Hey guys, good news. I woke up this morning (I live on the corner of Econ and Lee Vista) and I had a great LTE signal... looks like Sprint turned one of the towers on that was completed. I mapped the area around my apartment complex and Lee Vista, and will map more after work. I mapped a good 350 points on Lee Vista all the way to Narco and the 528 that should show up on Sensorly soon. Extremely excited, I had the following speeds inside of my place:

Spring is almost over... we'll see if Sprint actually launches LTE in Orlando before Summer hits. Outside of the areas that I've seen LTE for a few months now, I've yet to see it light up in any new areas.
-
Yet none are active... I wonder why? If the Dean/Curry was active I'd get 4G where I live for sure.
-
Any word on the tower near Dean and Curry Ford? Someone stated it was complete but I still get no 4G in the area.
-
Oh ok, so the Dean and Curry Ford is done just hasn't been turned on yet. Boy that tower is HUGE, I think it'd have a lot of coverage once on. It'd pretty much fill the gap between the Avalon tower for UCF/Vista Lakes area... can't wait.
-
Wait, so the tower on Dean and Curry Ford is done but has birds nests on it? Would that still stop them from activating it?
-
Very nice to see more and more areas light up... can't wait for the tower near Curryford and Dean to light up, it is a huge tower and I am sure it will have a lot of reach.
-
This would make me so happy... that tower is huge so I am assuming it would have good coverage and I live literally 2 miles from it... where did you get this info?
-
Gotcha, thanks.

I have to say, after spending a weekend in Tampa I have no IDEA wtf is going on in Orlando. While I got absolutely no LTE anywhere in Tampa (I was close to the airport and downtown), the 3G there is incredible (relatively speaking). I was getting 1.5mb pretty much everywhere and I was able to ACTUALLY use data on my phone w/o having to sit and wait for things to load. WOW, not sure if the backhaul in Tampa is set and going strong but it would sure seem so as the speeds there are great. Makes data speeds in Orlando look even more horrendous... come on Sprint lets get some LTE to the West side of Orlando already! SIck of these slow speeds.
-
Thanks for this, as much as I'd like to be angry at the birds they were probably here long before humans were so gotta let them do their thing... we already destroy enough animal habitat as it is, this must be their way of payback! LOL
-
I got great LTE out there too a few weeks ago... it can't come soon enough!
-
I live near the intersection of 528 and 417, and I probably get the most decent 3G speeds here than anywhere else in town. That said, when I work from home sometimes I'll notice consistent 3G speeds of 1.5-2mbps down. As SOON as rush hour hits, the speeds drop dramatically to what you're getting. Around 10pm, they jump back up. I doubt it's usually anything to do with "upgrades", probably tower usage... That said I could be grossly wrong.

That's what she said...

You can't map with an iPhone, only an Android device. I hit LTE (didn't have a chance to do a speed test) on Dean and University.. mapped it on Sensorly. Not sure if it was already mapped previously but it died off a bit before Highway 50... I also mapped a bit on Econ and Highway 50 but the speeds were really slow and it didn't last long.
