Quote from TL Trader:
While your awaiting his answer IMO it's depends in part on your data feed and whether your normally always connected or frequently moving around such as with a laptop. Where your not always connected. With a stationary computer (always connected) and even a decent feed backfill/refresh won't be much of an issue.
I use a laptop I travel with and therefore it's frequently not connected and I have to refresh the charts before I can get started. I'm using IB/DTN. MOST of the time it's exceptable but occasionally I am a little disappointed.
Thanks for the feedback. I use cable 8 down 1.5 up with a wired connection.
If you re-read my post it's not the money it's my time ( the most valuable asset we all have ) that I don't want to waste. I pay the same now for Sierra, but it took me a good 3-4 weeks to get comfortable with Sierra. I'd rather ask questions and get feedback before spending a month and realize it's inadequate.
