I don't believe so. Ericsson has only 3 or 4 sites done in Florida.. And those are Tampa and north.

 

Many Florida markets are active deployment areas. Remember that the sites on the NV Sites Complete map are the ones accepted by Sprint. There are usually a few weeks from the time subcontractors start working on a site until Sprint accepts it.

Oh. I thought the sites were blocked (apart from testing) until accepted by Sprint.

Sites can be accepted but sprint can decide whatever they want to do with the tower signal.

Yes, but you were responding to a guy who was asking whether the tower he showed a picture of could have been upgraded. And you said you didn't think so because you didn't think work was under way in Florida. So what does being blocked have to do with a picture of a possible completed site? Maybe I am missing something. Did a post get deleted?

Nope, just my stupidity. I thought he meant was the site functional. Sorry for the unneeded thinking I may have causes you. :P

It's a sprint tower. Sorry I had to crop it so I could upload it on here

looks like 6 different carriers, including sprint. What i was saying is, its hard to tell if the RRU's are on sprints area of the tower or someone elses, such as att

you should consider yourself lucky if you get .5- 2 mbps as this is much higher then most sprint customers. Lte is great. I downloaded a 700-850mb ROM pretty darn quick (5-10 min) (takes same time off my isp). For those who might say "data hog" to me, i do usually wifi offload, just didnt have access to computer at the time

well if there is worse the 0.5 mbps i would smash my phone an end my contract with sprint cause there is no way speeds should be slower then that lol. i never got wimax. wimax is real close but i cant get it unless i go a quarter mile up the street. thats when i had my evo shift. i kinda miss wimax but im being as patient as possible for lte it will be worth the wait

      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.

      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....
