Hello everyone, new guy here from the Buffalo area and I was just looking for some feedback.
Every couple of months I spend a few days a week for a few weeks in the Rochester area for work. I get put up at a motel and the whole 9 yards. It's been a few months since I was in Rochester and the last time I was, was back in November when I still had Verizon. Instead of doing my paperwork and such back the the stuffy motel room, I'll usually hit up the Wegman's on 441 & 250 or the Wegman's in Pittsford on Monroe, grab some pizza and wings, do some work, eat, VPN into the office in Buffalo, eat, people watch, do some more work, grab a coffee, finish up and go back to the motel room and crash into bed. I'd rather not rely on the free wifi at the motel and at Wegmans and I need more upstream bandwidth then what is typically offered. Right now I still have my Verizon USB air card still active and that works very well for what I need to do. Prior to that I had a Sprint Air Card and always got awesome wimax service at the Pittsford Wegmans, even though the upload was capped at 1.5Mb, which was a killer. Now I'm looking to switch the USB modem back to Sprint as well and get one that can do LTE, but I need some info on the LTE speeds, specifically in those two areas. I usually stay in Henrietta off of 390, but I don't really care about reception there, since all I do is sleep and shower there, if I'm not at a job site, I'm at at either one of those two Wegman's in the cafe.
I see no LTE activity on Sensorly yet for Pittsford, but it looks like LTE is alive and well in Penfield. Does anyone have any real world experience on what the speeds are like in that area or better yet inside of Wegman's. Ideally for what I do, minimum 5Mb up and 5Mb down would be great. I won't be back in Rochester for about another month, either last week of Feb or first week of March, depending on how things work out, so I still have some time, but if the LTE speeds are decent, I have no problem switching.
Thanks for any input
