Network Vision/LTE - Tampa Market

I live near the intersection of park and Seminole. I actually get LTE at home but it's very weak and drops back to 3g a lot. Coverage seems to come all the way from the 66th st tower.

isn't the tower near the Largo Mall closer to you?

I think there about the same distance. When looking at the serving cell on the LTE engineering screen it bounces between the Largo mall and the 66th st one, but mostly stays on the 66th st one.

Can anyone tell me if there is a tower in the area where my location is, like one that hasn't gone live yet.

It's frustrating having LTE the majority of where I go but having the worst service ever at my apt!

No service in that area yet. The market is actively being deployed and they are allowing early connections to sites that are complete.

 

Personally, I don't need LTE at my home. I have WiFi. I need LTE where I go. LTE at home is a novelty, and a milestone. It's not a necessity.

I understand. It's that I'm not home enough to need wifi, but the service is just a killer where I live lol.

 

Thanks though. I appreciate your swift response.

 

Looks like that's by the airport. That is by far the most frustrating area. I work over in the tech data complex. Its a total black hole for Sprint and has been since at least 2004

Hi all, I'm new to the site and forum but quickly became a sponsor because of how interesting it is. Just curious, from exerpts of previous posts I am gathering that the sensorly app may not work (as far as mapping LTE) with the Iphone 5. Is that true and if so, does anyone know why?

Very true. Apple doesn't allow apps to access a lot of the information necessary for it to map on Sensorly.

It's pretty close and totally annoying because I get great service just about everywhere else haha.

    • 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.
