Starbucks Continues to Impress - University of Dayton - Over 12mbps

in Dayton Starbucks University of Dayton

If you logged into any StarBucks wifi, you've probably noticed the service is Google WiFi. I don't know exactly when this happened, but anywhere I see Google WiFi, I see good if not great WiFi service. This location is no exception.

Using Speedtest.net (the standard by which we measure WiFi), StarBucks got 12.57Mbps download speed and 1.63 Mbps upload speed. That is pretty close to Timewarner standard cable connections and for a public location is great. 

Now, the bad news. If you hit this location during busy times (morning especially), parking is horrendous and the crowd inside means you'll wait if you're ordering anything other than a regular drip coffee. Regular coffee is served at the counter immediately. 

You can usually find a table and an outlet. Noise is minimal but privacy doesn't exist. Don't talk about stuff you don't want spread around. Still, good place and good for StarBucks for continuing to excel in the WiFi arena with space, outlets and WiFi performance. The coffee on the other hand, is just ok in my opinion.
