Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

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...

I did a little more mapping of the new tower at SR54 & I75. I started on SR54 near the Land O Lakes tower area, then headed East on SR54. I made one loop of the area, then headed towards Zephyrhills. If no one else maps in the area, I might take another drive around tomorrow. There should be a lot of coverage yet to be found...

I couldn't wait, so I just did a huge Sensorly mapping drive around the unmapped areas of the tower at SR54 & I75...

 

The data should be showing up on Sensorly as I type..

I leave Sensorly open as a tab in my broswer, so I saw the coverage before you drove around, then I refreshed the page, and saw the new tracks. You did a a ton of driving, and that tower seems to have a big footprint. I'm surprised to see it carry up Old Pasco Rd, as far as SR52. Is that all off the same tower, or could there possibly be another one up there?

Just started to receive LTE in my house today. Yesterday I was receiving not so great 3G signals but it seems as if a flip has been switched and LTE was turned on. These speeds are amazing and I hope they stay this way!

Would you mind if I asked roughly where you were located?

I live in the Azalea neighborhood near Tyrone Mall in Saint Petersburg. Also around 9th Avenue and 72nd Street North. Hope that helps.

Wish someone would map citrus park better. The signal is coming from where wilsky turns into the Vet. So there is still a ton of unmapped area.

 

I'll be out there tomorrow night, mostly Linebaugh, Anderson and Nixon. I'll be sure to put some tracks on Sensorly for you.

I live roughly in the same area. I have no LTE in the house. That doesn't mean anything of course. You have be getting a signal from an in progress site that my have been turned on. I'll know in the morning when I drive by the site

Mapped on Sensorly. Looks like the in progress site is live near Tyrone and 66th..signal was sub 90 in that area

Is it possible I'm picking up that sites signal? I'm also receiving four bars and LTE right at the light of 5th Avenue North and 66th Street North. And another strange thing is yesterday I had a friend at my house and she has a Samsung Galaxy S3. I was receiving LTE on my iPhone 5 but she was still receiving poor 3G signals.

I'm waiting for my tracks to show up.. Should be a dark purple but it didn't carry that far to Central Ave.. So it must go down 22nd maybe and rely on another site to the south to pick it up into Gulfport?

If you zoom in close at tyrone and 30th av n there's a few dark spots.

As I came across Tyrone to 66th, my signal was about -110 which I expected coming from the site at 66th and 54th, as I headed south on 66th though my signal dropped to -79 to -90

    • 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?
