Yeaup Im on the same price plan but changed to it the first day it was out ... So I get 5g high speed data + unlimited talk & text !!!

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.

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

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

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.

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 ****.

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 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

Mines been the same I'm in the north east, it seems to be getting back to normal now though.
The other problem I have is my internet signal usually disappears on a saturday and sunday during the day.
Only help is to contact your network or try a different network sim .

Switching from 02 I've noticed the speeds are slower. Using speed test I'd always be over 1mb with 02 but barely can get half a mb with 3. It doesn't really bothered me though because I only use it for streaming radio and browsing what is very snappy despite the slow connection.
Could you do a speed test using the speed test apply.
I got 102ping. 455kbps down. 587kbps up. Very odd my upload being faster than my download.

I got ping 58 , 13.35 Mbps download and 3.35 Mbps upload in town where my internet works because its not near where I live. And at home I get ping 355, 0.56 Mbps download and 0.33 upload.. In don't get it its just rubbish where I live nowhere else .. And I've tried switching to a different three sim but to no prevail. I now have to use pur home WiFi because 3G is always too slow to load. But seeming as I have a "all you can eat data plan" it seems pointless to use WiFi might as well use 3G since I have it

I know that they're an MLM and all, but have you looked at Solavei? 49 before tax for 4GB of data, with roaming, and unlimited talk/text. I've been using it lately, and it seems to be pretty solid, though you're going to have to unlock the phone (I just bought a code on eBay). PlatinumTel also has 2GB for 45 before tax, I've heard they're a decent choice as well. Both networks run on T-Mobile. If you decide to go with Solavei, use my link, if you could, it's solavei.com/ my username.

It seems to stay on it until I totally lose service then it does what it wants. 90 percent of the time it gives me an error when I try to pull up the list anyway. Today I'm fluctuating between full 2g to no service every 10 minutes at a jobsite I've always had full 4g. I'm a bit over it honestly.

They recently stated 2.5 GB / 30 Days. I wanted to see if they would throttle me or terminate my service so I took a chance last month. I used 12GB OTA not including Wi-Fi. I have AIO just in case they do. Some people get targeted and some don't.
