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!!

Have any of you tried looking at the current NV complete map next to the roll out map? I know Pinellas looks almost done with 4G deployment

 

I hope not. There are still some pretty big holes out there. And in some spots the 4G signal is so bad your better off switching back to 3G.

The tower on Kings Ave and Bloomingdale Ave is live. I really didn't have time to map.

That's good news, nice to see another tower on my end of town go hot.  I'm sure one of us will do some mapping over that way this week.  Still surprised the tower at Brandon Mall doesn't have anything going on.

I still can't believe they haven't even started construction of the LTE equipment on the tower by the Dallas Bull. That is the tower that supports my office, and we are soo saturated here, around 50-60 Blackberries and I know a number of those BB holders have personal Smartphones on Sprint, that is just in my office. and there are at least 3 other office buildings in close proximity.

Anyone know what's going on in downtown Tampa? I work in downtown, and while I always have great signal strength, data speeds are never that great. I've yet to see speed improvements anywhere in Tampa yet. Kind of curious where their downtown Tampa antennas are too.

 

I was told (on the Sprint community forums) that upgrades are slated for "within the next 3 months", but I don't know how accurate that is.

I can't answer the question but I'm pretty sure that up towards UT there is LTE but weak. I think Tampa will be a coverage issue initially

It definitely feels that way. What makes you think that?

 

I'm on an iPhone 4S so I don't think I'll see any benefits of the LTE goodness, nor the coverage benefit of the 800Mhz rollout. I am hoping my 3G speeds someday break past the 250ms latency 20kbps ballpark though :-).

The tower on N. 50th St. (US-41) and 10th (between I-4 and SR-60) is live with LTE now.  I mapped along 60 near there but next time I drive home from work I'll take 50th south of I-4 and map near the tower (unless someone beats me to it).

Looks like they've been busy on that tower the last 2 weeks. Check the sponsers map, you will be happy.

So Tower by the Dallas Bull on 301 got panels last week.  looks like it was turned on sometime between Monday afternoon and this morning because I wasn't at work yesterday. Monday morning we didn't have very good LTE at the office now it is decent... I just hate that building penetration is so bad. In the parking lot of my building I am getting almost 3Mb up and 3Mb down. but 100 yards away in my office it still shows 4G LTE.  RSRP -115dBm RSRQ -14dB but I am getting a whooping 200kb up and 400kb down. that is still much better than I was getting with 3G which hardly ever make it out of the double digit Kb.  If it will allow me to stream Pandora, Play Music or Songza I will be happy.

I connected to 800 voice today at Harney Rd and US 301 today. Tried to make a call to test but it took forever and then switched to 1X and went through.

Unfortunately just like the donut sites being all over in Ericsson markets the dead 1x800 has been launching everywhere blocking inbound and outbound calls in areas. We had no voice in a large portion of the city for 6 days straight until they fixed it.

OMG I've been waiting forever for 1x 800 and finally comes as I leave! Ahhhhh!

 

But this is GREAT news!

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
