Anyone else been throttled already?

2.5 weeks into my month i get texted that phone basically just became worse than my BB speeds because i use my phone too much. Anyone else enjoying the awesome speeds of .06mbs with me?

i am still 2 weeks in but speed is still 6-9 mbps
but as i read somewhere , t mobile slows down your speed when you reach 2.5 gb

You are getting EDGE like me. TMO throttles after 5GB until next bill cycle. But then, We are on the "LARGEST 4G Network" arn't We?

Yup, increase coverage and speeds, lower the data cap in half, and use up your data in half the time! I think if I did the math right, I can cap out 5gigs in about 9hours of watching netflix via my playon app alone; which is about 20min a day for a given 30 day month. They should of kept the 10gig at least, considering EVERYTHING this phone does practically uses the internet.

Wow, I didn't know they did that. I thought I used mine a lot, but I just checked and I only use about 500-600 MB a month, lol

Do you guys have the unlimited plan? Mine says I have unlimited remaining so I really hope they don't throttle it after 5gb, since I use a TON of internet.

Yep, my wife and I have both been throttled and have unlimited. I hate TMO and can't wait to go to Sprint for real unlimited.

I never get close to this.. dont you have real internet, like 99.9% of the world, I believe even remote parts of Africa have internet.. you really dont need to tether your phone for everything.

wow wtf are you guys doing with your phones? tethering to your PC and broadcasting 1080p video on ustream?? My next billing cycle starts in 5 days and I've only used 250mb (I'm in a 4G area). I use my data A LOT too - youtube, surfing the web, market downloads, facebook, twitter, etc. I use an app called Line2 for my incoming/outgoing calls and text msgs which relys on my data and I still don't get close to 1GB.

I will tell you how I consume 5GB quickly.
I am an independent IT consultant where my clients don't allow access to their network with my machine. Therefore, I am tethered 12hrs every business day. Syncing a 3gb IMAP mailbox all day is a lot of data alone!
I consume 1GB every 3 working days.

Then you should have the common sense to have a better internet solution than tethering.
I've never run into the data cap, not because I don't use my data, but because I'm actually wise about it and don't carelessly burn bandwidth. Use Wifi when available, don't try to consume as much data as you can.
How many of these threads do we need about how the OP didn't bother to check usage or ***** about data throttling?

buh bye now

Hey, we have no data limits at sprint..
Except you'll be lucky to see more than 300 kbps in most areas during the day with 3g, and ~2-5 Mbps on 4g. We have people in the evo forum *****ing about the extremely slow network, ready to jump ship to vz or elsewhere.
I've come to the conclusion there is no ideal solution. Each provider is a compromise of different elements such as price, service, data, features, etc.

Common Sense? I was answering a question as to how one can get the to 5gb limit, period.
Common sense says Tmobile should have told me about the 5gb threshold when I agreed to a contract, and fine print is not acceptable.

Common Sense? You are expecting a Corporation sales person to be honest with you? They are interested in one thing and that is selling a product. They don't care if you get screwed in the end. They will just take your $200 ETF when you find out how much they lied to you... Well didn't disclose the TRUTH to you and you move on to the next corporation that does it to you in another way. That's what business has come to in America.

A warning would have been nice around 4gigs. TBH, if you say you use the web all the time and only have 4-500megs usage your lying. My biggest data drain went into streaming TV and music from my home server. I was unaware t-mobile even had a limit until i got the message saying I was cut off, because when i had my BB i would usually only average about 20megs a month usage. Hell, I ALMOST went with a 200meg connection, but didn't want to feel restricted so I went with unlimited.
These phones are beast, as they should be with a 4+meg connection! It just doesn't seem fair to offer us all these gadgets and offer us their TV packages and crap then take it away just barely into the month because we actually use what they advertised to sell the product!

On average my apps have been between 2-3megs each...
So at ~87 custom apps, that I have actually kept and not just downloaded to try, at 2.5megs each that's 217.5megs; a total which almost meets your usage so far alone.

Well, I'm in my first month with TMO and already got my 5GB notice. Isn't it nice. I get a ripping 20 KB/SEC on my best download but, usually around 10 to 12KB/SEC on AMERICAS LARGEST 4G NETWORK. That happened right in the middle of a SW update and their CRAPPY network could not even handle a text message and the download at the same time. They cut me down to 5KB/SEC and it took close to 2 hrs to DL 50MB. What a deal they are giving us. The big problem is the only company that I have ever been happy with is no longer doing business in my area. Lots to look forward to.

Over 100Gb in one month

I've had the Charge since day 1, transitioning from one rom to another and finally aquired 4g back on the 20th of Oct. Since then I've managed to use 114GB of data and my bill cycle ended on the 25th of this month. Just wondering if anybody has managed to use this much data in a months time and if verizon is trying to charge extra for going over 100GB?

Wow that's a lot.. I've maxed out at 11 GB on my charge and around 40 GB on my wife's thunderbolt with unlimited tethering. Although this month I'm sure too beat that since I used the thunderbolt to download the star wars old republic beta. That was around 30 GB by itself.

You are definitely going to have your account reviewed. That much data usage in a month is nearly impossible on a phone, so they will try to determine if you are tethering.

holy gigabytes batman! I've used less than 200 MB over the past 3 months combined.

Most ive hit was 40GB and nothing happened. 100 is WAY to much for just roms bro, you got to be doing some tethering.
I know I do, thats how I hit 40GB and thats streaming HQ content.

Holy Data Usage Batman! (Sorry, I had to say that LOL)
I barely use 2 GB a month, only once did I reach 2.5 GBs. And that's with streaming music in the car and occasional web browsing.
I hate to say this but people like you, using 100 GBs, is why Verizon got rid of the Unlimited Data plans.

My data abuse record is 50 gb, and that was torrenting almost every night.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

I myself average 10-15gb a month, not tethering. I stream Netflix during my lunch breaks though too. Still, most people sound like they are averaging far more than the current cap in place. I don't know what I'm going to do when they start phasing out the grandfathered in people.

Wow, well now I know who all to blame when everyone on Verizon gets pushed into the tiered data plan.
I use my phone for a lot of stuff that uses data. I even tether but only when I'm not around an internet source. I stay below 2 to 2.5GB every month.

Ya I'm definitely not trying to be a data hog but I do download alot of bluray movies off torrents (5-7gb a pop) and Rage the game was 18Gb by itself. I usually only use about 40 but somehow I got carried away this month. 4g I definitely worth it
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.1

Most they'll probably do is throttle you (at this point its safe to assume you are in the top 5% data users if not the #1) to 3G speeds or lower. Now if you do it multiple times, then I'd be worrying

Just buy the tether plan if you are using that much IMO. It is still saving you money in the long run over a high speed home connection and it would alleviate the worry of getting forced into tiered data by Verizon.

Meh, I've seen a bill over 425GB.
I'm thinking the top 5% throttling mechanism will keep the network stable enough to keep us on our grandfathered plans. I'd hate to be wrong, I average 6 or 7GBs or so myself.
Verizon seems to be great at coming up with ways to keep the network bandwidth usage in check:
1. Network Optimization- http://support.verizonwireless.com/information/data_disclosure.html
2. Top 5% Throttling - http://www.intomobile.com/2011/09/19/verizon-starts-throttling-top-5-data-users/
3. Turbo API - http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/2/2...er-data-turbo-api-to-developers-fees-to-users
4. ??
5. Profit!

The most I used in 1 month was 15gb. That was watching a lot of Netflix. I probable average 4gb most months.

One of my friends bought into tethering and he previously had the unlimited data. They told him he had to give up unlimited if he paid for tethering. I don't know why but he STILL PAID FOR IT!

bypass AT&T throttling

Is there a way to bypass AT&T throttling? I am at around 15days into my billing cycle and have used close to 13gigs and they throttled me to slow speeds. Now some of my apps do not work. I know it is from not having tv and watching hours of Veetle a day.

Yeah, don't use so much data.

How exactly is using any amount of data "abusing the system" when you have an unlimited plan? It certainly isn't difficult to put up 13 GB. I decided to try MOG the other day and put up a couple gig in about as many hours. I ended up with around 7 GB or so last month. Granted that's more than I usually use, but I don't see how any amount of data use is abusing the system when you have an unlimited plan. Sounds like AT&T is brainwashing you into thinking you should pay for something unlimited, but still not use much of it.
Meanwhile, for every person who used 13 GB on their "unlimited" plan, there were probably 100 people who used only a couple hundred MB on any plan. While 13 GB may be a lot to us, 2-5 GB isn't. And when you talk about the average person, 1 GB is a lot, and the average people outnumber us by a very large amount.

Really T-Mobile?

So yeah my "unlimited" plan was slowed down because I exceeded the 2 GB limit on the plan I had. My question is, how much do they cut off in the "unlimited" plan when you reach your maximum 4G bandwidth?
I noticed that my speed is so sluggish that when I download something it goes by the kilo bytes, and I can't stand it!
Also it has nothing to do with the reception, I live in the tri-state area so obviously T-Mobile has full coverage of where I live.

its probably because you have the 2gb high speed unlimited plan and not the unlimited nationwide 4g plan (I have that and I love it!! No throttling at all!!

You should have truly unlimited data but only 2 gigs of 4g then they cap your bandwith to about 26k.
Im on simple mobile now but when on tmobile i managed to get 7 gb of data one month with a torrent app.
Never heard of a 4gig limit but ive been on simple for about a year. Maybe diff now.

If i reach that cap.....ill let you know whether or not i get throttled.

Being capped sucks. I called and complained and said i can't even check my e-mail and i use my phone for business this is unacceptable im gonna leave yadda yadda and they gave me a "free" gig of data. I suggest you do the same

10,000 gigs. Assuming the month has 30 days:
Around 333 gigs per day
13 gigs per hour
.23 gigs (230 megabytes) per minute
3.85 megabytes per second
It's definitely doable if you have a really good phone and something to download 24/7 for a month.

Speed test with my previous SII with 42Mbps+ capability, it only does 25Mbps+ max download, but practically it probably will probably download 20Mbps by average, so I doubt one can reach the limit even downloading 24/7. Would have to wait till next year when LTE is out for T-Mobile.

ATT to Straight Talk

Question: looking at leaving ATT to cut down on expenses. Straight talk and T- mobile both have deals where you can being your own phone and just switch Sims. Since I'm running Scott's CM 10 (12/29), figuring their requirement to have the phone unlocked is not an issue. I noticed that T- mobile has a limit then it's throttled. Straight talk doesn't seem to have a cap or throttle point. Anyone out there can give me their experience with straight talk? Thank you for any advice/wisdom/warnings.

Yes Straight Talk will throttle you. When I first got straight talk I used 5+ gigs in first month without being throttled, but 2 weeks into the second month and about 2 gigs used I got a friendly call from them and was throttled. Severely throttled as close to no data as possible. To use that much data I was setting up computers at a friends house that did not have internet.
I have had straight talk over a year now, and that is the only time I have bee throttled. I have went over 2 gigs in some of those months. ,

I never got a call or text about it but when my next month stated again it seemed speed was back to normal. I do like the Service tho as it is the same as att and half the price

So, from what I've heard so far, straight talk uses ATT towers, so reception should be the same. Data usage should not be a problem, as long as I don't tether. The throttling does go down to a crawl, but some people don't see a definable amount that it starts at. At least one person noted that they called and got speed back up. Overall, not to bad I take it.

I've been using Straight Talk since October and love it but I'm not a huge user of data on my phone or my tablet. I did use my phone as a hotspot over Christmas while at my grandmothers house in the backwoods of Kentucky and not only had service but internet for my laptop and Toshiba Thrive tablet. I must say I was impressed! :victory:

LOL I wouldn't abuse it to much they cut me off completely within 10 days lol funny when I'm home I'm on WiFi anyways I'm switching after this month getting a new phone I'm over the throttle and complete shut off.I will keep the infuse though its a bad a$$ phone for sure.
