Default we have been looking at this also

Our introductory rate with Comcast is about up, and they are raising the rates in NY, so we have been considering using a Verizon device. My biggest concern is that I teach online, so need reliable and fast connection. We do not download music, videos, or play games, but when I am grading I can be online several hours a day.
During a recent visit to the Verizon store, we learned that our NY home is not within a 4G area yet, but TV is. We also learned that you have a 14 day trial period during which you can return the device and change plans for a $30 fee. Our plan is to get the device one week before we leave for TV, enabling us to test it in both places within the 14 day period. We also will still have current internet plans in effect as a backup until we decide.
I appreciate hearing others experiences with this.
