In Daytona, there is for sure at least b25 since it is a launched market. Depending on your phone, you can check with field test mode(dial *#3001#12345#*) on your iPhone or get signal check pro on your android and it will tell you what band you are currently connected too. Or become a premium sponsor and this information will be fully available to you.

They do. Att has a tower on top of mummy and in the hogwarts castle. At work in toon lagoon is get 3 bars of b26 and my phone battery lasts twice as long as it did before I imagine because it isn't trying to find a better signal.

You go to west campus too?And I can attest that b41 is very good on campus and metrowest in general, though there are a few spots where you'll fall back to 3G but should pick up b41 soon after.

So I got the iPhone 6 and I just did this speediest next to a tower I know has band 41 by the doubletree inn on i drive. Let's just let the picture and speedtest speak for itself.

Useable b25 LTE at Universal/IOA now. Can confirm it's coming from the turnpike/kirkman tower as driving past it gives me full bars of LTE. This test was done in toon lagoon. *

I realize that the reason it's only really available (b41) in the parking garage is because the clearwire's site is on top of the hotel roof across the street. (Looked at the RRUs on the hotel and compared them to known and they looked similar) B25 would be from the hotel across from cabana bay( I've determined this through some tests) and it seems b26 is from far away like i4/turnpike.

May I ask where exactly you were when you did this speed test? If you were actually INSIDE the park, I'm hugely impressed! I heard rumors a long time ago of sprint putting a site inside Diagon Alley but I doubt that was true.

I was beginning to think that they strategically planned to update all the towers around Universal around the same time Diagon Alley opened as it makes perfect sense. The opening will be huge and the amount of complaints of lack if service they would recieve as a result of no updated towers would be staggering. So hopefully come opening, the nearest towers have b25 and 26. That would be splendid.

This seems to be pointing to the tower on top of the hotel across from the Cabana Bay hotel. Nice to know it has 1x800.

And that was just 1 tower with LTE 800. Imagine if the other two towers near Universal had LTE band 25 and 26. I don't think there would be any, if at all very minimal dead zones.

After reading all of this, I cannot wait for all the bands to be fully or at least 95% deployed. I think honestly Sprint will be 100x better at that point. B26 will be the savior. Can't wait.

Spence, I've heard of people pick up faint band 41 there. But the signal is so fragile it isn't usually useful. Band 26 hasn't been active for long, (I'll ask my co worker tomorrow when she started getting it) and I've gotten some band 25 there but it was never enough to load anything without being kicked back to 3G. Enjoy being able to use your phone at IOA! The issues hopefully will be resolved soon. But it must make your battery happy. Lol And after looking around, it seems that is coming from the tower by I-4 and the turnpike. Going with assumption that b26 carrier cards are installed after the site gets 3G, it would make sense in this case.

Well I work at the Popeyes ride in IOA. According to her, she has had it for a little while now. And I am holding out for the iPhone 6. Can't wait for it.
