I'm planning on making a trip down there shortly too. What roads did you map? I'll try to hit the area from a different direction to keep from duplicating what you've mapped.

I got West on Bears and South on 275

I'm driving south on Florida Avenue at Busch Boulevard and I still have LTE. There may be more than 1 tower active in the area... I got over 7mbps down at the corner of Florida & Waters Avenue

I reported my trip to sensorly, should be up soon. I first noticed it outside ISA building at USF and got it on Flecher to nebraska up to about when Dale marby meets nebraska

 

GS3 of course.... Went all around campus just now and couldn't pick anything up lol.

Here is a speedtest I took while sitting outside ISA. 338934834.png.

I took a few more when I had a better signal and it ranged from 2-5mbps, but the upload stayed very low.

 

Today is my Birthday and Sprint gives me LTE on campus. Thanks Sprint!

Took me a while to find it when coming from that side. Didn't get LTE until I had line-of-sight.

I'm at Tower Diagnostic and there no LTE here but I live across the street from the Tower on Bearss Ave and 275 tower and I get strong LTE and great speeds compare to what I was getting before I don't think I need my airwave anymore.

All you Pinellas guys that have been watching towers over the last month or so that hasn't gone live make sure you swing by today and this weekend to check. We have things getting hot over in Tampa so something may have been over this way to.

 

 

Hillsborough, I guess same goes for you anything in progress you may want to look at.

I made a huge loop around the area while mapping on Sensorly. Down Florida Ave, up Nebraska ave, E on Bears, N on Livingston, and a couple random small roads in between. Also mapped N on I275 towards Pasco cty. Sensorly should have it all soon...

I did this quick image showing what the signal strength could look like around USF using the same strength radius from the tower by IHOP. Inner circle would be the darker purple color, outer circle the lighter color.

    • Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.
    • Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile. 
    • T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.
    • Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.  
    • Still not seeing any ULS postings for pending T-Mobile UScellular merger in Dane county Wisconsin.
