  1. Picking up 4g at the Walmart on Lem Turner so I believe one of the towers near by is active but not accepted Edit: the site is accepted. disregard
  2. Barbeque chicken ( this chicken talk is making me hungry)
  3. Well you are in awkward position as far as sprint service goes the only other hope you have is to hope that signal will reach your residents with the 800meg service. Other than that you may be S-o-l. Towers in the Middleburg area are stretched out pretty far resulting in signal loss especially in doors.
  4. There are towers in Middleburg all along Blanding but going down 218 to 301 is a dead zone I travel that way frequently and I roam constantly so you may be out of luck if you live in that area. Call sprint and get an Airave.
  5. I get LTE when in near the i10/i95 interchange then a few miles down it drops. Then it picks back up once I get to 295. There's a couple towers in that area that isn't upgraded yet so I believe that's where the problem is. Coverage has gotten better over the last 4 months or so. Me personally I'm more excited about CDMA 800 more than anything.
  6. The biggest concern I have is that there are coverage holes for even just voice calls surrounded by 4G towers. I know they have to build out new towers to cover some of those areas, but you would think that would be a priority to at least get voice coverage. And no, many of those dead zones have zero roaming options. When you struggle to get better than -95dbm good luck if you stand in the wrong spot to make a call. So LTE does no good if there is no signal to begin with. Where there is LTE the speeds are good. Unless 800mhz can magically go twice as far as the current signals can, Sprint will have some patching to do just for voice. CDMA 800 will help the majority of the voice coverage issues. From my experience with sprint in the Jacksonville area voice coverage is stellar the only issue I have is with signal strength inside of buildings (low signal or no signal). Other than that voice is fine.
  7. Wow this is crazy. I just saw panels being installed on this one site and this week its accepted and broacasting LTE signal. I wish all the sites would work out this way.
  8. Found two completed sites one on I95 just north of broward road and another in the front parking lot of Baptist hospital downtown.
  9. The towers in that area are probably overloaded from the thousands of users in the area all the time. With NV the sites perform better under heavy load. I've been at the town center before and couldn't even do a Google search on a Friday night
  10. Sprint is upgrading all existing towers. The towers in that area may already been upgraded but not accepted. From what I've seen after the site Is complete it usually takes about two months for them to come online. There's allot of sites sitting idle awaiting different things such as back haul, cabinets or even the panels themselves. Jacksonville is moving much faster than before.
  11. The site across from the gateway mall on Norwood ave is getting NV panels installed
  12. The one on Blanding and College? Yes, the tower is just south of the intersection on the west/northbound side of blanding... Even went by there this am... I saw the array that's destined for it though, it only has 2 outer panels on each sector and nothing in between Sent from my SPH-L900 using JellyBombed Tapatalk 2 Maybe the site on 103rd that's showing as accepted. Is built out the same way.
  13. That site has been complete for weeks now. I don't know if it was active or not
  14. There's another tower behind the Walmart on Brannan-Field road that isn't upgraded yet. Maybe when that site comes online it will fill in the holes.
  15. Theres a couple sites on the map that shows 4g accepted and when I go by two sites in particular I dont see any NV panels all I see is legacy (what i believe to be sprint) panels. Is it possible that some of these sites are going to be GMO?
  16. Or maybe a 21 chirp salute at the iden funeral. With the new sprint ptt phones?
