[MOD] Full Throttle (Data Throttle Removal) Updated! 11/6/11
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Sprint doesn't throttle. If you notice your data speeds seem slow, that's just because Sprint isn't fast everywhere. I've noticed 3G has slowed down since Sprint got the iphone.
after being throttle to .6 mb this cicle i have to say im not seing a difference in my usage
i currently am at 9gbs of usage this month and am able to still stream my nba games live at throttled speeds still.
i currently am doing my parctice were i use my phone a lot for video chat and photo taking for price checking and inventory.
I aint tryying to denfend att in no way in fact i did start a complaint here in puerto rico fcc equivalent when this whole five percent thing started to the point of having to talk to there customer service manager.
But is it really affecting you guys as much?

That sucks. That almost happened to me this time when I changed my phone to GNote from Atrix. ATT tried to pull a fast one by charging me the same price for 3gb of data. It wasn't a difficult process but they did have to make a claim. Nowadays even supervisors can't change the plan... Thankfully, i keep a good eye on my usage.
I wonder if you guys can get the unlimited data plan back with the iPhone 2G (aka Original iPhone) trick. Get an old iPhone, activate it on iTunes and it will get you the unlimited data plan since that was the only plan available for the iPhone 2G. Don't know if that loophole was closed but some people have claimed they tried it in December and it was still working as of then.
EDIT: Looks like that loophole has been closed and no longer works
Beats getting overcharged i guess buat am able to use my phone normally so maybe now att is using there heads
or you can go the verizon way and have an 10gb plan (20gb if ya bought it at christmas time)
now theres a plan i dont think anyone will cross

The new policy did say 4G LTE users would not be slowed down as much as hspa +/3G users, of course they did not specify speeds.

What are you guys doing to hit 7GB , tethering lots of streaming? I think I need to get out if the house more and get off wifi lol.
So far I've only used 232 MB 7 days in lol. But that will change soon when I start to travel and such this summer. I plan on using my note to tether to my iPad and Transformer Prime.
they are only throttling iPhone users, not other unlimited plan users

Im not tethering but i.dont have access to wifi also and i watch nba games all the time on my device and use google music as my main music player
gb of data will soon mean nothing with all the cool.stuff coming out for phones

All unlimited users within the top 5% have been throttled since october '11
They published the policy online last month

Don't say that. Gez. Its only in certain areas. There are still plenty of people that haven't been throttled. You just don't hear from themes much

They've been doing it for months and its everywhere not just in select areas but most people wouldn't ever use enough data to get throttled.
The only real change is that now they've set the throttle cap at 3gb for HSPA+ phones & 5gb for LTE phones. Up until last month they were basing the throttling on being in the 'top 5%' of other users in your area, which resulted in people on 'unlimited plans' getting throttled under 2gb.
Whoops I hitbthebthanks button. People are not getting throttled like they are supposed to. Its pretty easy to see. They are being selective

Well thanks for the thanks anyway lol.. I was always suspicious of how they were throttling but now that they've set some actual numbers in stone I feel a little better about it. I'm a little irritated though that I pay for two identical unlimited data plans (for the past 5 years) and now one gives me 3GB while the other gives me 5GB.. even though I pay the same for both.. Oh well, its better than randomly being throttled at 2GB I guess.
At about 6.5gbs (which is pretty low for my average monthly usage) and have not been throttled even after reviving notification.

Well...it is true that they are supposedly trying to only throttle in areas that are congested
That could explain the lack of throttling of some.

Has anyone used simple mobile on a 717Note I am on CM9 and not unlocked yet but curious if anyone has been able to obtain the 4g speeds they offer for 60$ unlimited everything.
Just get T-mobile's monthly 4G $30/month plan. Unlimited text and web (5gbs at 4G) and 100 mins. You can't beat that.

3G?.. Lol, after 2 gb you are down to dial up speeds... You can't avoid that no matter which plan you choose on prepaid. Atleast on the tmo plan you have 5gb which is pretty epic.
If you want truly unlimited, you are stuck with Sprint contract plans. And they are only unlimited because they are slow as ****.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
You misread my post. I can find unlimited non capped 3g speeds anywhere. I wanted unlimited 4g. And how do I go about getting that tmobile plan? Prepaid? Can I use my old SGS4G sim card? And is there a free unlock option available yet?
I had simple mobile and let me tell u it was worse than wen i had cricket when they first emerged so ya stick with a real provider

I dont care about phone calls btw. I will be using Groove IP to make all my calls like I do now I just need a decent usable data connection.
How about H2O? I use it and get at least 1mb up and down. Sometimes I would get 2mb up and down. Its not as fast as everything out there but I do live in long island. Might be different in other places and you don't need to unlock your note. Just put in the similar card and download an app to configure data and SMS. And your good to go. $60 a month is better than $170 a month
Typed on my White Galaxy Note running ICS 4.0.4
Do yourself a favor and order the straight talk sim card....straight talk is att lil brother....my speeds at lowest are around 6mb down..... 1.5 or 2 up....excellent signal.....I love it.....straight talk is the way to go....and btw its 45 unlimited everything......

Yes I noticed & called multiple times about it ... I used to get well over 10-12Mbps and sometimes up to over 21mbps ... but when i made the change .. the speed struggles to get past 900-1000 !!! I thought to my self maybe its the rom im using .. wind mobile rom with apps 2sd ... but i doubt it ... what is your high speed data limit ... i get 5gb ... you ???
I also have the 5 gb plan. Before the change, like you, I was getting speeds up to 10 mb now after the change I'm struggling to get 1 mb. Sometimes I'll get a little over 1 mb but it never hits 2 mb.Guess there's a catch to everything. Also I am running the stock jb so it's not your Rom.

Glad too know its not the rom .. in a way !!! I guess now we actually have 3g speeds ... lol ... Its good enough for what i do and at l can still tether to other devices .. So im not yoo mad about it .. plus with the faster speeds i used to have with only 1gb allotment .. im better off... I would used most of my data up doing speedtest !!!
I recommend straight talk. 45 for unlimited all. I don't know if they have the micro sim available now, but I cut mine. Speed is reliable and fast enough for daily use. There are many threads about ST TMO service on xda; search it.

I get a discount on the Wal-Mart Family Mobile cause I work at Sam's Club. The speed may seem slow but it's enough to do everyday things. I streamed music tonight at work and it didn't buffer any. I've also watched a couple of YouTube videos and it streams fine.

Anyone else been having very slow speeds on Verizon lately? It's been slowing down for a few months now. I used to get 20 - 30mbps download and lately it's been averaging around 5mbps. I've already tried "resetting" the phone & even switching roms. I'm wondering if it's network congestion or if they're finally throttling me(since I have unlimited data still).
I am also unlimited...just ran a speed test and hit 40.6mbps. Usually I'm around 25-30 though.

Here in Philly LTE speeds have been horrible, as low as .5mbps for me. And that was tested a couple of weeks ago. Data is essentially useless, so I just bumped down to a 250 meg package. I try use wifi everywhere I go, or try not to use data. Gettin' real bad.
Data speeds entirely depend where you live and who else is using the bandwidth. If you live in a crowded city you might not get great speeds during peek time. If you live in a rural area if you even have LTE there like me the speed is basically consistent I get about 20-30mbps at best. However like mentioned before I just try to use wifi all the time because I am limited to my 2gb and wifi is usually avaliable to me.

It's never even kinda-snappy here in Philly. Plain slow, all the time.
I've just generally not been getting good speeds anywhere. I get about 16/4 (D/U) in the best area of my house (my room) but the living room is like 8/1.8... I mainly use it for uploading. (TWC ISP gets me about 15/1mbps) My friends house in the town over I barely get 3G. However closer to the lake (erie) I can get 20-30.
Fastest I've ever got was 36/32 in Detroit.
Also I should mention that I've never seen speeds get better since I switched from AT&T to Verizon...
Inc -> rezzy -> DNA
Forgot to mention my house is on a lake if that has anything to do with signal and speed.

Maybe yall phone just doesn't work properly.
In Jersey City and Newark, NJ the speeds are god awful (less than .5mbps consistently). I tried calling Verizon about it, but they really didn't care.
