Roaming Speeds

What is the typical roaming speeds while in USA?

Full speed LTE roaming = ?
Throttle LTE roaming = ?

I think I remember reading they use T-Mobile mainly correct?

They use AT&T now. The changed happened on Jan 1 2017...

Speeds are ok, I see about 25-40 down and 10-15 up...

Latency is high, however, as you are routed to globalives POI.
Plus your IP address shows Canadian while you are using cellular...

throttled, I see 25Kbps-70Kbps roaming on AT&T in Alaska.

Yes, sorry...

I see under 100kbps when throttled too...

That's good enough for notifications and e-mails, as well as Waze to work without issue. But anything that requires any measure of data will either be painful or outright fail.

I am pretty sure I will blow through the 1GB so we shall see what happens after the fact
Hopefully throttle not too bad

If throttle is too bad Koodo allows roaming for $8 per day which would tide me over

I thought the $25 was only for 1GB though?

Either way not like I am streaming so hopefully throttle will be ok we shall see

Yes, it only gives you an extra 1gig for 5 days...

The $8 per day may work better if you're using more for longer...

I typically use about 1.5gigs a month using email and Waze every day in the states...

Last month I burned through my 2400minutes. That was awkward...
