Straight Talk has upped the ante on throttling users!

Yeah, just as I was getting ready to try to contact them again it started working well. Hope it stays this way.
Edit: In Miami, FL

I was having serious issues earlier today. Had to refresh to get anything to work. It's fine now. I've used about 5GB so far this month. 11 days to go.

Me too.... I have been impressed with ST but I knew they'd give "us" (the average users that use their phone rather than those that don't use their phone but still pay a bill of some sort and that's who ST was really fishing for) the shaft eventually and while it's not done yet completely they're well on their way to

I've had AT&T data issues the last half week with my iPhone 4s here in So Cal. Sometimes going to airplane mode and back fixes it but there was one night where the data was just dead for a few hours. It is very intermittent there is something seriously wrong going on.

It's been bad enough that I had my first thoughts of leaving Straight Talk.

Every network has their hipcups. It was very mild for me but seemed.to have passed but I can't understand if I had delt with it for a longer period of time. I'm much pleased that they seemed to hhave called the hounds back about disabling data on accounts and just throttling. Haven't had a call or disconnection warning from their end in like 3 months aand I've stayed about 3-4GB a month.

I can't even open a mobile web page. Phone and text seems ok. My consumption for the month which ends Aug. 11 is 156 MB of data, that's right, MB not GB and my wife's phone is 0 data. I turned off the "use data packet" connects only on wifi. If this continues, I will have to cancel the auto refill on both phones first, then go back to Red Pocket, with the amount of data we use, I think we'll be ok. This is rediculous being throttled even if we're not using much data. We're in Honolulu.

I got called for excessive usage of Internet Radio at 4 GB of usage on the last day of my expiration date of service back in june.

**Tyler_S12** · 08-09-2012, 02:33 PM

I've been having issues like this this past week.. Data will go out even though it says 4G, it also hates when I'm using wifi will receiving calls.. This is my second month with Straight Talk.. First month I used about 2GB with no calls from them. This month has been hell, data in and out.. I have to reset everything multiple times. It's gotten so bad I'm considering just going back to my old phone.

Located in South Florida. The last two days on my 4S, I've noticed that my data connectivity has been going in and out, not necc. limited speed or my 4G icon going in and out, just my data connection seems to be dropping intermittently. So I was worried I had been throttled, but DataMan says I only used 640 MBs through 15 days of my cycle. So is it safe to assume alot of people are having issues?
