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?

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

    • 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.
    • 5G in the U.S. – Additional Mid-band Spectrum Driving Performance Gains T-Mobile holds on to it's lead in 5G Speed
    • 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....
