Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

So I finally caught someone at a site I was hawking for the last few weeks. It wasn't Ericsson but it was the contractor for the backhaul. Fiberlight was the name of the company. Told me he has 32 sites that they are contracted for and 28 of them are done also said that Brighthouse is the other provider. He said that the difference between them and Brighthouse is that they build right into the site as opposed to what they do which is have Sprint build out to the demarcation. Said that they also in the case of the 28 they have done they are waiting for Sprint to provide what they need. I hate that I have about 10 more questions I just thought of.

You guys that are sponsors. If you look at Pinellas county and the in Progress towers specifically. The tower I saw today is damn near smack in the middle of the other towers. This will be a monster area when it lights up.

that's the truth, I would pay whatever to get FIOS in this area..

 

Sorry I am going off topic, but I am canceling my FIOS, I am at my 2 year anniversary, they want me to sign a 2yr deal and give me $20/mo discount. so it would be $125 still I am signing up under my wife's name because that is the only way I can the good deal. My wife as a new customer gets $79.99/mo/2yrs and a $300 gift card.

Hey guys, I've never posted before but I've been keeping up with this thread for a while now. I live in St.Petersburg and work for the water department. So I go all over the city every day. From the bayway up to gandy. I just wanted too let yall know I'll be keeping an eye on my phone looking for LTE. If I do come across any I'll fire up sensory and post asap. I'll also post any work I see being done.

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however. 
    • T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.  
    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
