost two years ago. No one is creating WiMax devices anymore, and Apple never started. In order to use WiMax on an iPhone you need a WiMax hotspot or FreedomPop sleeve.

There's life in Lakeland!

 

My friend is now running Sensorly, and is reporting LTE in the Lakeland Highlands area. It's south of the Polk Parkway, and east of SR 37. It's not an all map layers yet, so you may need to zoom in/out a couple of times.

Yeah I Sell Sprint inside the Citrus Park Mall and live right off of Anderson. I had the LTE on my phone all the way to the mall. Did a speed test and had over 17mb download. The signal is not strong enough yet to come inside the mall but still great to know that it is coming. Also selling Sprint is how I pay my bills!!! Can't wait for the day I don't have to hear "why does my phone only say 3g, I thought it was 4g".

I just mapped some spots on between Hanley and Waters - Sheldon and Waters. I Work in that plaza @ Hanley and Waters and I notice I got 4g during the day. Inside the building I got one bar of signal and download speed suk, less than .500m. Outside the building 2 bars of signal downloading little less than 5m. Still suk, but better than .050m 3g

Yeah it's the tower just north of wilkey that's broadcasting. I drove over to it today it's got RUUs up and I had a strong lte signal. I wasn't able to take great photos because its located on someone property and it was set back a bit.

Does Sprint transmit from any of the flagpole-style towers (54@Suncoast, I-75 near Apollo Beach, for just two examples) that are scattered around the area? If so, is there enough room to cram LTE hardware into those sites?

If you can, donate a little bit to gain access to the sponsor maps. I don't believe there are any sites in Tampa area that aren't going to be upgraded.

I'm picking up LTE in N Wesley Chapel, near Zephyrhills. I'm mapping it in Sensorly. I'm sure it's a new tower. I just cannot say which one it is just yet. I'll be out mapping for a while. More to come... :)

It looks like in Sensorly that the tower near SR 54 and 75 is broadcasting LTE now in Wesley Chapel.

That's my best guess. I was able to get over 25mbps down near I75 & SR54. And around 7mbps down at SR54 & Morris Bridge Rd. I will map more later this evening. There was 4G all the way from near Zephyrhills, down SR54 to I75, then S to Bruce B Down. I mapped in Sensorly the whole way.

 

I'm back at 'University Hospital' / FL Hospital Tampa once again, as my poor grandmother is ill again. Also, picking up 4G at the hospital again...

    • Probably a lot of Midwest towers. Slight bias since Nebraska is a weird market, but there are tons of USCC sites that T-Mobile isn't yet co-located on. Think a similar situation in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri. But some other markets, like yours, probably don't have that issue!
    • Sticky Customers - YES, and leave them flip to the T-Mobile PLMN when needed and they will be even more likely to Stick.
    • It seems to me that if the goal is to improve rural, the US Cellular buy-out would get them only part of the way there, considering there are plenty of rural areas that US Cellular does not serve.  But I also have a hard time reading it the way I think that article is, that the cost of this deal comes straight out of the $9 billion.  I mean, they're getting spectrum for their existing operations in US Cellular markets, including places that I wouldn't call rural.  (Roanoke, VA is the 9th largest city in the state, for example.)  It seems like some of it should be allocated to rural expansion, but certainly not the whole purchase price. There's also something to be said for getting the customer base of potentially sticky customers who have been used to US Cellular being the only game in town for potentially decades. - Trip
    • T-Mobile has stated 15% of their sites don't have 5g triband. In WV I know WISPs had a lot of 2.5GHz, but T-Mobile was trying to buy as much as possible. More rural FWA would be a big selling point that might overcome any soft bandwidth cap slight overages. Especially since UScellular likely started offering it on c-band.
