Throttled on LG Nitro?

Just wondering if anyone has gotten throttled, and if you've been able to get around it by changing apn... (Im deathly afraid of getting throttled, but if I just get bumped down to HSPA+ its not a big deal)

My understanding is that AT&T doesn't throttle, they just keep adding 1gb to your usage for $10 everytime you go over.
So if you're on their 2gb plan and use 10gb in a month, that's 8gb over your plan at $10 per gig = $80 extra for that month.
...Personally, I'd rather be throttled.

For those that are still on the Unlimited Data plan (myself) you get throttled. I believe their rule is after 5GB of usage in a month you are reduced to EDGE speeds.

I'm on an unlimited plan and I got throttled after using only 2GBs. It was a weird situation though, and changing the APN got me back to HSPA+ speeds but no LTE. I couldn't get Visual Voicemail to work either and had to check it the old-fashioned way but others on the forum have switched APNs and reported no issues with Visual Voicemail.

I'm going to have to show my buddy with the Skyrocket how to add the HSPA+ APN then. That's one trick I've learned so far. He got throttled last month cause he's constantly using LTE.

Were you using LTE data prior to getting throttled?

In my experience ATT throttle starts 15th to the end of each month, at least in the peak hours.

I thought it was based on your billing cycle and your usage. Or are you saying it's across the board for all users?
AT&T says if you are in the top 5% of data users then you are subject to throttling once you hit the threshold of that top 5% percent. I think it's crap, some say it's justified in order to keep the network up to par.

Yeah, it's possible, my cycle starts at the beginning of the month..
As of it's "justified" crap: how about the fact that they give you unlimited usage plan but limiting it?
It's bull**** to me. If you can't handle this many users, then perhaps you should not have so many users...

[email protected] we think alike. The worst part is there is no standard. Some get hit, some don't. It really is bull****.

Any experience with at&t throttling unlim data?

I was curious about differences between data plans. I'm grandfathered in to unlimited data and I've heard that they will throttle your data speed if your in the top nth% of bandwidth usage. Is there any way to get an idea of how many gb of data that actually is?
And are there any cases where at&t has taken unlimited data away for abusing it?
I was downloading 700mb ROM on LTE and it took like 60 second which is faster than wifi, but I sure as hell wouldn't do that if I was on a 3gb plan.

Every month that I hit 3GBs of data use, I get throttled. I have been told that people grandfathered into the Unlimited Data Plan and using an LTE phone get throttled at 5 GBs of data usage. This will be my first month on LTE, so I guess we will see! Until now I have been on a 3G plan, so I am hoping that it does change it to 5 GB or higher.

I got throttled @ 5GB on LTE about 5 days ago with 12 more days left on my billing cycle
It's actually not that bad being throttled...it's capped to only about 600Mbps. The thing is at network access starts fasts but quickly slows down to 600Mbps. Due to this web browsing, emailing, and messaging doesn't seem any slower as they usually require short/brief network access. What is noticeable is Youtube performance and updating/downloading apps via GooglePlay.

I've read that if you get throttled on the LTE plan @ 5GBs you can switch your APN over to the "4G" (e.g. ATT APN used on the SGH-I777) and you can get highers speeds (not LTE) until you hit 3GBs cap.
Haven't tried it out myself.

You are correct, that's what I do everytime I hit my 5GB limit., just switch to 'phone' APN and change you connection type to not look for LTE. works like a champ.
do a search for the 'phone' APN

I got throttled for the first time this month on the last day before my billing cycle ends (I got the text message a day earlier). I'm on a grandfathered unlimited plan and AT&T reports my data usage at 5.1Gb. The strange thing is that a few days ago, my data was reported to be ~8Gb by AT&T and by my phone. My phone still says ~8Gb, but AT&T now says 5.1Gb. My speed is now around 600Kbps down and 2Mbps up, where it used to be 16Mbps down and 6Mbps up. I haven't tried the APN switch, but I might try it if I get throttled earlier in the month.

You say "600 Mbps" but I really think you mean 600 Kbps. There's a big difference and 600 Kbps is actually painfully slow when you're coming from 8-25 Mbps depending on if you have HSPA, HSPA+ or LTE. My home internet connection is 889 Kbps and it's really slow for downloading large ROMs. So unfortunately I have been quite reluctant to download ROMs from my phone because I don't want to get throttle on my unlimited plan. It looks like I will continue to not go over my 5 Gb soft cap so I won't be throttled. I might as well not have unlimited

Think about this. Yes we get throttled at 5gb. But, we pay the same as a tiered 3gb plan. And even if we hit 5GB, we don't get charged an extra $10 for more data.

I do agree and I'm just nit picking. I consider myself lucky that still have an unlimited plan. My situation may be a bit different than others because my phone is by far the fastest data connection I have. Period. Way faster than my home or my job, so I have a tendency to use it for everything. I feel as though they could give people more data though. I realize that a 'small percentage' use over 5 gb, but I don't see a problem with doubling all the tiered plans including those with grandfathered unlimited plans soft cap. AT&T has a LOT of money.

I think i may be getting thorttled... what speeds are u guys getting?

They throttled me at the 2gb mark. Called them and *****es them out something fierce. They told me it was because it was I had gone over 2gb in one cycle. I asked them about the past where the website said I had used 17gb. Didn't get throttled then, why now?
Dude couldn't give me an answer. I think the system picked up on my because I sent the *3282# to see what my data usage was.
After I got off the phone with them, researched and forunf the other apn settings to use, no problems thus far. No throttling, no slowdowns. That was with my galaxy note i717.
Not I have a razr xt910, don't bother to check my data and, no throttling.

Sprint?

How much data are you paying for???? 5GB?

the AT&T "unlimited" plan is worthless whichever way you look at it. You get throttled after 3GB of use, which is 1mbit up, 0.1mbit down, at which point your phone is worthless for just about anything useful. Just bite the bullet and pay for the data I guess. I was averaging 11-12 GB per month before this throttling started and I managed to get it down to 1.2-1.5 GB. The only usage habit I changed was avoiding downloading apps.
Not the end of the world, otherwise go to Sprint if you live in an unsaturated market with LTE or WiMAX, which is rare.

The "cap" is 5 GB for LTE, and you get throttled to 3G speeds.

Damn, thanks for the correction. I was speaking of my iPhone 4S experiences, guess they don't apply for non-Apple products.
Maybe I'll bite the bullet and change my 2GB plan for 3GB for $5.00 more. I'm not a terribly heavy data user anymore though. But OP, that sucks, sigh. Maybe you can buy a grandfathered SIM on eBay if you need it that badly?

For AT&T, get an original iPhone, place your standard sim in it, it will prompt you for unlimited data. Wait a reasonable amount of time (maybe a month) and then upgrade from your iPhone to whatever it is you want -- and take your data plan with you.
Good luck.

Just swap APN's when they throttle you. I've used a ton of data this month (thanks Sandy) and I just finally got throttled on my i717.

The AT&T $30 grandfathered plan is anything but "unlimited". I have been throttled so many times. Hardly going over 3GB's sucks.
I heard switching APNs doesn't work? Some day it will only allow for HSPA speeds and not LTE speeds if your successful.
I wish AT&T's unlimited plan was like Verizon's. I'd always buy at no commitment pricing so that's not a big deal to me. I'd do that each time to have truly unlimited LTE.

So, when you get throttle, do they send you some kind of notification that you are being throttled or does you speed just slow down? Been close to 5 gb a couple of times but have yet to see a drop in speeds. Going to test it one of these days when there is about a week left in cycle by exceeding the cap to see what happens for me.

I think they do the very first time, but its a warning that they will throttle you in future billing cycles. I was throttled for about 4 days in September and the speeds were not bad. I was able to do everything. It just wasn't super fast, but operable. I think I was getting about 400-500kbps (very nice Sprint speeds).

Between my work wifi and home wifi I never go over 2gb a month, I feel bad for you "Data Hogs" (AT&T words no mine)

That Sprint speed is ridiculous, I usually hit about 3 Mbps - 5 Mbps depends on location with my Galaxy S II on AT&T and that's just HSPA+ not on LTE.

You have to add the APN manually. There was a specific APN that wasn't checked for usage or throttled. I'm using past-tense because I've heard that when AT&T set the hard 3GB and 5GB limits for throttling on the unlimited plan, this trick stopped working.
To answer someone else's question about warnings, you should get an SMS warning you that you're close to the cap, and then another SMS to tell you that you've been throttled when you hit the cap.

Incorrect on all fronts. Buying a phone outright does not change your plan. This is actually the ONLY way you can keep unlimited for vzw. Also the bill does not go up $30 it simply changes their unlimited plan to the 2gb for the same price as the old unlimited. If they chose to go to the share data that will be different but vzw is in no way forcing anything on people except for taking their unlimited data, which blows. But that's life. And in ten years people will have no idea what unlimited data means

AT&T Only Some Places I`m Throttled

Okay So I live in just an HSPA area AT&T has only had it for a little over a year before that it was EDGE haha. Well anyway I`m on the unlimated data plan so I get throttled at about 5GB each month well since im only in an 3G area I switch my APN to wap.cingular and then im not throttled! But I took a few day trip out to the coast and in Greensboro on LTE I was throttled down to .45 down and upload was terriible, I get into Raleigh I was getting 30-45 megs down and 10-20 megs up! Was NOT throttled the ENTIRE time there Yesterday!! I was currently at the 18GB mark in my current cycle and did prob 10GB there. Well Now im in Wilmington, NC and on LTE I`m throttled to a hault! so I`m having to use wap.cingular on 3G here which 3G is pretty decent 6-10megs down.
But why is it that im throttled in only some places?

I vaguely remember it being mentioned that throttling is based on network traffic. So if you are in a place that has high network traffic, you get throttled as I opposed to a low traffic area.
I use to get throttled on my unlimited plan in the D.C. area monthly but haven't been throttled once in Oklahoma City even though I've been using approximately the same amount of data.
I could be remembering wrong, but that's what I remember reading back when they first started throttling people.

[Q] Is T-Mobile's Unlimited High Speed Data option truly unlimited (unthrottled)?

Note that I am not referring to their somewhat misleading advertising that calls all of their plans "unlimited," but instead the $20/mo extra per line that gives you supposedly unlimited LTE.
I'll be living in a large city with excellent LTE coverage in the near future, and I had considered this plan option, possibly even to replace a home internet connection using a ROM with built in tethering, etc. But I don't know if there's some fine print somewhere that they would throttle it after a point, possibly down to 3g speeds or something? I use a lot of netflix, I would estimate my daily combined home cable + current wireless monthly bandwidth consumption somewhere in the neighborhood of 100gb/mo if not more.

Interesting. I was on the My T-mobile app once and saw that it said unlimited data but in parentheses it said something around 9,000gb. So that would be considered unlimited if you look at it since it's monthly and don't see anyone ever going above that in a month with hardcore downloading.

Well that would be less disheartening if so. $20/mo for truly unlimited LTE that's faster than the local cable company would be well worth it to me, even if I got it alongside a home connection. But these days, I'm just paranoid that the truly unlimited data days with consistent speeds no matter how much you consume each month might be by the wayside. At some point into that 9,000gb they might try to slow you down?
My T-Mobile reps in the local store didn't have an answer for me on this one, and I don't relish the idea of trying to get one from the 1-800 number.

After you use your high speed data limit you will get slowed down to 2g speeds.

I saw that 4G limit of 9.899gb in ( ) on my first invoice, and I was like, What??
I called T-Mobile and spoke to a rep.
It's just the way the billing system is set up to describe Unlimited 4G LTE, but yes, you Are getting Unlimited LTE, no throttling, she explained to me. Of course I asked her the same thing 2 more times in slightly different ways, as at first her explanation sounded suspicious. But I verified it 3 times in total. I did believe her, and subsequent LTE usage have shown that the Rep was telling the truth, as I have Unlimited 4G LTE without throttling

I used over 65 Gb last month of data and not a problem. I tether my entire house (changed user agents in computer browsers top avoid detection) and love it. I pay $70 a month. Can't beat this plan. It's the best deal I've seen around.
