Nope, birds are all up in the towers. Hitchcock lol

Have you seen any work in the Universal area? That's where I live and I constantly check for work on the cell towers around here but have seen nothing so far.

Check the Sensorly map. There's some activity around the Disney area.

The Sponsor area is a paid section of the site.

And to take it even a step further, it'd be really cool if you could see a time lapse. So you can visualize rollouts and compare where they are now vs where they were, say, 3 weeks ago, 6 months ago, etc

When you're running Sensorly and NOT getting coverage, you'd think it should update that on the map accordingly. So basically Sensorly would be a reading of what the latest coverage was when it was last recorded in that area. Instead of if coverage was ever in that area. Even further, I'd be nice if you could toggle to see both.

 

 

They did not. This is not accurate. Orlando is actively being deployed now. There are sites live now. Are you dense?

 

Provide a Sprint Press Release proving your point. Any other future trolling and you'll be banned.

I realize Orlando is actively being deployed. That's not what I'm referring to. I am simply referring to the fact they removed it from a news press release early on. When I get home I will post the news press release that I'm talking about. Better yet, find me a news press release that has Orlando in it that is directly from the Sprint website. I'm not trying to troll I apologize if I am coming off that way.

Where have they removed Orlando from deployment list? Each Press Release is an addition to the previous ones. They don't remove cities.

 

Also, deployment is going on now in the Orlando area. Over a dozen sites live and more coming every week. So obviously they haven't removed Orlando. Get a grip, man.

They removed Orlando from one of the early press releases. I contacted the admin who posted the news article and he said it was an accident. So they haven't actually announced Orlando.

Orlando was listed in one of the press releases from Sprint, and I have it on my map as well. Orlando has several sites live now with LTE, as well as 3G improvements. All of central and southern Florida is receiving upgrades right now, and most areas will be launching within the next several months. Coverage will continue to expand and get denser across the whole Orlando market, whether or not Sprint announces anything about it. The crews will not stop working until it is done.

The odd thing is, they "accidentally" announced Orlando in one of the early press releases and since removed it. There currently exists no press releases with Orlando. It's nice to know they are working on it, but I just wonder what the reason for them not officially announcing it even till this day with all things considered. Surely they have to have a reason.

Another thing I don't understand, if we are so close to having coverage, then why hasn't Sprint announced our city as one of those to launch "in the coming months"? Something isn't adding up. Either there is some uncertainty/unknowns for Orlando, or we are not expected to launch in "the coming months."

Hey guys I have a feeling that a huge area of LTE coverage is about to randomly show up somewhere around Orlando, just like what happened in Avalon Park 2 weeks ago. I'm starting to see LTE on my iPhone A LOT more often now than before.

Frustrating

So I walked this whole way up Alafaya on my way to work between 3:00-3:30pm on 1/4/13, and I didn't catch an LTE signal at all the whole way, so I'm assuming the LTE tower was shut off for the time being. I'll still be on the lookout. I'll run a speed test for you guys as soon as I see LTE for the first time.

That's unfortunate. They turned it off temporarily at Disney for a while too. It'll probably be back soon. But as Sprint would say:

"We're excited about it too! Check sprint.com/LTE for updates! -NITWIT"

I'm walking my whole way up Alaa

 

I'm walking my whole way up that part of Alafaya today on my way to work, so I should have plenty of time to check out 4G LTE as long as it's still active. Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep you posted on what I find in a couple hours.

Did your new iPhone just arrive? Congrats, looks like you're in 1% of the city that has LTE lol Let us know how it is

We are all running around like thirsty desert children dying to get a sip of water from a shady horse whisperer.

Nevermind, not a sponsor. Good to see progress!

You keep in mind that Disney is in the Orlando market. Sprint is upgrading the WHOLE market, which means Orlando is seeing upgrades, they just aren't live. We don't get information on every 'in progress' site, just ones where Robert has a source, or a member sees work going on.

Yea Disney is definitely part of Orlando. 20 or so minutes south of downtown.

I tried contacting Ericsson since Sprint has contracted them to do the Orlando market, but they won't give any information.

I wonder why we're not even on the "in the coming months" list if they are on track here. Trying to stay positive...

Actually that is incorrect.

If you click on the link in the press release for the sprint site, you can see that Orlando was actually removed from that list. See for yourself:

The initial list DID have Orlando on it but it was removed shortly after they posted it. I emailed Sprint specifically on this, and they told me that they added Orlando to that list on accident.

That's because they haven't. There are no guarantees. From everything I've heard and read, expect LTE to be launched in Orlando sometime in the spring. It didn't even make the "next few months" list, so I'm guessing April/May. Very unfortunate and disappointing. Orlando apparently is not a priority market.

Did you like that place? I was going to book there earlier this year but I couldn't break down and spend the cash.

IMed you

Yea the Disney sight does appear to be down. I was at the Gaylord Palms Resort this past weekend and didn't see any LTE.
