Verizon 4G coverage in Sarasota/Bradenton

It was reported that Verizon would be expanding their 4G LTE coverage today to include the Sarasota/Bradenton area. I've tested my connection as far northeast as my house and as far southwest as Blake Hospital and I can confirm that the new network is indeed up and running. Bad news is if you don't already have an unlimited data plan from Verizon you're stuck with their new tiered plans. Thankfully my plan was grandfathered in!

have you run any bandwidth tests on the new network?

It's as advertised. They say between 5 and 12 down, and I consistently see closer to 12.

Eric, do you have any idea how long our unlimited data is grandfathered in for? I always sort of assumed that my plan would be switched to the tiered plan automatically. Needless to say I don't have too much to worry about. I don't even think VT is on their list of places they plan on putting 4G.
