  1. I got a hit on my phone last night according to my LTE record. I traveled across the hart bridge down university Blvd then down Atlantic to the Walmart on Kernan. So somewhere on that stretch my phone connected to LTE.

     

    Also I connected to a site for the first time without cycling airplane mode. I updated my EVO LTE to jelly bean and it looks like HTC increased the scan times. I'll test the connectivity when I go back to work Tuesday and connect to a LTE site.

    Its not really what you guys think it is. The real name should be wifi offloader.

    Well whatever you want to call it. I think it's a good idea to help Sprint and to improve the customers internet experience especially now with the 3g networks over burden with users.

    Is the tower live? I don't see any equipment on it, and when I am at the intersection there I don't get anything better than ok signal, I do get a stronger signal as I get closer to the one in Oakleaf.

    That tower at Old Jennings is owned by Sba Towers III LLC

    The regular network vision site shows (of course it does not show LTE) no work on that site, but does show:

    The tower up near College/Blanding had a voice upgrade.

    The tower near Oakleaf Plantation/Brannan Field had a voice upgrade.

    The tower off of 220 had voice/data/capacity.

     

    Does anyone live near Branan Mill Plantation and/or Whisper Creek and confirm strength if any?

    Opensignals shows nothing.

     

    Its one of those sites with the hidden panels. I don't believe it had nv upgrades. It's 1x and evdo only.

    I live out near Blanding and Old Jennings. I'be been working with their Dan@Sprint team to get network to fix signal issues. I finally have 2 bars on my street, but it fluctuates between -80 to -95 signal strength.

     

    The 3G speed sucks bad still, so I am hoping for better speed too as I am always up in OP.

     

    There is the new tower at Brannan Field and Old Jennings, but I've yet to get any date as to when that will be built out as i am in a dead zone, even for Wimax when they insist my neighborhood should have both 3G and Wimax good coverage.

     

    The wife wants to get a new phone, specifically the S3, and they have the BOGO offer, but I lose my Wimax if I do upgrade. So i am in the same boat as you. Upgrade for a much better phone, but suffer slow speeds anywhere near us.

     

    Without a LTE phone, I am reliant on this forum for tower upgrades, and when there are enough to cover my area and commute downtown, I will easily jump to a new phone.

     

    The tower on Blanding and old Jennings is already built. It's the flag pole on the corner. BTW clay county has more active towers than any other area in the Jacksonville market. I ditched my WiMAX phone back in May. I don't miss out at all. WiMAX was a big headache and not worth the battery drain. It won't be long before LTE is more wide spread.

  5. Thanks for all the helpful information here. I have a brand new Note 2 that is not yet activated. Why, you might ask? The Sprint tower in my area of Orange Park is over saturated and I cant even get 3G coverage. This has been confirmed by Sprint numerous times over last 2 months. So I am having to still use my HTC EVO 3D as Wimax works great with great download speed. So just waiting on LTE in my area of Orange Park. From info here it is getting close to me. So thanks again for all your encuraging reports on the progress.

     

    I wouldn't wait to use my note2. You could be waiting months before your home tower is upgraded.
