Discuss the 2.5GB data soft cap here (speeds, etc)

[primetechv2]

So today I was actually throttled. Data speeds have been between 60-120kbps and I couldn't be more sour if you soaked me in lemon juice.

Hitting my last 4 days till my new plan kicks in hard, if there gonna "throttle me" ill get the most of it

Hell, the supposedly "throttled" results shown above would be a wonderful improvement from what I get all the time.

VM data is throttled by definition.

Threads merged. Since it all deals with the same thing, there's no reason for multiple threads to discuss the same topic.

Is Verizon an option in your area? They still offer unlimited data on prepaid.

Maybe the event was just freak coincidence (albeit a very coincidental one). I've seen speeds of up to 325kbps recently. The speeds aren't always that tremendous but it's apparent the throttling isn't horrible.

Ill never hit the cap with my speeds lol had dialup speeds for over a month now, so ill be lucky to use 200MB this month.

I am at 2.7 Gb for the month and no throttle for me yet still getting my normal speed of 1 Mb down and 500 kbs up

Could be the implementation varies from area to area with some areas getting hit harder then others, i.e. congested urban areas while more rural locations, it might possibly not be as bad.

Unlimited is still unlimited but the meaning of it is most definitely changing. Still faster then Simple Mobile's $40 plan though.

Oregon, Ohio rural area, BFE is just a few miles down the road. [there really is a sign on state route 2 heading east that says, welcome to BFE, Bum F**ked Egypt]

And Im close to using 6GB this month

[jrocker]

mine is around 60kbps after receiving the text, it's normally 400-600

my new month starts at midnight, time to really hit it hard

[Scottish Skyedance]

300 in/300 out after getting throttled. It's much more than enough for continuous audio streaming.

[primetechv2]

Is it just me or do they throttle a ton more occasionally? Like they want a lawsuit?

I can still watch movies through Crackle via my slowed phone. Seriously. They get pixilated fast, but still, I'm using throttled service with two bars while tethering to another phone that's working as an MID. That isn't bad.
