Not being Throttled anymore At&t?

After At&t started Throttling my data a few months ago at 5 gb my speed dropped To about 500k immediately but this month I am at about 9 g and no limit Has kicked. Am I just lucky or big blue finally came to its senses?

9 gigs .......

Hmm, interesting. Be curious to see what other people's experiences are.
Could be that you just got lucky, and the system isn't perfect.
I might just test it out (blow past the throttle limit intentionally), to see what happens. My billing period ends tomorrow, anyway.

great reply...*sarcasm*

When I log into myAT&T, my days limit has been changed from unlimited to 9999 gigs and 0.00 for each additional gig or whatever unit they use to charge now.
Don't know if that's relevant or not, but I noticed it changed a month or two ago.

Nope, my billing period just reset today and I was throttled after 5GB down to about 0.6mbps for the past week. Still managed to get to 8GB though..

I'm on straight talk and they throttled me to Sprint "3g" speeds close to 4gb.
For those that don't know, sprint 3g is no better than Edge

I saw an article somewhere I think it was gizmodo, where its bad for you to use data when you have poor signal because....
1. The carrier measures what data they send, not what your phone receives.
2. If you have poor signal, there is definitely a loss of data from the tower to your phone so your getting charged regardless if your phone receives all of what is being sent.
So I may have hit over 4gb but my phone measurements was at 3.7gb

Netflix works quite well even at throttled speed.
Here's my beef with netflix. When I'm not throttled it streams FULL HD, killing my data.
When I'm throttle, it seems to use LESS data as it probably streams lower quality.
BUT I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE ON MY PHONE.
Wish I could always stream lower quality to save data.

Netflix - On your phone eatin' all your data.

You do realize there is such a thing as WiFi.

Yeah, everyone's situation is different. If you have access to WiFi at home and work, your network data usage can be close to nothing. I have a friend that still has a 1st gen iPhone, has WiFi at home and school, and his network data usage since first buying the phone 5 years ago is only a few gig!
Personally, I'm on WiFi at home, and don't typically have time to be streaming and other data hungry activities while out of the house. Other people don't even have any type of data connection at home, aside from their phone, and use the phone for everything.

I pulled a 60gb month from at&t 4-5 months ago

Log into Netflix from you PC, you can adjust the stream rate to save data and not affect quality too too much

yea duh .. NOWAI really i had no idea . im on wifi 90% of the time lol

I'm not sure about everybody else's plans but At&t charges me $10 per every gig I use over my 3 gig limit. I would hate to see you guy's phone bills if your up 8, 9, and 60 gig per month.

I have grandfathered in "unlimited" data like I'm sure a lot of people in this thread do. When you hit 5gb they usually throttle you to .5 mb download.. I'm sure there will be a class action lawsuit before too long about this.

There is quite a big difference between the two.
1) Android pay is only NFC capable. Samsung pay is not.
2) Samsung pay uses NFC AND MST technology for mobile payments, depending on the terminal.
If you would like more information, I would suggest visiting samsung website referencing to samsung pay.

I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic. But it's the same one that they have been offering for free through various deals since the initial launch of the note 5.

No I was being serious. I knew they were giving away some wireless chargers with the Note 5 at purchase, but didn't know they were doing it for Samsung Pay too.

It is a crappy charger anyway... Any 3 coil one on amazon for $15 will run circles around this free one in terms of placement and connection stability.

thats only for users on the new unlimited plan I was told when I asked. The old $10 or $20 plan still gets your grandfathered amount

Is there supposed to be some notification for this? If I didn't read this I wouldn't know about it, how can I be sure I got it?

To answer my own question, there is no notification.
I just called t-mobile, and all you have to do is make sure binge on is active, and once you reach your throttle point, turn your phone off and back on, and you're good to go.

If you are coming from tmobile might I suggest MetroPCS. They run off of tmobile network so your coverage shouldn't change.

In my area, cricket has better coverage for way cheaper. If your coverage is fine, MetroPCS might be a good fit.

Cricket was one that I was looking at. . seems pretty good coverage in my area. It runs off att tower. But does simple mobile also run of att?

Look through the bill in my.t-mobile.com, it will break down every charge, if you need help, go to a store ask the rep nicely to help you figure it out. As long as customers aren't rude about it, we're happy to help people sort out what's going on

I actually did that. But they say to call 1800 cuz they can't see anything. He said it just said there where charge for something but dint say what exactly was.. And than the 1800 number said the same thing. They they told me that the bill can't be adjusted.. That's what got me upset. They are charging me for extra stuff and they can't even tell me what it is... I made my regular month payment and they said they will look into the issue. Because they admit it not normal.. Makes no since

I heard a little bit about it on Christmas from a family friend but he didn't really explain it well. My T-Mobile bill seems kind of high too but I don't like to deal with the hassle of switching plus I like being able to jump every year. Thanks for the info ?

Well jump is only good for people with good credit. I still had to put a down payment of 400$ so I'm definitely not giving this phone back to tmbile

Leasing a phone is a horrible Option. You don't own it and when it's time to opt to purchase it is worth less than what they want. You are basically fighting for yearly upgrade and still rent a phone. Good luck

If you absolutely need the latest and greatest then buy it outright. I also will never choose the lease option on a phone or an apartment for that matter. You're pretty much renting a device, sounds like pouring money down the drain to me. Do you really need a new device every year? I just now got the Note 7 from the Note 4 and it felt like I just bought the 4 yesterday and hesitated if I really needed a new phone.
