AT&T LTE Ratelimiting for unlimited users?

all:
a few days ago I received the infamous 5% email. I am currently sitting at 4.9GB of data usage on the unlimited LTE grandfathered plan. when all of a sudden my up/down is now at 100k/100k almost symmetrical.
wanted to check with a panel of my peers. have any of you experienced this?

You may have better luck with this question in a forum for another LTE phone, or your own phone.
This Galaxy S II does not support LTE.
On my last bill I hit 5GB less than 10 days in, using a lot of Netflix. I managed to end the billing period with just over 8. My norm is 6-7. I have never been throttled, nor accused of tethering (which I don't use).

I can tell you that I'm at 26gigs for this month and I have gotten no notice from att. This is from downloading all podcasts. I'm only doing this for comparison...this obviously isn't typical usage. So now we can confirm the top 5% is a load of crap. Sounds more like they are throttling depending on what you do and not how much you do. There goes net neutrality.

I think the OP has a GSII ****rocket.
Anyways AT&T is known for throttling LTE users for low usage.
On HSPA+ on My note, I hit 11gigs and they threatened to throttle me on Day 28 of my billing cycle. I think they just throttle based on what speed you have. F***ers

Had it with my gs3.

Thinking about coming back to the one s. Saw kernel source was released. Should i jump ship?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I personally wouldn't return to the One S, had to many issues with it. Also the S3 has better battery, screen, more ram, storage. Only thing I miss is sense but touch wiz is holding up just fine

Hmm, did you root? WiFi could be a boot.img problem. I've not had signal issues but flashing the latest radio or the eu radio fixed it for others. What? The One S has great battery. I get almost six hours of heavy usage [Games, Web, Music at the same time]. The only thing I wish for is more access to ram. There is no reason I should only have 200 free mbs.

Go to one s. It's tied at first for a reason. I have NO problems. Signal is great and very fast with great battery. Chicago

Signal great WiFi never had problem battery hmm decent can be better

Im curious to hear about your SGSIII issues

Shouldnt this be in gs3 forums ?

Was asking Q's about the one s and it turned into a gs3 topic
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Have you made the switch yet? I PM'd you about a possible trade

Might just return it because I'd be losing money if I traded it straight away. Ill get refunded the gs3 from t-mobile there is a huge difference in price between the two.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Exchange is done coming back to the one s. Phone is great just not 279 on a new contract great. Maybe when it's more developed I'll come back when its cheaper on an upgrade but by then new stuff will be out.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

how much is a one on contract? they're the same price off-contract

My contract is amazing 12.00 pm 300 min unlim text 750mb data free phone black 24mnth and I bought the phone 2weeks after it came out do it with redemption with mobiles but if u know what ur doing u ALWAYS get your cashback frm them they are good
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Gs3 is officially on its way back and rocking the one s again unlocked, rooted using axiom 1.6, twrp and latest eu radio. Reception has been awesome and holds steady no matter what. I do lose service at home which seems to be an issue with low signal strength on 4g and not rolling over to edge. Not a big deal because wifi is available at home. This phone just feels completely better than the gs3 and is definitely faster! Plus I have 75gbs of free drop box space ;-) so that makes up for any storage issues between the two.

How can the one s be faster than gs3? Gs3 is quad core

Boost mobile ics

So you can get a boost evo design 4g $299 that the site says sells with ics already on it. For $55 a month shrinking bill and $10 extra for hotspot my only problem is boost network ain't all that great but it's all sprints network. I had a boost a long time ago not never for anything like a smart phone

Boost uses Sprint network without the benefit of any roaming agreements. Sprint network without the Verizon roaming agreement is horrible. The reason Sprint is rolling out lte is cuz wimax 4g is a failure. There is a reason the service is cheap. Contract and prepay is not comparing apples to apples. It's apples to tomatoes.

S3 still the best on verizon market?

Hey I have a chance to get a phone on contract and switch it to my unlimited plan on Verizon. I have an s3. Is this the best on verizon. My friend for some reason has really bad credit but has a chance to get new lines with new contract price. Then he is just not going to pay. Now this isn't something I would do but he did offered me a chance to get any phone I want for cheap price. Should I keep my s3 or just get a different phone and sell it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Do you like the Note 2? I'd get that if I had the chance. If you want to wait a few months then we may see the GS4. The best phone currently announced is Xperia Z which who knows will ever come to VZW.

I do like the note 2 but it is pretty big. Is that the best phone to get
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Its really a matter of preference in screen size. And the fact the note has a quad core. I would wait and get the galaxy 4 when it comes out. I love my 3
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

Yeah so ill probably just keep my s3 so ill just sell a phone is there anywhere I can sell. I know ebay and I have close to 500 feedback but hate fees. If someone offers something I can do threw paypal.

Try craigslist. You can often get better prices on ebay even after the fees, if you are lucky.

The new DNA looks pretty good. Only down side is it doesn't have a removable battery or expandable memery

S3 is my baby. Love the thing. But if the Note 2 was out when I upgraded, I may have gone with that. They're so close on about everything except screen size. Like it was stated above, personal preference.

That's dirty, man.

yeah when you said "for some reason" your friend has bad credit.... Doing stuff like this is the reason. It's also why lots of people who are just joining verizon pay a $300 deductible for service. That being said, my gf has the SIII, and I'm still rockin' the GNEX running ParanoidAndroid. I'm upgrading my work phone and going with either the Note2 or the DNA. I think you'd get a better re-sale price for either of these 2 phones than for the SIII if that's what you're looking for.

Tell your friend I said thanks for doing his part to make my service more expensive.

Whats the name of your note 2 rom and is there a Verizon version

Honestly you should blame the verizon reps. We went today and he was 250 past due. Usually they don't open new lines. He was going to pay it but the rep said its Ok I have a way around it so you can pay later. I was on the side like WHAT. What would you do. So not to a note 2 at 350? Instead of full retail? I ended get the note 2 for my gf which it is pretty cool.

Ya have you heard the rumored size of the note3. It's going to be 6.5 inches. I think the 5.5 is pushing it. I held the note 2 is not to bad but anything bigger than that is pointless to me unless you are on bluetooth headset all day for calls. The battery has to be humongous to power that bad boy.

My concern is if I move my five lines which I pay $200 now will rise in cost because I would either have to pay for five phones outright or finance them which will add at least another $100 to a bill that would be about $160 before taxes.

Nexus 5 is $0 down/$16.50 month right now, so $82.50 a month in top of existing plan (but you'd get 5 Nexus 5's!).

Everyone may not want the Nexus 5. That can be an issue. Especially with my wife. Lol.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app

It was just an example, there are other $0 down phones, too (and you can expect some deals may pop up for Valentine's day).
My wife wouldn't want a nexus, either. She's addicted to qwerty.
However, I don't see any reasonable qwerty phones out there, since the Galaxy Relay 4G (which she has now).

Yeah, if you wait until the end of your contract, you can carry over any compatible devices. It might be the better option.
Who are you with now? Just for fun I checked on Verizon and for slightly less data, they want $300/month for 5 lines.
