    Perhaps not. From those pictures, I'm not able to see the panel that you say has nothing hooked up. Still though, I don't see any Sprint NV equipment. Other than that, not really able to say who else is on there.

     

    Ok if u click on the first pic I posted if u look at the very bottom rack u will see very skinny pannels an then a big thick pannel next to it. The. Big thick pannels are new on that tower. If u look above those pannels u will see big white pannels with 1 rru behind them I thought those were att? But If u look at the bottom rack u will see the big thick pannels have nothing attached to them. They were jus instslled today. Maybe ur right idk

  2. Jus noticed the tower by my house has brand new pannels on it. It looks like it is being upgrsded to 4g lte. I got pics but im at work now. Ill upload them when I get out at 10. Also there were ropes attached to the tower an the new pannels dont have wires connected g o them as of yet but i think its deff sprint pannels

  3. In due time florida will launch an I know this. After all there have been a lot of delays holding back contractors. An as broffe18 said there is a lot of work to be done. An it will get done as soon as possible. As of right now the way I see it for my market homstead has little work done and delray beach has little work done an boca raton has nothing done. Thats why I assume it will be around late summer maybe winter until my market launches. But this is just my opinion an my opinion only. It may sound stupid to some but I look at things from all angles an state my thoughts based on what I think makes sence. No harm done if some one disagrees lol

    Soft launch happened when they turned on the towers. Ericsson has been speeding up, as have all the others as of late. Sprint has been pressing them to turn up the pace a bit. I still say Sprint will launch your area by the end of Spring. Judging by Sensorly (which may or may not be dangerous) they really only need 10-20 more sites to fill in the gaps to be able to launch Miami. Maybe a few more if they want to launch the whole area from Homestead to Palm Beach at the same time.

     

    I don't know if you are trying to lower your expectation on purpose, but too much more negativity and I will have to ask you to revisit the site rules.

     

    No negativity intended. Im just being realistic based on my thoughts an perception of seeing things. U could be right if they fill in the gaps based on sensorly. But as robert said the contractors are going to the next site thats ready so the odds are of the contractor going into the gaps are 50/50. Im not lowering standards an not being negative on purpose. Im just stating based on my thoughts of seeing things. Plus work has not started in my town(boca raton) an i dont think they can launch my market until some work has started in my town but I could be wrong.

    Far fewer towers than that are needed for a "launch." I would put money on a launch by the end of Spring, possibly sooner than that. Though a launch doesn't do much except generate a press release and add the coverage onto Sprint's official coverage maps.

     

    That is true. Ok maybe a soft launch by summer. I cant see sprint doing a launch by spring. An we wont be finished until 2014 thats jyst the way I see it. Erricsson an who ever else helps them has been very slow

  6. The other day I went to boynton beach to take my cat to a animal hospital an I picked 4g by this tower but I also noticed this extremely small pole with panels on it right next to the big tower. I got a pic of it but what are these mini towers used for?

    This is the tower I guess I was getting lte from. These two towers are on seacrest blvd an woolbright road boynton beach

  7. i found a permit for a tower by SBA an that company sba is pretty popular in my area. the use of the permit said COM/MODIFY ANTENNA TO EXIST TOWER. the contractor is hoffman thomas G. and the dates on the permit is. applied date 9/20/12 and the ready date is 12/11/12 and issued is 12/12/12. but nothing with sprints name on it. what are the odds it being sprint?

  8. Looks like a bandaid fix to me. NV backhaul pings are sub 100 ms and those are way too high.

     

    i actually check the sprint network enhancment site an it shows there was a data capacity upgrade on one of the towers in my area. i dont know what a capacity upgrade does but if it helps then i give it a thumbs up, but that sprint network enhancement site is not trust worthy at all. it changes way to much. i keep an eye on it an there has been time where it showed like 4 upgrades in my area an i check a week later an those upgrades are gone. i dont know whats up with that

  9. Looks like a bandaid fix to me. NV backhaul pings are sub 100 ms and those are way too high.

     

    i dont know what they are atleast they been better the past couple days. work has not started in my area yet. i am very content with the speeds im getting at the hours too. i know some people would be lucky to hit 0.50 in some areas of florida
